Soriya Rong Ko

Ancient walled site located beside a contemporary monastery. The walled site is not large, around 25 m x 35 m long with a sandstone doorframe still standing on the east and a large opening on the west which may well be a later modification. The temple itself is no longer to be seen bar a shelter containing a collection of sandstone remnants.

 

The Sema stone here is quite intersting and may have a connection with the Dvaravati culture which dates back to the 7th century and the practice of Theravada Buddhism.
