Phimai Historical Park

That's amazing! The weather was lovely, perfect for a leisurely walk around the spacious 100-rai property. The grounds are beautifully preserved, with different rooms showcasing the architecture. At the back, there’s a massive tree believed to be over 400 years old. Admission: 200 baht for foreigners, 20 baht for Thai nationals, and free for children under 12. Parking: Available near the entrance, fits around 15 cars. Museum: Air-conditioned and pleasantly cool inside. Restrooms: Very clean. It’s absolutely worth bringing children to experience and appreciate ancient Khmer art. A truly valuable and worthwhile visit! ❤️🙏

A great historical park dated back over a thousand years in great Kmer Kingdom. The place is well maintained, very shady with many big trees and green lawns. A small exhibit explains the story and history of the place. A good walk around in this place on a sunny day will make your day! Worth a visit in itself! [Parking space is limited, can be a problem on a busy day.]

Small place but still beautiful park for a walk. There are plates in English that tell the story of. Foreigners pay 100 bhat, locals 20 and kids are free.

Phimai isn’t just a historical site—it’s a storyboard waiting to be shot. From the first step through the ancient gates, it feels like you’ve entered a sacred script written in stone. Light falls perfectly on every carved detail. Angles? Endless. Mood? Magic. As a content creator, this place gives you texture, symmetry, emotion—and most importantly, a story that tells itself. Whether you're filming a reel, writing a travel piece, or just taking it all in, Phimai is a reminder that heritage isn't static—it's alive, and it's cinematic.

Impressive ancient temple site, well worth the visit if you are in the area.

absolutely fantastic if you're in this area- go there! beautiful park with a gorgeous Khmer Tempel well worth visiting 🙏

For sure, this place has the best visitor centre of the three historic parks I visited, the other two in south Buriram. There's a very informative video you can watch before visiting the site as well as a good information leaflet in different languages, including English. For sure, you can see some similarities to Angkor Wat, albeit this place is much smaller. But this shouldn't surprise anyone as Phimai was part of the Khmer empire whose capital was at Angkor and road linked these two places together. It's great to see such well-preserved 1000 year old stone carvings adorning these ancient buildings. Get there early before it gets too busy to soak up the atmosphere of this place.

This is a fascinating historical site that offers a glimpse into Thailand's past. The beautiful architecture and serene atmosphere make it a perfect place for a family outing. While some areas might be undergoing renovation, the main attractions remain open to visitors. The ticket price is quite reasonable considering the historical significance of the site. It's advisable to bring an umbrella, especially during the rainy season, to ensure a comfortable visit. Overall, Phiman Stone Castle is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone seeking a cultural experience in Thailand.
