Castle in the Valley

Prasat Sdok Kok Thom is considered the largest Khmer castle in the eastern region. It is located in Khok Sung District, Sa Kaeo Province. If you come to Sa Kaeo Province, you should not miss it. Prasat Sdok Kok Thom is believed to have been built in the 14th Buddhist century to house religious figures and perform rituals according to the beliefs of Hinduism. The word Sdok Kok Thom means “a city with reeds growing in a large swamp.” Today, you can still see the large swamp in the past near the castle. What is most valuable and important about Prasat Sdok Kok Thom is the discovery of the Sdok Kok Thom stone inscription (stone 2), which records the history of the Khmer people for a period of 200 years. It is considered a very interesting piece of history. #Mr.Tourist #VisitHistoricalSite #WinterMountainTravel

SADOK KOK THOM HISTORICAL PARK

The largest Khmer castle in the eastern region, over 1400 years old An ancient site in Thailand since the time of the Khmer Empire is Prasat Sdok Kok Thom Historical Park, Ta Phraya, Sa Kaeo Province, or Prasat Mueang Phrao. It is a stone castle located near the Thai-Cambodian border. Sdok Kok Thom in Khmer means a large and overgrown reed clump. It is assumed that in the past, it was deserted and surrounded by reeds. Prasat Sdok Kok Thom is considered the largest Khmer castle in the eastern region. It was built as a temple to worship Shiva or Lord Isuan according to the Hindu beliefs. Here, a stone inscription was discovered indicating that it was built in the 14th Buddhist century, which is very old, 200 years before Angkor Wat. According to religious beliefs, when a king ascends to the throne, he must build a castle to worship Shiva. If that king dies, the castle construction will stop immediately. This castle was built by King Udayadityavarman II, which is approximately 1,419 years old, which is a very long time. The castle is made of laterite and sandstone, whole pieces stacked together, then carved into patterns. Along the walkway, there are carved sandstone pillars called Nang Rae pillars. Anyone traveling to the province must not miss this. #VisitHistoricalSite #Mr.Tourism
