Art | The layout of Prasat Khao Noi consists of 3 brick buildings located in the north-south line. The northern and the southern ones have already collapsed, only the central one remains intact. The northern and the central prasats are on the same base but the northern prasat was extended outward. The southern prasat is on a base with the same height but slightly apart with only a connection by a brick base on the back. It can be seen that the construction of these 3 buildings are not in alignment which is similar to the construction of the prasats in Mueang Phra Nakhon of Khmer, which is not very organized. The north side of the prasat has a rectangular layout. There is only one entrance and one exit on the east side. The doors on the other sides are false doors. The entrance was extended so the diagram of the building is deep. The room’s diagram is rectangular with a curved hole on each side. The central prasat is a brickwork in a square plan extended with twelve wooden corners. There is only one entrance and one exit on the east side. The doors on the other sides are false doors. Inside is a room with different length on each side. The prasat on the southern side is a rectangular building on a brick base with the building made up of walls. There is a porch on the east entrance and the diagram inside the building is rectangular as well. |
Key academic information | This is the place where 5 lintels in Sambor Prei Kuk and Prei Khmeng Arts before Mueang Phra Nakhon were discovered. It is the area where the lintels before Mueand Phra Nakhon were found the most. When compiling with other evidences, it reflects that the eastern region of Thailand has had a relationship with Cambodia since before Mueand Pra Nakhon. |
