Large Reclining Buddha Statue in Front of Khao Phra Angkhan Temple

Not far from the home of Aunt Somsiri in Charoen Suk Subdistrict, where we learned about "Phu Akane Fabric," there is a temple located on an extinct volcano. This temple is a significant source of raw materials for dyeing Phu Akane Fabric. The temple is known as Wat Khao Phra Angkhan.

The Wat Khao Phra Ngam temple is located on the summit of Khao Phra Ngam mountain, approximately 320 meters above sea level. Situated roughly 3 kilometers from the village of Charoen Suk in the Charoen Suk sub-district of Buriram province, the temple is believed to have been constructed during the same era as the Phanom Rung stone castle, a period marked by the dominance of the Khmer empire.

The provided text is in Thai and translates to "ใบเสมาพันปี" in English. However, without further context or information about the specific meaning or usage of this phrase, it's difficult to provide a more accurate or nuanced translation.

For instance, "ใบเสมาพันปี" could refer to:

  • A specific type of plant or tree in Thai culture.
  • A historical artifact or monument.
  • A metaphorical expression with a deeper meaning.

To provide a more accurate translation, I would need additional information about the context in which this phrase is used.

This temple is one of the most beautiful and grand in Buriram Province. It boasts numerous attractions, including a three-spired ordination hall adorned with murals depicting Jataka tales in English, a thousand-year-old boundary stone, a single-tusked Ganesha statue, 109 Buddha images, a sacred palace, and statues of Khmer rulers.

The translation of the sentence "พระพุทธรูปใน พระตำหนักศักดิ์สิทธิ์" from Thai to English is:

Buddha statue in the sacred palace.

The extinct volcano Khao Phra Ngam houses a temple within its crater. Archaeological evidence, including numerous carved stone sema stones, suggests that the site may have been an ancient settlement during the Dvaravati period. When viewed from above, Khao Phra Ngam resembles a mythical Garuda bird with outstretched wings or a bowed head, facing south towards the permanent village.

The left wing of the body is an ancient artifact and the ashes of the Buddha. The left wing of the hill extends to the east, where the village of Jerin Suk is located. The tail extends to the north, where the village of Svay Sao is located in Nang Rong District, Buriram Province. Khao Angkhar covers an area of approximately 90 square kilometers.

Unfortunately, the current structures were built on top of the original ones, making it impossible to determine the nature of the original construction. We spent a considerable amount of time exploring the grounds of Wat Khao Phra Ngam, but surprisingly, we did not encounter a single monk residing there.

The temple appears relatively new, although somewhat overgrown with leaves and grass. A leisurely stroll reveals intriguing architecture, blending Hindu, Khmer, and Thai influences in a unique display of faith and artistry.

Temple on the Hill

Besides the unusual location, the top of Phra Angkhan Mountain also offers a surprising view, as you can look down from the peak to see the scenery below.

After a long walk, we glanced at our watches and realized we needed to head back before nightfall. Our driver was unfamiliar with the area and the roads, which were dusty and led through rice fields and a stone mill. Traveling after dark wouldn't be pleasant.
