Prasat Khonburi ปราสาทค์ครบุรี
This small sight has been extensively restored into what it once looked like. This Khmer ruin is known as an arogyasala or hospital chapel.
Prang Khonburi is located in the Khonburi district of Nakhon Ratchasima province.
It is a Mahayana Buddhist temple with a simple tower and a rectangular building set inside an enclosure. There is a square pond located to the northeast.
The temple or Arohayasala served as a medical station built by order of King Jayavarman VIl
(1181-1218). During his reign 102 medical stations were built across the empire.
It was officially proclaimed as an Ancient Monument by the King on September 27th 1936.

Ku Phra Ko Na กู่พระโกนา
The largely intact 3 towered, 11th-century sanctuary, located in the southern region of the province and accompanied by a substantial-sized baray to the east, (Baray Ku Phra Ko Na), indicate the site was one of some importance.
The 3, east-facing, brick shrines are positioned on a laterite and sandstone platform with an enclosing wall and traces of four gopuras.
The central shrine was renovated in the 19th century and given a coat of stucco, the northern tower is partially collapsed and is covered by a roof to prevent further damage. Only the southern tower retains something of its original appearance. Most of the sandstone door frames and lintels, and even a pediment, remain on site.
The reliefs are likely to be early to mid 11th century in a Khleang or Baphuon style.
The northern tower features a large, double-register lintel depicting a reclining Vishnu with a now missing deity seated upon Kala below. A small, damaged pediment above the lintel appears ...
