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.
It is just to the east of the ancient settlement site of Ban Khonburi. The laterite sanctuary closely follows a standard hospital chapel blueprint with a main, east-facing shrine and porch, intact 'library' and enclosing wall with an eastern gopura. All buildings were built with laterite stones with ...
Wat Rai Khing วัดไร่ขิง, officially known as Wat Mongkol Chinda Ram Rai Khing, is a third-class royal temple of the Maha Nikaya sect located along the banks of the Tha Chin River (also called Mae Nam Nakhon Chaisi) in Rai Khing subdistrict, Sam Phran district, Nakhon Pathom Province. The temple sits about 32 kilometers west of Bangkok and remains a popular pilgrimage site for devotees seeking blessings from its revered principal Buddha image.
The temple’s name derives from the area’s historical identity as “Rai Khing” (ginger field), where many Chinese settlers once cultivated ginger extensively. Local tradition credits its founding to Somdet Phra Phutthachan (Puk), a prominent monk and former abbot of nearby Wat Sala Poon, who initiated construction around the mid-19th century (sources vary between 1791 and 1851, during the reigns of Rama III or Rama IV). He oversaw the move of a sacred bronze Buddha image from Wat Sala Poon to serve as the main image here. The temple began as ...
Don Wai Floating Market, also known as Don Wai Riverside Market or Talat Nam Wat Don Wai, sits along the banks of the Tha Chin River in Bang Krathuek Subdistrict of Sam Phran District in Nakhon Pathom Province, Thailand, roughly 30 to 40 kilometers west of central Bangkok.
Although often labeled a floating market in translations from the Thai term “talat nam,” it functions more as a traditional riverside market today, with stalls and wooden shophouses lining the riverbank rather than vendors primarily selling from boats.
The market stretches behind Wat Don Wai temple, featuring old wooden buildings that create a charming, nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of early 20th-century Thai communities, where visitors can stroll along concrete paths past vendors offering fresh produce, prepared foods, and local goods while enjoying river views and traditional Thai-style houses across the water.
The market traces its roots back more than a century, with origins during the reign of King Rama VI around 1910 ...
The Thai national team, the War Elephants, hosted Turkmenistan in a high-stakes final match of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers Group D at Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok on March 31, 2026.
Both sides entered the evening tied on 12 points after five matches, with Thailand needing a victory to overcome the head-to-head deficit from their earlier 1-3 loss in Turkmenistan and secure top spot, while the visitors could advance with a draw.
Under head coach Anthony Hudson, Thailand fielded a solid lineup featuring experienced players such as Patiwat Khammai in goal, defenders including Suphanan Bureerat, Manuel Bihr, Jonathan Khemdee, and Nicholas Mickelson, midfield anchors Theerathon Bunmathan and Thanawat Suengchitthawon, captain Chanathip Songkrasin, and forwards Supachai Chaided and others, setting up an intense battle for qualification to the finals in Saudi Arabia.
Thailand started strongly and broke the deadlock in the 15th minute when Suphanan Bureerat rose to head home a corner ...
