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 Pa Kho (วัดป่าโค, also spelled Wat Pa Ko or Wat Pa Koh) is a lesser-known but historically interesting active Buddhist temple in Ayutthaya, Thailand. Unlike the more famous ruined temples in the central Historical Park (like Wat Mahathat or Wat Phra Si Sanphet), this one remains in use by monks and the local community.
The temple dates back to the late Ayutthaya period, built around B.E. 2100 (approximately 1557 or mid-16th century).
It was originally part of a meditation (vipassana) lineage of temples in the Ayutthaya area.
The name “Pa Kho” translates to “Cattle Forest” or “Cattle Quarter/Market” in English. “Pa” means forest/wood, and “Kho” refers to cattle (วัวควาย or oxen/buffaloes). This reflects its historical location near a major cattle trading market (ป่าคอ or “cattle forest/market”) during the Ayutthaya era, where merchants bought and sold livestock. The area was once called Ban Sala Kaeo ...
Laem Charoen Beach, also known as Hat Laem Charoen, is a charming and laid-back coastal spot located just about 5 kilometers from the center of Rayong city in eastern Thailand.
Situated in the Tha Pradu subdistrict along Taksin Maharat Road, this beach serves as a popular local escape rather than a major tourist destination, offering a genuine Thai seaside vibe where families, locals, and visitors from nearby Bangkok come to unwind, enjoy fresh seafood, and soak in the relaxed atmosphere.
Laem Charoen has long been tied to Rayong’s coastal heritage, which revolves around fishing, maritime trade, and local seafood culture. The area benefits from its proximity to the Rayong River and a nearby fishing harbor, where colorful boats dock and fresh catches are brought in daily. This connection has helped establish the beach as a go-to spot for seafood lovers, with many restaurants drawing from traditions that emphasize simple, high-quality preparations of local marine bounty.
Over time, it has evolved ...
