Nang Rong Travel Guide: The town of Nang Rong is located about 50 km south of Buriram. Tourists visit the town primarily for the Phanom Rung Temple, a magnificent Khmer temple built on an extinct volcano. Located 28 km from the temple, Nang Rong is the last proper town before the Phanom Rung Historical Park. Among the most visited sights are the Phanom Rung Temple, with its long paved walkway above the grand staircase leading to the temple, and Prasat Hin Muang Tam, a beautifully restored small Khmer temple with four pools (8 km from Phanom Rung). The town itself has no significant tourist attractions. Aside from the night market, there isn't much entertainment in the evenings. If you leave early in the morning, you can visit the temples and return the same day by bus (2.5 hours each way) from Nakhon Ratchasima. However, it is recommended to take your time and spend the night in Nang Rong. Especially since there are fewer visitors in Phanom Rong before 10:30 a.m. Note: If you don't have your own transportation, Buriram is probably a better base for visiting the Khmer temples than Nang Rong. Since the Honey Inn closed, it's almost impossible for foreign tourists to rent a scooter in Nang Rong. Finding a driver with a car (around 1,000 THB per day) or a motorbike taxi is also somewhat difficult due to the greater language barrier compared to Buriram. You can find all the information about getting around in Nang Rong in our section "Getting Around in Nang Rong".

Accommodation in Nang Rong: Nang Rong offers a variety of hotels, mostly located near the bus station, as well as hotels in the surrounding area. Simply choose what suits you best. Staying in the city means you're not dependent on your hotel or guesthouse to organize excursions to the magnificent Khmer temple of Phanom Rung and other nearby attractions, or to continue your journey through Thailand by bus. We recommend staying in Nang Rong rather than Buriram for anyone planning to visit Phanom Rung. You'll be closer to the destination, and Buriram doesn't offer much more.

Practical information about Nang Rong: There are only a few hotels and guesthouses in Nang Rong itself, but there is more accommodation in the surrounding area, often in idyllic locations. Using transportation is recommended for exploring the temples, as the Honey Inn, which rented scooters to foreigners, has closed. Phanom Rung and Muang Tam are easy to find even without a map, as the roads are well signposted.

What's the best way to get around Nang Rong? Nang Rong itself is easy to explore on foot. It's a fairly small town. However, to reach Phanom Rung and other attractions outside the town, you'll need transportation. As far as I know, it's not possible for foreign tourists to rent a motorbike in Nang Rong (the Honey Inn, which rented motorbikes and cars, closed a year after the start of the COVID pandemic). Therefore, it's recommended to travel to Nang Rong with your own vehicle or to visit the area from Buriram.
