Eight kilometers from the majestic Phanom Rung lies Muang Tam, another Khmer temple dedicated to Shiva. Built in the late 10th and early 11th centuries, it was restored and opened to the public in the late 1990s. With its four large pools surrounded by nagas, it is one of the best-preserved temples of its kind. Only the five central towers were not reconstructed. Drivers often offer to include a visit to Muang Tam in your Phanom Rung itinerary. Our tip: Take them up on it!

Admission: 100 THB or 150 THB for Phanom Rung + Muang Tam. Open from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Tel.: 044 782 715
