The only monument in Phimai Historical Park, located in the heart of Phimai town, is Prasat Phimai, a Khmer temple dating back to the reign of Jayavarman V (early 11th century). It is one of the most important temples of its kind in Thailand and architecturally resembles Angkor Wat, which was built almost a century later. Extensive restoration work was carried out jointly by Thailand and France in the 1960s, so the temple is now in excellent condition. It is undoubtedly the highlight of any visit to Phimai and an absolute must-see in Nakhon Ratchasima province (60 km from Nakhon Ratchasima).

I recommend staying in nearby accommodation, for example at the Phimai Paradise Hotel. From there you can reach the temple on foot! Phimai is a small town, and the temple is located in the town center.
