    This place is worth a brief visit because whilst it isn't a large site, the ruins here are of historic importance. They date back to 13th Century Khmer culture. Each of the buildings have information boards (English Translation) describing the architecture of each Tower, all of them contructed using laterite. A more modern Temple surrounds this ancient site, but you're dissuaded from entering by "dog warning" signs.

    Worth a quick visit, you won't need more than 30 minutes probably. Easy to reach by bike from city centre (approx 10 minutes).

    We stumbled upon this temple after lunch & before continuing our journey to Hua Hin. Absolutely mind-blowing! Felt like we came to a mini angkor wat. Worth visiting!

  • 5/5 Fern G. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful historic temple, with 4 buildings from the 13th century built in Khmer style. There are also more modern Thai style buildings in the complex. It was free to enter, and although the dogs bark when you enter they won't cause you any further problems if you speak calmly with them. There are also free toilets here.

  • 3/5 Raymond L. 4 years ago on Google
    This wat is famous for the Angkorian temple complex on its grounds. While it is certainly not the most impressive Khmer temple you will find in Thailand, it does have one distinction: it is the southernmost Khmer temple in all of Thailand. Phetburi must have marked the southern frontier of the Angkor Empire. Today there are some crumbling laterite walls and towers, with a few traces of stucco and stone carving. An active Buddhist monastery remains on the grounds.

  • 4/5 Floris de N. 2 years ago on Google
    Southern most located Khmer temple. Worth a detour on your way south, or north.

  • 4/5 Peter van Z. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 AnsBi 7 years ago on Google

😐 Beautiful temple, but, unfortunately, was closed. There are many aggressive dogs in the area. I had to quickly take a photo and leave. There are many other temples nearby.
