Description: |

Prasat Ban Noi is located at Mu 4, Phakkha Sub-district. It is a
Prasat with 2 walls. The Outer Wall is an earth mound of 67
metres wide and 80 metres long. Outside the mound, it seems to
have once had a surrounding moat that is at present shallow. On
the other hand, the Inner Wall was constructed of laterite with
a height of 2.2 metres. The sanctuary faces East with one
entrance at this side, of which the gateway pavilion is 10.8
metres wide and 19.7 metres long. It is divided into 3 rooms
inside: one each in the north and south, while the other is at
the centre. Outside the boundary wall lays a pond in the
northeast, with a width of 15.5 metres and a length of 20.5
metres. The edge of the pond was lined with laterite and
constructed into staircase steps on its 4 sides. There is water
remaining inside the pond. Inside the boundary wall in the
southeastern corner stands a construction made of laterite with
a width of 4.5 metres and a length of 9 metres. It is a Bannalai
- a library. However, the entrance gate and the western wall of
the building were all ruined. At the centre inside the boundary
wall is a Prang whose base was made of laterite with a height of
1 metre. On top is a brick construction, with only northern and
southern walls remaining. The middle of the Prang was excavated
illegally into a large hole. At the back outside the boundary
wall is a pile of bricks, while at the front of the Prang is a
piece of the moonstone doorstep made of laterite. It is possibly
the doorstep of the entrance to the Prang.
Moreover, at
the 500 metres northwest of the Prasat Ban Noi Ancient Monument,
there is a mound of an ancient monument, where there are various
holes illegally excavated and scattered rectangular laterite
blocks. To get there: take Highway No. 33 (Watthana Nakhon –
Aranyaprathet) from Watthana Nakhon District for 10 km. At the
800 metres prior to the Phakkha Sub-district Administration
Organisation, there is a direction sign on the left. Proceed for
2 km along the narrow laterite road.
