Phra That Phu Pek, one of interesting archaeological sites in Thailand
Phra That Phu Pek is located at Sakon Nakhon, in the North East of Thailand. It’s an ancient Khmer ruin castle. I think it’s one of interesting archaeological sites in Thailand. It’s situated in very large area on high mountain.
It’s amazing that this castle was built from sandstone and big rocks. I quite wonder how the ancient people worked with those things.
This place is very peaceful and has beautiful scenery with a lot of green trees.
The ruin castle has no roof and there are interesting ancient Buddha images in the castle.
It is believed that ancient people built this castle to see the sun position as ancient calendar for religious ceremony purpose.
If you would like to go there, you would climb up the stairs (over 400 steps) to the top of the mountain.
Apart from nice atmosphere, there are also beautiful peacocks around the area that you can admire them closely.
And you may notice big and old trees over there.
I especially love white wildflowers on the ground as below photo. Really beautiful!
p.s. My sister visited there and sent me these photos to share with you.
Looks like some great views from the top and so much to explore.
Thanks so much for your nice comment and stopping by. Yeah! I absolutely agree with you! ;)
Those peacocks are lovely! I'm so thrilled to know that people can see them up-close in your country! I've only ever saw them in the zoo. I'm glad those beautiful creatures can roam freely there. You are definitely right, my friend! The place looks so peaceful and I can only imagine how beautiful the view is after those 400 steps. Thank you for showing this place. And kudos to your sister for the wonderful photography skills!
Thanks so much for your nice comment on behalf of my sister.... I'll tell her accordingly. ;)
Yeah! It's amazing that the peacocks live freely and we can see them up-close on the top of the mountain.... I think, apart from beautiful view, you can touch fresh air over there, too. This place is highly recommended for you, if you love nature like this. ;)
Wow that looks like a very steep climb @tangmo! Very amazing that they were able to build so high up without modern technology.
Yes, that's very steep climb which over 400 steps! I also quite wonder how they can build those things without modern technology.... Thanks so much for your nice comment! ;)
