We arrived in the very small town of Nong Rang and immediately found a driver to take us to the beautiful, completely restored ruins of Phanom Rung. The site was occupied from the 9th through 15th century AD. The complete restoration has been actively in process since the mid 1800s. The site is way off the beaten path and definitely slow for our afternoon visit. We were inspired by the solitude and being able to experience a ruin so close to its original state.
