Northeast Thailand can boast of a fair number of Khmer sites. Best known are Phimai, Phanum Rung and Muang Tham (see map). Their sculptural art is exquisite and in many cases better preserved than on Khmer temples in Cambodia itself. The Thai Khmer art style is often referred to as Lopburi style after a town to the north of Bangkok which was a centre of Khmer culture.
