Ku Phra Kona, Sawanaphum District, Roi-Et Province

At Ku Phra Kona there are three east-facing brick towers situated on a laterite base in a north-south direction enclosed by a wall containing an entrance gate or Gopura on each of the four cardinal points. The towers themselves were adapted from their original state. The central tower was coated in stucco and reconstructed in tiers, each with niches containing Buddha images on the four cardinal points. The pediments of the northern tower depict a scene from the Ramayana epic whereas the lintel above the front was carved to display the reclining Vishnu while the western lintel which lies on the ground shows the God Visnu on his mount, the Garuda. The lintel above the northern false door of the southern tower displays a divinity sitting on the head of a Kala. It is apparent from the pediment and lintels that this sanctuary was constructed in the Baphuon style of Khmer art dating from the 11th century.
The information board at the site is the older Tourist Authority of Thailand (TAT) board which suggests that no recent excavations have been done at the site or any attempt at restoration.
