Buri Ram is one of the largest and most populated provinces in I-san. About 410 kilometers from Bangkok, it has a number of leading attractions, including the Prasat Hin Phanom Rung and the huge Buddha image atop Mount Khao Kradong.

Buri Ram Cultural Center,
      Situated in the Buri Ram Rajabhat Institute, was built to protect and preserve the unique culture of Lower Isan and to be a museum for arts and artifacts from that area.

Buri Ram Bird Park
     is located at the Huai Talat reservoir, 15 kilometers from the town center on Buriram-Prakhon Chai road. The park is an ideal place for bird watchers. Various kinds of birds migrate to this reservoir during November and April every year. 

Phanom Rung Historical Park
     is located between Amphoe Nang Rong and Amphoe Prakhon Chai. Make a right-turn at Km. 83-84 of Highway No. 24 and go twelve kilometers further to find it. The well-known Prasat Hin Phanom Rung is on the top of the Phanom Rung Mount. It is a walled enclosure, with both the door frames and walls carved in the beautiful Lophuri Period style with Khmer influence. According to Brahminic belief, it was originally built as an idol temple. Within the Prasat (or castle) is a throne hall built in the 12th century A.D. The beauty of the main prang of Phanom Rung lies not only in its plan but in the vibrant stone carvings which cover large parts of the temple. Many lintels and pediments depict episodes from Indian texts such as the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, and the Puranas.

Prasat Hin Muang Tam
     is located some 18 kilometers from Prasat Hin Phanom Rung. The sanctuary is also walled. Within the compound are four ponds, while the structure itself was made of old-style bricks. Door frames, wall surfaces and stone surfaces around the ponds are carved in beautiful designs. It is believed to have been constructed in the 11th century.

Tao Sawai and Tao Nai Chian Ancient Kilns,
      located 5 and 10 kilometers away from Amphoe Ban Kruat, have been excavated by the Fine Arts Department. The kilns were used in the production of glazed potteries during the period of Khmer dominance in this area (about the 9th to the 12th centuries AD).

Prang Ku Suan Taeng
     is located at Tambon Thong Luang in Amphoe Phutthaisong. The three pagodas were erected of brick and mortar in the Khmer style. Their door panels are carved, depicting episodes from the epic of Ramakian (Ramayana). The exquisitely carving of Narai Bantomsin, once stolen and sold abroad, has been returned and is kept at the National Museum in Bangkok.

Phra Suphatthara Bophit
     is enshrined atop Khao Kradong Mount, about six kilometers from town on the Buri Ram – Prakhon Chai Highway. A winding road leads up to the mountain top. A replica of the Holy Footprint is also placed there.
