Khao Kha
Archaeological Site in Tambon Sao Phao. To get there, take Highway
No. 401 from Si Phibun intersection to the 99-km marker, and turn
left onto Chinda Pracha Sawan Road for 7 kilometers. Khao Kha was a
sacred religious place of the Sawai Nikai Brahman sect who worshiped
Shiva as their highest god. Khao Kha was regarded as being similar
to the mythical Khao Phra Sumen, a centre of worship, that was
surrounded by smaller, secondary historical sites. Many artifacts
that were used in rites have been found here, including phallic
symbols, holy water pipes, ruins, and an ancient pond. The site
dates from the 8th-9th century. The Fine Arts Department completed
its renovation in 1997.
