Prasat Mueang Kaek is a Hindu or Brahman historic site. The castle has three prangs or pagodas on the same base and faces to the north, surrounded by a moat. It is expected that this castle is a dance ritual offering to deities. This place is used as the annual event of the province called \Dinner\. It is held around March every year.
Very nicely kept old ruins. What made the experience so interesting was a local man who acted as a tour-guide for us. He was able to Thai, Laotian, and English. Make sure you give him a tip, he is very knowledgeable and friendly.
