Approximately eight kilometres eastwards of the small city of Roi-Et is this Kymer era prasat. It is has been partially restored by the Thai government Fine Arts Department. A modern Thai Wat was built around the prang.
Prang Ku (or Prasat Nong Ku) is a complex of buildings. It comprises the main prang, a library, a wall, entrance pavilions, and a pond outside of the wall. The ruins are in good condition, especially the roof structure of the main prang. There is a modern Buddha statue inside the prang. It is still revered.
The prasat was most likely part of the Kymer expansion into this region of what is now Thailand by the Cambodian king Jayavarman VII, c. 1200.
