Site Size & Condition: Medium Tuol Don Muang Phrom (ดอนเมืองพรหม - Pronounced: Dohn Moo'ung P'rohm!)

This small, basic spirit shrine houses a Khmer-style, sandstone boundary marker. The artefact is a small, square pillar with a rounded top and features some highly eroded carvings reported to include a lotus bud. No additional artefacts have been recorded. A small square pond is located immediately east of the site and while there are suggestions that there may have been a now-destroyed temple site in the area east of the shrine, no traces are discernable either on the ground or on satellite images today.

Locals villagers claim that in earlier times there was an ancient temple mound, however the area has been bulldozed and ploughed over for farming. Local temple enthusiasts had to ask villagers for directions to the site, and after scouring around endlessly, stumbled across the small shrine that houses this boundary marker.
