Site Size & Condition: Unconfirmed Site Size & Condition: ReservoirT36031 (ไม่ทราบชื่อ - Pronounced: Unknown)

Possible but unconfirmed ancient reservoir site located immediately west of the active Buddhist monastery Wat Chong Fang Wanaram. The wat displays no known vestiges but marks the location of a pass, now rural highway 3010, which traverses a narrow range of hills corresponding to the border between the present-day provinces of Chaipahyum and Khon Kaen. The presence of an ancient temple site - Boran Sathan Ba Phra Chao - a short distance due west of here suggests the route may also have been in use during the Angkor period.

The reservoir displays an alignment of between 95 and 100 degrees and a 2:1 size ratio of 75m x 150m, both of which are typical of Khmer-era, manmade reservoirs. A small, uncultivated and tree-covered patch just west of the reservoir merits examination.
