📍Invite you to see ancient paintings at Wat Chan Ngam, Korat.

📍If you are someone who is fascinated by the history and traditional art of prehistoric humans, This place is truly a “must-see”! Under the rock shelter of Wat Chan Ngam, Sikhio, Korat, there is a hidden cultural treasure, which is “ancient paintings” that are believed to be around 3,000-5,000 years old! These paintings appear in groups of 12, divided into images of people, animals, and symbols that cannot be clearly interpreted. The material used is natural red pigments, with some images being solid shadows painted all over the body, while others are just sketches that show interesting details. One of the most striking images is the image of a group of people in various poses, whether sitting, standing, dancing, or shooting an arrow. There are men, women, and children, showing social activities, beliefs, or rituals of the ancient community living in this area. Images of animals also appear, such as pets or wild animals that may have played an important role in their way of life. Interestingly, even after thousands of years, these paintings are still clear enough to see the structure and composition, which shows the skill and intention of the creators of these artworks. Wat Chan Ngam is not just a place for meditation. But it also serves as an open-air museum that preserves rare cultural heritages. This is living evidence from the past and is an important source of learning for those interested in history, art, and archaeology. If you have the chance to visit Sikhiu, stop by Wat Chan Ngam and let nature and traces of the past tell all the unanswered stories by themselves. 📌 Location: Wat Chan Ngam, Sikhiu District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province ⛰ Recommendation: Go in the morning or evening to avoid the sun and don't forget your camera! #TravelThailand #WatChanNgam #AncientCaveArt #Sikhiu #KoratWorthVisiting #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck
