Phimai Hin Phimai was a Mahayana Buddhist sanctuary. The inscriptions inside the main sanctuary also signify the Buddhist origin of Phimai, praising Lord Buddha and mentioning the Khmer King Suriyavaraman I as a Mahayana Buddhist. It is worth to note that most other Khmer Temples in Northeastern Thailand and present day Cambodia are dedicated to Hindu Gods.
