Site Size & Condition: Unconfirmed Site Size & Condition: Reservoir T30165 (ไม่ทราบชื่อ - Pronounced:Unknown)

Rectangular, ancient reservoir situated on the edge of a wooded area just south of the village of Khok Ka Phi. The reservoir is still largely water-filled and is aligned due east-west with embankments measuring some 130m x 250m.

A second, smaller but also intact reservoir, (not listed separately), is situated 150m northeast and shows a similar alignment. The second site measures approximately 70m x 90m.

No ancient sanctuary sites are recorded in the vicinity but the presence of two likely Khmer-period reservoirs suggests the site was of some importance. Curious field patterns to the northwest and southwest may signal ancient settlement sites. (15.01971, 101.85018 and 15.00798, 101.84143 respectively.)

Additionally, a straight track passes directly between the two reservoirs running from the ancient settlement at Khok Ka Phi, just to the north, and continuing in a straight line due south for some 6 or 7 kms to meet modern-day Highway 6. To the north, the track continues due north beyond Khok Ka Phi for several kilometres.
