Locally called Prasat Bai Khrim, this edifice is supposed to be 1 of the 17 rest stops for the pilgrims, constructed by the command of King Chaiyavarman VII along the route linking Yasothon Pura, the capital of the Khmer Empire, to Phimai.
This laterite solitary tower faces East. An elongated room adjoins the front of the tower. Fake windows were sculpted on the northern wall, while real windows exist only on the southern one. The remaining southern lintel depicts the Buddha in the posture of meditation.
