Ancient Quarry in Si Khio (Seekiew and various other spellings, in Thai แหล่งโบราณหินตัดสีคิ้ว làeng boh-raan hĭn dtàt sĕe-kíw) is on the Eastern side (southbound) of Mittraphap road (highway 2) between km 99 and 100.
Hwy 2 passes very close to the site, the car in the background is on hwy 2.
The site was used as a quarry during the Khmer empire and abandoned for unknown reasons.
There is a parking place and a visitor center with information boards in Thai and English.
