Prasat Muang Singh

Prasat Muang Singh is an important historical park of Kanchanaburi, and Thailand. It was built for more than 800 years, so not only is this place a great attraction for visitors to see spectacular ancient city in Kanchanaburi, but it is also a great place for those who would like to learn more about old architecture from Khmer period. Prasat Muang Singh is located in Sai Yok District, which is not so far away from the city of Kanchanaburi.

Prasat Muang Singh is built in square shape area, on the right side of Kwai Noi River. It covers an area of about 220 acres. The wall surrounded was built with laterite, 880 meters. There are three gates – northern gate, eastern gate and western gate (The southern one faces to the river, so it doesn’t need the gate on that side).

In the historical park, there are two major sections for visitors to look around. One of the section is artifact museum, which is a place to keep old objects found in the historical park. The objects are also exhibited for visitors to educate how these objects were built and decorated in the past; 2000 year old skeletons found here are also included in the list of objects shown. The other section is ancient ruin, which are the real buildings and structures in the historical park. In this section, visitors can walk around to see cloister in Khmer style, the deity statue having 8 arms and hands (broken) and many things interesting in Khmer style.
