 Description:   Explore the trace of once-flourish Khmer Kingdom at one of best known Khmer-style religious structures in Thailand. Historians estimated that Prasat Mueang  Singh, and its surrounding architectures on the bank of Kwai Noi  River, was built between 857 and 1157 as a religious temple of Khmer Kingdom. Prasat Mueang  Singh was later abandoned until the reign of King Rama I when the area of Mueang  Singh had become one of border cities of Kanchanaburi. The restoration of structures hasn’t completed until 1987, though.

The main remaining structure is Prasat Mueang Sing (Tower of the City of Lions) itself, a Khmer-style architecture with influences from Lop Buri arts. It is framed by 800 x 1,500 meters city walls. During the excavations, historians found precious artifacts, antiques, pottery and religious ornaments with more than 2,000 years of history.

Opening hours: Open daily from 8 a.m.- 4.30 p.m.

Admission: 100 baht.
