Description: |
|
Situated about 24 kilometers north away from Nakhon Pathom
downtown, Ancient City of Kamphaeng Saen can be dated back to
the Dvaravati period and is assumed be as old as Mueang Nakhon
Chaisi, but smaller in size. It is believed to have been
constructed by Nakhon Chaisi’s former rulers to control a
trading route along canals and rivers to promote the town as a
seaport-trading centre. The development as well as the
deterioration of the two towns must have been almost at the same
time.
The interesting attractions of Ancient City of Kamphaeng Saen
include unchanged ditches and earth dikes surrounding the
ditches. Within the Ancient City area, small earthern mounds,
ponds, and large trees are homes to various kinds of birds. At
present, the site is used as a Boy Scout’s camp.
