Description: |
|
Only traces of the city wall remain to hint at the great expanse
of this thousand year-old ancient ruin. Avid travellers will see
similarities in its city walls to other ancient cities -
NakhonPathom, MuangSema of NakhonRatchasima and MuangPhaya Rae
of Chonburi. Founded in the Thawarawadi period between 457 and
957 AD, locals originally called it Ban Khok Mai Den Muang Bon,
borrowing its name from an indigenous tree. All that remains are
the city wall and artifacts, including a sculpture of the famed
elephant PhayaChattan.
The ancient site is 32 kilometers
from the city on the NakhonSawan-Bangkok route (Asian Highway).
Turn left into Khok Mai Den for three kilometers to arrive at
the ruins. |
