Prasat Muang Singh Historical Park

Prasat Muang Singh Historical Park: A cultural highlight not far from the city centre, this popular archaeological site features four 13th-Century Khmer-style ruins and an ancient human burial site. The main ruin is an ancient temple, built from laterite stones and set on a rectangular base, with a corn-shaped prang standing at its epicentre. Four cloister walls and four entrance gates with stone-carved lintels surround the temple. Archaeological evidence suggests heavy Khmer influences in the area and that the temple was built as a place of worship for Mahayana Buddhists. Strolling around the grounds of Prasat Muang Singh can be extremely hot, as there are few shaded areas where you can take a rest. However you can rent a bicycle and explore the ruin site on two wheels. Enjoy the beautiful panoramas of the Kwae Noi River from the front of the temple.
