Explore the history and civilization of Ma📍

#InsomniaExplore Kanchanaburi does not only have natural attractions. Today, Insomnia invites friends to explore the history and Khmer civilization at Muang Singh Historical Park, Kanchanaburi Province. Muang Singh Historical Park or Muang Singh Castle is an important historical tourist attraction in Kanchanaburi Province. It shows traces of Khmer civilization that still have historical and cultural value to this day. There is still debate about the history and background of Muang Singh Castle, which may have been the city of Sri Chai Sing Buri, according to the inscriptions during the reign of King Jayavarman VII, but there is no clear evidence. In addition, evidence has been found from excavations of many ancient sites and from inscriptions within the city, showing Khmer architecture and sculptures in the Bayon period, which indicates the artistic and religious importance of this place in history. However, it can be concluded that the ancient sites in Muang Singh were built around the 18th-19th Buddhist century, built according to Khmer beliefs. The architectural style is similar to Khmer art during the reign of King Jayavarman VII and mixed with local art. It is an ancient site in the Mahayana sect of Buddhism. Important religious icons include the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. Buddha statues with reclining Buddha and Nang Prajnaparamita, these three revered images are collectively called the Mahayana Triple Gem. Important historical sites in Muang Sing Historical Park include Historical Site No. 1 (main prang, covered gallery, gopura, library and wall), Historical Site No. 2 (main prang, 4 gopura), which is assumed to be an important religious site, Historical Site No. 3, which the Fine Arts Department assumes to be 2 chedis, and Historical Site No. 4. Muang Sing Historical Park is not only an important archaeological site, but also a tourist attraction for those interested in studying ancient history and art.
