After lunch, visit the Prasat Muang Singh Historical Park. Here we find traces of the Khmer Kingdom, once thriving, in one of the most well-known religious structures in Thailand. Historians estimate that Prasat Muang Singh, and its surrounding architectures on the banks of the Kwai Noi River, were built between 857 and 1157 as a religious temple of the Khmer kingdom. Later, the temple was abandoned until the reign of King Rama I when the Mueang Singh area became one of Kanchanaburi's border cities. However, the restoration of the structures was not completed until 1987. The main remaining structure is the Prasat Mueang Sing (the City of Lions Tower), an architecture in Khmer style with influences from the arts of Lop Buri.
