Ban Khu Mueang Ancient City

It is inside Rukka Chad Ku Muang park. It is located in Baan Kue Mueng, Tambon Huay Chan, approximately 23 kilometres from Amphoe Mueng.

It is located in Ban Khu Mueang, Tambon Huai Chan, within the Khu Mueang Arboretum, around 23 km. from the town of Sing Buri. Presumably, it was an ancient community in the Dvaravati period. The city plan is rectangular with curved corners, 650 metres wide, 750 metres long, and 1 metre high from the ground. There is a large mound and surrounding moat with earth banks. Many pieces of pottery were excavated here, such as crockery, pot, jar, kettle, etc. Others also found include coloured beads, earthenware lamps, a greenish stone wheel of the law, earrings, and silver coins inscribed with the word ‘Sri Dvaravati Svara Punya.’ The discoveries indicate the fact that this community has continued from the Funan Age to the Rattanakosin Era. At present, discovered artefacts have been maintained at the In Buri National Museum. Inside the present area of Mueang Boran Ban Khu Mueang lies an arboretum which covers an area of around 500 rai and has a surrounding ancient moat. It is shady and beautiful with various species of plants. For more information, please call 08 9900 1551.
