Mueang Sing historical park, Khmer temple complex in Kanchanaburi, Thailand
Mueang Sing Historical Park is a temple complex in Kanchanaburi Province near the Myanmar border along the Khwae Noi River. The site combines sandstone structures and a broad laterite wall that together form a walled enclosure.
The temple structures were built in the 13th and 14th centuries under King Jayavarman VII, a ruler from Angkor. The architecture follows the Bayon period style that was common in the Khmer empire at the time.
The archaeological site displays Hindu influences through its stone sculptures and architectural elements, particularly in the design of Prasat Muang Sing temple.
The park opens daily from eight in the morning until five in the evening and sits at the end of a short road from Sing village. The grounds are flat and allow for easy walking between the temples and along the old walls.
The Khwae Noi River forms the southern boundary of the grounds and once served as a natural protection for the complex. Today you can still see how the laterite wall follows the course of the river.
