Mueang Phra Rot

Mueang Phra Rot is an archaeological site with foundations of old buildings, decorations, and pottery pieces scattered across a protected area near Na Phrathat. The structures show different building styles from different times, and when you visit, you can see how the foundations were laid out and what pieces remain intact.

The ruins date from the Ayutthaya Kingdom period, which thrived from the 14th until the 18th century before it fell in 1767. The site shows how settlements were organized during that era, before the region transformed after Ayutthaya's collapse.

The remains here show how people once lived and worshipped, through pottery and structures you can see scattered around. These findings help you understand the craftsmanship and building methods that were important to past communities.

You need your own transport to reach this remote location, as it sits far from regular tourist routes in the region. It makes sense to plan ahead and check that the site is accessible before you set out to visit.

The site reveals how building styles changed over time, with older and newer structures standing side by side. You can see this layering of development directly in the foundations and remains when you observe the different construction phases.
