Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park

The archaeological site extends across a rectangular area of 2,200 meters in length, containing numerous temples, stupas, and fortification walls built from laterite stone.

During the Sukhothai period in the 15th century, Kamphaeng Phet functioned as a military stronghold and religious center along the Ping River trading route.

The park contains Wat Phra Kaeo, a former royal temple that hosted significant ceremonies and features distinctive chedis adorned with lion and elephant sculptures.

Visitors can explore the extensive archaeological remains through designated pathways, with informational signs providing details about each structure in multiple languages.

The site preserves laterite constructions that demonstrate the architectural evolution from Sukhothai to Ayutthaya periods through religious monuments and city planning.
