Mueang Fa Daet

The archaeological complex spans 1.67 square kilometers along the Pao River, featuring three concentric moats and multiple Buddhist structures.

Founded in 621 CE by Chao Fa Ra-ngum, the site developed into a major Buddhist center during the Dvaravati period from the 7th to 11th centuries.

The site contains 14 brick stupa bases and numerous sema stones with religious narratives that demonstrate the strong Buddhist influence in ancient Thai society.

The Fine Arts Department maintains this open archaeological site without entrance fees, allowing visitors to examine ancient structures and burial grounds.

Excavations revealed both primary and secondary jar burials containing pottery, iron implements, and ornamental items from different historical periods.
