Wiang Tha Kan, Archaeological site in Ban Klang, Thailand.

The historical site spans a rectangular area of 500 by 700 meters, featuring double earthen walls, a moat, and remains of 22 temple structures.

Established during the Mon Kingdom Hariphunchai period between 750 and 1282, this settlement preceded the creation of Wiang Kum Kam by King Mangrai.

Excavations in the 1980s revealed numerous artifacts including terracotta pottery, bronze Buddha images, and ancient skeletons that reflect regional traditions.

The visitor center provides information about the archaeological findings before guests explore the temple ruins, including the extensive Wat Klang Wiang complex.

Five temple structures within Wat Klang Wiang maintain their original towers, presenting tangible evidence of architectural methods from the Lanna period.
