A talking monument : Prasat Muang Singh

Some time during the 13th century, when our Khmer Empire ruled most parts of the present day Thailand, among many monuments throughout the Empire, Khmer ancestors built a beautiful Prasat called Muang Singh. The Khmer ruins of Muang Singh sits beside a river now named Khwae Noi.

Unbelievably this Khmer Prasat can talk. It talks better than some modern Thai historians do. It tells the world that Kanchnaburi or Kanchanak Borei was one of the Khmer Empire's provinces. This Province was the westernmost point of Khmer Empire, it borders with the current day Burma or Phumea in Khmer.


Did I hear that someone had moved this Prasat from Cambodia to Thailand's border with Burma?
