Narration Transcript

So this temple is literally in the middle of nowhere but you’ll see a big billboard pointing you in the direction of this temple on the way to War Pho Sri Nai from the Ban Chiang Museum. You’ll see a billboard however whenever you need to make a turn so you really can’t miss it. If you’re the area already, I recommend you make the short detour to see it.


Thanks again guys for checking out our vlog. I also want to thank all the people who have been commenting lately as it’s really fun for me to finally talk to people who have been watching my vlogs on a regular basis. I’ve also put out an additional vlog Wednesday of Chinese New Years in Bangkok so I hope you enjoy it as well and I’ll see you guys next Saturday as usual with more vlogs about living and traveling in Asia.

Ban Chiang - Thailand

The Ban Chiang Archaeological Site is a large, prehistoric earthen mound located in an agricultural area in the Ban Chiang Sub-district, Nong Han District of Udon Thani Province in northeast Thailand, within the watershed of the Mekong River. It is an oval-shaped mound formed by human habitation 500 meters x 1,350 meters and 8 meters high. The site was first discovered in 1966. It has since been extensively excavated and its remains studied by Thai and international scholars. Since 1966 the dating of the site has been adjusted and refined over time in line with advances in the understanding and techniques of radiometric dating. This research has revealed that the site dates from 1,495 BC .and contains early evidence for settled agrarian occupation in Southeast Asia, along with evidence of wet rice agriculture, associated technological complex of domesticated farm animals, ceramic manufacture, and bronze tool-making technology. The total area of the property is 67.36 ha of which approximately 0.09% has been excavated (as of 2012)

Ban Chiang Archaeological Site udonthani Thailand

Ban Chiang is considered one of the most significant archaeological sites in Southeast Asia and was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1992. Excavations at a large, oval mound at the site uncovered pre-historic artifacts, especially pottery and bronze implements. Since the discovery of the site in 1966, the dating of Ban Chiang artifacts has been adjusted and refined over time in line with advances in the understanding and techniques of radiometric dating. This research has revealed that the site dates to as early as 3,500 years ago and that the site was continuously occupied for at least 2,000 years. The discoveries at the site, from both Neolithic and Bronze Age civilizations, have shown it has long been a habitation and burial site.

Research at Ban Chiang has greatly enhanced understanding of the early history of what is now Thailand. According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Ban Chiang is considered the most important prehistoric settlement so far discovered in Southeast Asia. The site shows an important stage in human cultural, social and technological evolution, with some of the earliest evidence of wet-rice agriculture and domestication of cattle, pigs and chickens in the region as well as early examples of the manufacture and use of metals. Many of these artifacts and the stories behind them are on display at Ban Chiang National Museum.
Bronze Age civilisations, excavations at Ban Chiang have revealed hundreds of human burial sites alongside a breathtaking trove of ceramics and other artifacts dating as far back as 5,600 years ago. The village’s fantastic museums shed light on this ancient community and its re-emergence at one of Southeast Asia’s most significant archaeological sites.

Museum at Ban Chiang UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ban Chiang, Thailand

Udon Thani province

Udon Thani อุดรธานี - UNESCO World Heritage Centre At Ban Chiang

The museum is open to the general public every day, except Mondays and Tuesdays, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Ban Chiang was the centre of a remarkable phenomenon of human cultural, social, and technological evolution in the 5th millennium BC, which occurred independently in this area of south-east Asia and spread widely over the whole region. It is without question the most important prehistoric settlement so far discovered in south-east Asia. It presents the earliest evidence for true farming in the region and for the manufacture and use of metals: its long cultural sequence, size and economic status has no parallel in any other contemporary site in the region.
Recent archaeological work at Nok Nok Tha and, later, Ban Chiang on the Khorat plateau of north-east Thailand has demonstrated that in south-east Asia prehistory was culturally backward. This area of modern Thailand has been shown by excavation and field survey to have been the centre of a cultural development in the 4th millennium BC that was an independent from China to the north and India to the west over much of south-east Asia and beyond into the Indonesian archipelago.
Settlement of the Khorat plateau began around 3600 BC. The settlers came from the neighbouring lowlands, bringing with them a hunter-gatherer economy that was beginning to develop sedentary farming, with domesticated cattle, pigs, and chickens and an elementary form of dry-rice cultivation. The settled village life of this Early Period at Ban Chiang lasted until around 1000 BC. Agricultural methods were refined and improved, along with other skills such as house construction and pottery manufacture. The equipment of burials reflects an increasing social complexity.
The Middle Period (1000-500/300 BC) was notable for the introduction of wet-rice farming, as evidenced by the presence of water buffalo bones, and technological developments in ceramic and metal production. It was a time of considerable prosperity, as shown by the grave-goods, and one which saw the introduction of iron into common use.
Although occupation appears to have ended at Ban Chiang in the 3rd century AD, while continuing at other sites in the region, Ban Chiang is considered to have been the principal settlement in this area of the Khorat plateau and has given its name to a distinctive archaeological culture. The prehistoric settlement, a low oval mound established by Laotian refugees in the late 8th century, lies beneath the modern village of Ban Chiang. Only very limited excavation has been possible in the settlement site, but this has established the existence of deep stratification and long cultural continuity.
The main excavations have taken place on the perimeter of the modern village, where a large number of burials from all three periods, with rich ceramic and metal grave-goods, have been revealed and recorded. One of the excavations has been preserved for public viewing, with a permanent cover building: there is an excellent site museum in another part of the village.

Ban Chiang Museum & and Archaeological Site udonthani

Ban Chiang Museum & and Archaeological Site. The Archaeological Site at Ban Chiang was nominated as a World Heritage Site in December 1992. It is located about 600m further east from the museum at Wat Pho Si Nai. This is the original display of ancient burial grounds that were discovered. It is a small building with little information provided.

An archaeological discovery at Ban Chiang is important to study the history of human settlement in Issan and Thailand in general. It was following the visit of the King and Queen of Thailand in 1972 that the Ban Chiang museum project was born to enhance education.

It was 5000 years ago that the first humans roamed the hill in Ban Chiang. Life was predominantly occupied with survival by hunting wild animals, farming and making lots of pottery. Some 1000 years later they began to make use of bronze casting techniques and another 1200 further on, began making tools with iron.

Udon Thani: Ban Chiang World Heritage Site

Host (Intro):
Udon Thani is a major transportation hub in the northeast of Thailand and many pass through on their way to other destinations, without stopping to explore the region itself. For us this is a big mistake as Udon Thani and its surrounding area offer a treasure trove of underrated yet fascinating attractions, just waiting to be explored. Chief among these is Ban Chiang – an area of such significance that it has been made a UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of only five such sites in Thailand.

Ban Chiang, a Mysterious Advanced Civilization - Thailand 4K Travel Channel

We are on the way from the Red Lotus Lake to Ban Chiang, a prehistoric archaeological site of a mysterious advanced civilization. Along the way, we meet a larger group of people, equipped with brush cutter, rake, and broom. They work along the road. We learn that once a year, the entire village takes action to clear the waste away and to take care of the roadsides.
Shortly thereafter we pass a temple, with many small Chedis in front of it. The people keep a part of the ashes of their deceased at home and another part in these Chedis in the temple.
Passing a dried-out pond, our guide tells us that you one produces salt here. Because in the past, there was obviously an iodine deficiency in the population.
A large number of sales booths with clay jugs suggest that we approach the National Museum.
For a long time, it was thought that the region was settled only about 200 years ago from Laos. In 1966, Steve Young, the son of the former U.S Ambassador to Thailand, heard about ceramic, bone, and bronze finds in this area. He informed archaeologists in Bangkok who carried out an excavation.
The latest age determinations prove that the first settlements took place around 3500 years ago. The bronze production started here about 3000 years ago. The most recent archaeological finds date back to the 5th century AD, making this site one of the oldest and most important testimonies of a very advanced civilization Southeast Asia. Since 1992, Ban Chiang is on UNESCO world heritage list.
The Ban Chiang National Museum has different departments. It documents not only the finds but also the history of the excavations and the way of life of the population.
Various scenes are presented in a life-size manner. Also, a large number of ceramic vessels and bronze objects such as arm rings, bells, clasps etc. can be seen.

Wir sind auf dem Weg vom See der roten Lotusblüten nach Ban Chiang, dem prähistorischen Fundort einer rätselhaften Hochkultur.
Unterwegs treffen wir eine größere Gruppe Menschen, ausgerüstet mit Freischneider, Rechen und Besen. Sie arbeiten entlang der Straße. Wir erfahren, dass das gesamte Dorf einmal jährlich eine Aktion zur Beseitigung des Abfalls und zur Pflege der Straßenränder durchführt.
Kurz darauf passieren wir eine Tempel, vor dem eine Vielzahl kleiner Chedis aufgestellt sind. Hier lernen wir, dass ein Teil der Asche von Verstorbenen zu Hause aufbewahrt wird und ein anderer Teil im Tempel in diesen Chedis.
Als wir einen ausgetrockneten Teich passieren, erklärt uns unser Führer, dass man hier Salz gewinnt. Offensichtlich hatte man in der Vergangenheit bei der Bevölkerung einen Jodmangel festgestellt.
Eine Vielzahl von Verkaufsständen mit Tonkrügen deuten an, dass wir uns dem Nationalmuseum nähern.
Lange Zeit dachte man, dass die Region erst vor ca. 200 Jahren von Laos aus besiedelt wurde. 1966 erfuhr Steve Young, der Sohn des ehemaligen US-amerikanischen Botschafters in Thailand, von Keramik-, Knochen- und Bronze- Funden in dieser Gegend. Er informierte Archäologen in Bangkok, die eine Grabung starteten.
Neueste Datierung zeigen, dass die ersten Besiedlungen vor rund 3500 Jahren stattfanden. Die Bronzeerzeugung startete hier vor ca. 3000 Jahren. Die jüngsten Funden stammen aus dem 5. Jahrhundert n. Chr. Damit zählt diese Fundstätte zu den ältesten und bedeutendsten Zeugnissen einer Hochkultur in Südostasien. 1992 wurde Ban Chiang von der UNESCO als Weltkulturerbe anerkannt.
Das Ban Chiang National Museum ist in verschiedene Abteilungen gegliedert und dokumentiert nicht nur die Fundstücke, sondern auch die Ausgrabungsgeschichte und die Lebensweise der Bevölkerung.
Anschaulich werden verschiedene Szenen lebensgroß dargestellt. Daneben sind eine Vielzahl von Keramikgefäßen und Bronzegegenstände wie Armringe, Glocken, Spangen, etc. zu sehen.

Ban Chiang Archaeological Site - UNESCO World Heritage Site

Ban Chiang is a fascinating and unusual UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in Udon Thani province in north-east Thailand, Ban Chiang completely changed the accepted pre-history of South-East Asia. Pottery and burials were discovered here in the 1960s, showing that a flourishing Bronze Age community existed on the site as early as 3000 BC - far earlier than previously believed. And interestingly, the pottery is absolutely beautiful! Let's check it out.

Udon Thani's World Class Archaeological Site

Just a 50 minute flight from Bangkok to Udon Thani we find our way to take a look at the Ban Chiang National Museum. The museum is situated right next to the peaceful Bueng Na Kham reservoir. Now as museums go, Ban Chiang is certainly of a world class standard. It has been open to the public since 1981, and underwent a major renovation in 2006..
After a most informative morning it was time to head to another highlight in the region, Wat Pha Phu Kon.. the magnificent temple in the mountain.
