A mini Angkor Wat in Thailand's far western province of Kanchanaburi - Muang Singh Historical Park
One of the most fun and easiest ways to travel in Kanchanaburi is by train. The railway goes through picturesque landscapes and links several attractions, including Muang Singh Historical Park which is less than an hour and a half from the River Kwae Bridge station right in town. Muang Singh marked the western border of the Khmer kingdom in Thailand. It shows that when the kingdom was at the highest point of its power, it stretched far to the west, as far as to what would be Kanchanaburi today.

Kanchanaburi Province, Muang Singh Historical Park in Sai Yok District, Thailand. ( 77 )
In the province of Kanchanaburi in the district of Sai Yok you will discover Muang Singh historical park marked the Western border of the Khmer in Thailand. At the height of its power, the vast Khmer empire stretched out all the way West to deep into present day Kanchanaburi province in the Western part of Thailand. Besides being a temple dedicated to the Hindu God Shiva, Prasat Muang Singh and surrounding town most likely served as a military stronghold, to defend the Khmer empire from attacks from the West. Muang Singh, meaning Lion city, is completely surrounded by a laterite wall. The Kwae Noi river runs along the South end of the complex. The main temple that stands in the centre of the complex was built between the 12th and 14th century in Bayon style, named after the Bayon temple in Angkor that was built around the same time.
In Khmer temple architecture, the central prang (Khmer style tower) in the inner sanctuary represents Mount Meru, the centre of the universe in Hindu belief. The central prang enshrines the linga, the sacred symbol symbolizing the power of Shiva. Of another large temple, only the foundation remains. The historical park contains two other, smaller Khmer structures. During the reign of King Rama I, the first King of the Rattanakosin era at the end of the 18th century, Muang Singh acted as a stronghold to protect the Kingdom from invasion from the West. In 1974 the Thai Fine Arts Department started renovation of Muang Singh, that was mostly covered by soil and overgrown by vegetation by then. After completion of the renovation in 1987, Prasat Muang Singh was made into a national historical park. Although Muang Singh is not nearly as impressive as well preserved as other Khmer temples like Phimai or Phanom Rung, it is well worth a visit. The historical park is set in a very attractive, relaxed setting with forests and the Kwae Noi river running past it. There is a small museum that exhibits several artefacts discovered at the site, including several Buddha images.
There are 4 mains groups of ruins and only the main buildings and some smaller buildings are fully visible. Prasat Muang Singh is the main shrine and the central focal point of the site. The site is though littered with smaller shrines containing various artefacts (some reproductions) and there a couple of museums. The museums provide evidence of the area's inhabitation before the arrival of the Khmer and examples of bronze utensils and tools dating from the Neolithic era. This is a great place to wander around - the grounds are tidy and attractive with trees and flowers, and although there are restaurants and stalls, the site has a very authentic, non-commercial feel about it - worth a visit.
Details: The site is open 08:00 a.m. - 04:30 p.m. Daily and admission is 40 Baht.
Tel: +66 3458 5052 to 3, +66 3451 1200, +66 6451 2500
How to get there: You can get to the site by train. The journey takes an hour and the fare is 10 Baht. Trains leave at 06:10 a.m., 10:54 a.m. and 02:25 p.m. and you should head to Tha Kilen. You will probably be best taking a Tuk-Tuk from the station to the site.

I've lived here since 2011, in a small village. What I am presenting for your viewing is Life, away from the cities, the tourist traps, the bars and easy girls (or ladyboys even), the influences from western culture, like skyscrapers, Macdonalds, and KFC. I bring you the sights and sounds that farangs (which is what Thais call any foreigner) never experience.
After all the time I have lived here, I call them farangs, too. Because my wife and I have become a part of this village, where everybody knows us, and we know everybody.
This is the Real Thailand.
