Travel Destinations - Prachinburi Province
Prachinburi used to be a very prosperous
town with beautiful waterfalls and canals which are very popular
among nature adventurers.
In the old days, Prachinburi had a long history of civilization
of about 800 years ago, since the Dvaravati period. The ruined
town of “Mueang Si Mahosot” at Tambon Khokpip, Amphoe Mahosot
was discovered. At Ban Khok Kwang, Amphoe Si Mahosot, east
to Mueang Si Mahosot, there was an ancient community at the
same period as Muang Si Mahosot.
Through the traces of the ancient towns, there were discoveries
of historical venues that were used for religious purposes
and historic materials such as Buddha images, earthenwares,
and pottery. It was also recorded that the center of civilization
has been moved to the present coast of the Bang Pakong River.
There were many administration alterations, from town to Monthon,
and Changwat (Province) at present.
