Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park - North Complex - World Heritage Site Thailand 2023

Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park is an archeological site in Kamphaeng Phet, Thailand. Along with Sukhothai Historical Park and Si Satchanalai historical park, it is a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Town of Sukhothai and Associated Historic Towns.

Major features in the Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park include archaeological remains of ancient sites such as Mueang Chakangrao to the east of the Ping River, Mueang Nakhon Chum to the west and Mueang Trai Trueng some 18 km from the town to the southwest.

Chakangrao, the ancient Kamphaeng Phet town, had the same town planning concept as the old Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai, with separate zones for religious sites both within and outside of town limits. Structures are usually large and made of laterite. Religious sites on the west bank of the Ping River at Nakhon Chum are built of bricks and of smaller size.

City walls and old fortifications mark the boundary of the rectangular town area, measuring 300-700 meters wide and 2,200 meters long.

The main highlights of the north section are;

Wat Phra Si Iriyabot (วัดพระสี่อิริยาบถ)

Wat Phra Sing (วัดพระสิงห์)

Wat Chang Rop (also "Rob") (วัดช้างรอบ)

Wat Phra Non (วัดพระนอน)

Wat Singh (วัดสิงห์)

The section to the south of here is also a must see. It features 2 large temples along with the museum.
