Kamphaeng Phet Fortifications - Thung Seithi Fort and More - Thailand 2023
In the glory days of the Suthothai Kingdom (mid 13th to mid 15th century), the Kingdom of Siam was centred on what is now central Thailand. Today this region is rural with the main activity cultivating rice. At that time the city of Kamphaeng Phet was an important city in the Sukhothai Kingdom. Kamphaeng guarded the south west approach to the capital city, and guarding the city was Thung Seithi Fort, located on the western approach to city of Kamphaeng Phet. The main enemy at that time was the Kingdom of Burma. The two kingdoms regularly fought over territory and workers.
The fort is now abandoned, but is in good repair. Surrounding the fort were various buildings, templed whose foundations stones have survived and less socially prestigious constructs made from more humble wood. The fort is 6 meters high, and 80 meters long, made with hard laterite. The remains of a moat can be seen around the fort.
In addition to the outside fort were other defensive positions. The city was guarded by a huge wall with fortifications inside and outside the perimeter. Modern warfare has changed but it’s fun to get a glimpse into how cities and people defended themselves in this bygone era.
