Muang Khu Bua Traditional Weekend Market, Ancient Ruin & Museum - Ratchaburi 2023
Muang Khu Bua Ancient Ruin is an ancient remnant of the once prosperous capital city of the Dvaravati Kingdom that reigned the area from the 6th to the 11th centuries and it is a reminder of how rich in history Ratchaburi is.
Unfortunately, only the base of what is considered to be one of the largest pagodas at the time that was only second to Phra Pathom Chedi in Nakhon Pathom, is left standing but you can still walk around and visit the weekend market that surrounded the ruin.
Muang Khu Bua market is probably one of the most colorful markets you will see in Ratchaburi. The market is decorated with colorful lanterns, umbrellas, and all kinds of colorful decors. Within the market, you will find local people dressed in traditional dresses, selling street food, and snacks as well as handicrafts products.
If you are planning to visit the ancient ruin as well as the market, be sure to be there either on a Saturday or Sunday as the market only opens on the weekend.
There is also a nice local museum featuring items from the area as well as artifacts that have been recovered from the ruins.
The modern Wat Thong is also next to the market and you can look at the big Buddha or the modern temple after visiting the market.
The market is overshadowed by the more famous floating markets or the train market but it’s worth a visit if you have time. The ruins and museum are an added bonus and you can see a bit of the history of the region that most people don’t know anything about.
Enjoy the video!
