Mueang Trai Trueng - Historic City Near Kamphaeng Phet With Drone Footage - Thailand 2024
Mueang Trai Trueng is a historical town located 18 kilometers south of old Kamphaeng Phet. It was built by King Chaisiri of Chiang Rai who fled invading enemy in 1542 B.E. (c. 999). Today, most of the structures are in disrepair with only ruins of chedis and ramparts.
According to historical records, Mueang Trai Trueng was an old city built in the reign of King Chaisiri King Chiang Rai, who had fled from the enemies in Chiang Rai to build this city.
The ancient town is situated on the west bank of the Ping River and dates to the Dvaravati period (6-11th century A.D.). A large number of Dvaravati objects such as glass beads, fragments of earthenware lamps and unglazed pottery were found on site. Especially the fragments of the lamps, being the same type as those mostly found in the Chao Phraya Basin suggest the prehistoric settlements of Kamphaeng Phet were located on an ancient route between the central plains and areas of the Hariphunchai.
Mueang Trai Trueng became a vassal to Sukhothai once that kingdom had become an independent Thai state in the middle of the thirteenth century. The city is said to be the home of the mother of King U-Thong. The princess was expelled from the city by her father, the King of Trai Trueng, after having married a commoner.
They both left the city and established Thep Nakhon in 1319 on the opposite side of the Ping River. In 1344, their son U-Thong became king
and established the capital of Ayudhya (Ayutthaya) in 1351.
The town is a significant historical site, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Thailand. Visitors can explore the ruins of the ancient city, including chedis and ramparts, and learn about the history and significance of Mueang Trai Trueng.
There isn’t much remaining of the former city. The ruins are surrounded by fields and it’s in a remote area. It is a nice site for history lovers to visit.
