| Prachin Buri used to be a very prosperous
town with beautiful waterfalls and canals which are very
popular among nature adventurers.
In the old days, Prachin Buri 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.
