About The Ancient Town of Si Thep
Recently inscribed, Si Thep preserves the remains of an important town of the Dvaravati culture that flourished over a millennium ago in central Thailand. Twin moated enclosures hold brick stupas and temple foundations blending Indian, Mon and Khmer influences, set in quiet countryside — a fascinating and little-visited window into early Southeast Asian civilisation.
