Stroll Around Muang Khu Bua Ancient Ruin

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 - 11th centuries and it is a reminder of how rich in history Ratchaburi is. It has been declared a World Heritage Site since 1962.

Unfortunately, only the base of what is considered to be one of the largest pagodas at the time was only second to Phra Pathom Chedi in Nakhon Pathom, is left standing but you can still stroll 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 decorations. Within the market, you will find local people dressed in traditional dresses, selling street food, and snacks as well as handicrafts products.
