About Mueang Sing Historical Park
Mueang Sing is a walled Khmer-period town and temple complex beside the Khwae Noi River in Sai Yok district. Most people think of Khmer temples as an Isan thing, so finding one this far west is a surprise. The laterite sanctuaries are usually dated to the late 12th or early 13th century and were Mahayana Buddhist. You can still follow the walls that enclosed the town. It became a historical park in 1987. The style tells you Khmer builders or ideas reached this valley, but it doesn't tell you who ruled here.
