Dong Lakhon

Dong Lakhon was an ancient settlement on the eastern edge of the central Thai plain. An oval town enclosed by earthen banks and moats grew here in the Dvaravati period, with communities also living on the low ground outside its walls. Beads, pottery and Buddhist objects point to contacts with other centres in the region. Later remains show Khmer cultural influence. Rivers connected the settlement with the Bang Pakong basin and may once have provided access to maritime trade.

The later city of Chachoengsao lies here.
