Mueng Bang Yom

Mueng Bang Yom lies on the Yom River plain between Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai. The surrounding lowlands were part of a landscape of towns, fields and waterways at the heart of the Sukhothai realm. Nearby Bang Khlang appears in inscriptions describing the alliance of Pha Mueang and Bang Klang Hao against the Khmer governor of Sukhothai. The Yom linked the settlements of this fertile valley with the river system leading south to the Chao Phraya.
