Wang Pho

Wang Pho lies in the wooded valley of the Khwae Noi in western Thailand. The river winds between limestone hills on its way towards the Mae Klong, through a region of old settlements and mountain passes. Archaeological remains along the Khwae Noi and neighbouring rivers include objects associated with the Dvaravati period. In the Ayutthaya era the wider Kanchanaburi region was a frontier facing Burma, with passes through the mountains providing routes for armies as well as travellers.
