Chum
Phae Ancient Town
This ancient town is one of the foremost Dvaravati archeological
sites in Khon Kaen and discoveries of Bronze tools dating back
3000 years, have fueled debate among archaeologists and historians
concerning the dates of the 'Bronze Age' in the region. Known
locally as Non Muang, this ancient town was populated from prehistoric
times until at least the 10th century AD. Boundary stone, three
Dvaravati objects, potsherds, bronze and animal bone bracelets,
shell and color rock bead have been unearthed in this area,
in addition to prehistoric human skeletal remains.
Easily accessible, the ancient town is situated 85 km from Khon
Kaen, along the Khon Kaen - Chum Phae Highway.
