"Ratchaburi […] a glorious town during the Dvaravati period, is located on the bank of the Mae Klong River. […] It is located 80 kilometres west of Bangkok and borders on Myanmar to the west having the Tanaosi Range as a borderline. […]
The 8 th -9 th century Wat Phra Si Rattana Maharat, or locally known as 'Wat Na Phra That', is located on the west bank of the Mae Klong River in town. Dating from the 15 th century, its elegant prang remains in good conditions and was probably modeled after the main prang of Cambodia's Angkor Wat. Inside the prang are murals from the 15 th century and partially restored stucco works"
