Visit Wiang Kum Kam

#Chiang Mai Travel Wiang Kum Kam..The former capital of the Lanna Kingdom 📍..Currently located in Tambon Tha Wang Tan, Saraphi District, Chiang Mai Province, approximately 5 kilometers southeast of Chiang Mai City 🗒️..According to excavation evidence, King Mangrai ordered its construction in 1829 by ordering the digging of moats on all 4 sides to release the Ping River to be trapped in the ancient city moat that appears in Wiang Kum Kam and nearby. It was an experimental city built before becoming Chiang Mai City. ..But the Ping River changed direction, causing Wiang Kum Kam to be submerged and flooded with mud and sediment, making it an underground city.
