Point of Interest : a point of interest is a specific point location that audience may find useful or interesting.

The Prasat Muang Sing is a Khmer Temple dating from the end of the 12th century, the beginning of the 13th century, built during the reign of Jayavarman VII, in the style of Bayon. It is the most westerly Khmer temple known to date. It is located approximately 45 kilometers from Kanchanaburi, Thailand.

The modern name means Sanctuary of the City of the Lion, and this name is most likely the original one (an inscription on the Preah Khan stele at Angkor, which is still in place, mentions Srijayasimhaipura (City of the Victorious Lion) as one of the sites to which Jayavarman VII sent a statue of Jayabuddhamahanatha.

The importance of Muang Sing comes from its strategic position, on the road to the Three Pagodas Pass that leads to Burma. It was most certainly a garrison town to guard and protect the western border of the Khmer Empire, but it was also an important trading center.
