Touring the monuments to Thailand's past will take 
the traveller to all parts of the country. Just a short 
distance west of Bangkok, for example, stands Phra 
Pathom Chedi, the 
world's tallest Buddhist 
monument. Travel a little further west and an episode 
of more recent history is recalled at Kachanaburi, site 
of the infamous bridge over the River Kwai. In 
contrast, north -east Thailand offers a glimpse of the 
ancient Khmer civilisation with a number of 
extremely well -preserved temple ruins, which rank 
as the finest surviving Khmer monuments to be seen 
outside of Cambodia. Elsewhere, ancient cities and 
venerable temples bear witness to the kingdom of 
Lanna, founded in the late 13th century in northern 
Thaaand, while in the south traces of the Srivajaya 
kingdom survive as testament to one of the most 
influential of the pre -Thai civilisations.
