it was built in the 16th-17th Buddhist century.
Moreover, this Khmer Ruins is special as it houses solar calendar,
cube-shape rock, in its stupa. The ancient people used it for indicating position
of the sun to indicate date for religious rites and agricultural seasons

It is where many waterways converge and is also a major agricultural and fishery centre

there is Sa Phang Thong, an ancient pool believed to have been constructed
at the same time as Phra That Choeng Chum
