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.
