U Thong museum in Suphanburi province houses an impressive collection of Dvaravati art. The city was an important centre of Dvaravati culture and the items on display were found locally.
This area of Central Thailand has numerous, large reclining Buddha images. A particularly large one is found at Wat Khun Inth(r)a Pramun, Ang Thong province. According to some sources, this is the largest reclining Buddha Image in Thailand.
In Singburi, close to the grounds of Wat Phra Praang, we find possible the largest kiln of South East Asia. Ceramics were mass produced here, and a total of 200 kilns have been found. Some were destroyed, others are still being excavated. Production occurred contemporarily with production of some better known centers during the Sukhothai area.
