Near the Ban Chiang Archaeological Site is the Wat Pho Sri Nai excavation pit. No less significant this site is within the grounds of a temple with that name which may account for the excellent preservation of the site. The small visitor centre charges a modest entrance fee. From what has survived at Ban Chiang an amazing link in the story of human civilisation has been put in place. How much more we may have learnt from what had disappeared from the site before its protection one can only wonder.
