| Old Court and City Hall
Old Court and City Hall These two European
style buildings are located on Wilaichit Road by the
Chao Phraya River in the town. Both are constructed
at the same period, some 90 years ago during the reign
of King Rama V. They are still in perfect condition.
Wat Na Phrathat
Wat Na Phrathat This temple, first
called “Wat Hua Mueang” by the villagers, is located
1 km. west of Wat Phra Non Chaksi. It houses an ancient
brick pagoda which was built during the ancient Khmer’s
glory. The pagoda was later renovated during the early
Ayutthaya period. This area is assumed to have been
the ancient site of Sing Buri.
Wat Phra Non Chaksi
Wat Phra Non Chaksi This temple
is 4 kms. south of the town along the Sing Buri-Suphan
Buri route. It houses a huge Sukhothai-style reclining
Buddha image, which is revered by the local people and
renowned for its large size, almost 46 metres long.
Wat Sawang Arom
Wat Sawang Arom This temple is situated
in the town. It is a centre for Buddha image sculpture.

School in Thon Buri. A collection of 300 Nang Yai or
shadow play figures at this temple is considered the
most complete in Thailand.
