Dvaravati period
During the first millennium several Mon principalities had joined together into a loose federation of states called the “Dvaravati Empire”.
Art historians assumed that the artistic Mon period reached its height in the eighth and ninth century. Remains of architectural evidences are only found - with a few exceptions - in Lamphun (Wat Kukut) and Kanchanaburi. They indicate that the buildings constructed in Mon style were built completely according to the tradition of Indian temples. Basic geometric forms and exact lines dominated. |  |
