From the junction to the right of<br />

the road heading towards Than Sadet<br />

Waterfall stands a group of ancient<br />

buildings where a statue of King<br />

Chulalongkorn is located. Nearby is a<br />

rock with the inscription of royal initials<br />

in Thai alphabets and numerals ‘จปร<br />

108’. Adjacent are some plantations.<br />

Opposite the stream stands a rock<br />

inscribed with royal initials and years<br />

in Rattankosin era ‘ปปร 2469, 2471’.<br />

Walking further down the path, visitors<br />

will find the second group of ancient<br />

buildings on the right-hand side. Here,<br />

more royal initials ‘วปร 130’ and<br />

another ‘จปร’ with the year of visit are found, followed by ‘ปปร, รพ<br />

2469’. Walking past the national park office will lead to the third<br />

group of ancient buildings where royal initials are found on both sides<br />

of the stream including ‘รพ’ and ‘ภปร’ 23 April 1962, as well as the<br />

name ‘Than Sadet’ in Thai which he had it inscribed when coming here<br />

in 1889. Close to the mouth of the stream stands the last group of<br />

ancient buildings. Royal initials of the three mentioned kings and an<br />

old pavilion where they used to stay appear on the left-hand side.<br />
