Bueng Wang The nation needs to have "laws" enacted to control the rules of society to operate in order and peace. Laws are criminals of the country as a tool for parents to punish.

Violators of the rules of society in ancient Thailand. "Laws" are daunting regulations that are used to control the people from violating the peace of society. It is a terrifying punishment for the people. In the old days before trial or innocence, there were several methods such as proof by eating. water proof heat proof, etc.

At Lan Dok Mai Tok Subdistrict Kosamphi Nakhon District Kamphaeng Phet Province has a large pond about a hundred meters wide and over a thousand meters long parallel to the Ping River near the city of Nakhon Chum. Contact with Songtham Subdistrict, Mueang District, Kamphaeng Phet Province. Villagers tell each other that in the past, around the Sukhothai period, it was used as a place for the trial of the accused. The villagers call it the diving pond, some diving and some diving. or Wang Wang diving, some diving in front of the diving palace.

There is a shrine or important point of worship before making a judgment by diving. There is a jetty for diving to consider the case after there is not enough evidence and information to judge the parties, so the last method is the way to judge the case by diving. The first step starts with making sacrifices. Then let the accused go into the water. and let the head dive Whoever comes up first will lose the case and will be punished.

But whoever comes out of the water later will be innocent, not guilty. which is a way of using human supernatural powers to judge Which is believed in the use of sacred things to judge each other It is considered one of the tactics of the trials of Thailand in the past.

At present, Bueng Wang Dam is a historical, archaeological and legal tourist attraction that deserves to be preserved as another cultural attraction because it has a history and a clear origin that represents Kamphaeng Phet's long history. If you are interested in going to visit the diving pond, please contact Mrs. Sinbodi Rat, Village Headman, Village No. 1, Lan Dok Mai Tok Subdistrict, Kosamphi District, Kamphaeng Phet Province. You will be very impressed.
