Archaeological excavations have also uncovered iron tools, ornaments, bracelets, and beads. These findings suggest that the settlement had a developed culture and technological advancement during the late prehistoric period. The artifacts further demonstrate social complexity and cultural identity within the community.

 

Although the site is not a large commercial tourist attraction, it holds significant academic and cultural value. It is ideal for travelers interested in archaeology, ancient history, and cultural exploration, offering a deeper understanding of early human settlements in central Thailand.
