and subdue the Thai people. They raped, pillaged and burnt people's houses. The incident the Sing Buri people angry. They began
to organize a group of local militia which was later known as Bang Rachan Fort. They had fought with the Burmese invaders eight
times before they were finally defeated. Although the village was entirely destroyed, the unwavering courage of the villagers is one
of the greatest heroic deeds recorded in Thai history.
