Certainly, Dansai people was living among fascination scenery for along time. A long period of time brings a lot of history. Let me show you the evidence of ancient architecture, Srisongrak Pagoda.

In 2103 B.E. The kingdom of Ayutthaya and the kingdom of Lan Xang have made a treaty of alliance. They sent many monk, savant, and people from both kingdom to build a Lan Xang style pagoda (School of Lan Xang) to symbolize the collective beliefs of the people of both kingdoms. They named this pagoda Sisongrak, which means the love, the unity and the harmony of the two kingdoms. After this pagoda had emerged, People on this valley never encountered a war until the Ayutthaya Kingdom had fallen. Therefore, Srisongrak Pagoda is important evidence that Dansai was the peaceful land of the two major kingdoms in history. 

Ayutthaya and Lan Xang all collapsed but Dansai land had peace for along time. People still maintain a tradition of friendship and peace to this day. Thus, we called Dansai is the land and the truth for eternity.
