Phanthai Norasing Historical Park is located in Phanthai Norasing Subdistrict, at the place where the incident of the broken prow of the royal barge of King Suea occurred. It was built as a memorial to Phanthai Norasing, a villager from Narasing (currently Pa Mok District, Ang Thong Province), who served as the helmsman of the royal barge Ekkachai of King Sanphet VIII (King Suea) of Ayutthaya. When the royal barge reached Khlong Khok Kham, the canal was very winding, causing the prow of the barge to hit a large tree branch on the bank of Khlong Khok Kham, causing the prow of the barge to break and fall into the water. Phanthai Norasing asked King Suea to execute him according to the Palace Law.  King Suea reluctantly followed the royal decree, so he ordered the execution of Phanthai Norasing, and had a shrine built as high as his eyes. His head and the broken prow of the royal barge Ekkachai were placed as a sacrifice on the shrine as a memorial to show his loyalty and devotion. Inside the park is the Phanthai Norasing Shrine. Later, the Fine Arts Department built a new shrine to replace the old one that had collapsed. Inside the shrine is a life-size statue of Phan Thaksin, who is seen steering a boat and is highly revered by the locals.
