Phan Reuang is one of the eleven heroic leaders who in 1767 fought the invading Burmese in defence of the Bang Rajan camp in Singburi (fig.). Trying to dispel the Burmese invaders, he collected the villagers' brass and copper to ​​cast a cannon, and had enough metal to cast two guns. However, they weren't skillfully made and misfired, alerting the enemy, and in his subsequent attempt to flee, he was killed.
