Vigorous efforts are now up and running to recreate the core zone of the once-splendid capital of Ayutthaya in 3D models and animation.

“We have already recreated six temples in pictures,” Fine Arts Department director-general Grienggrai Sampatchalit said yesterday.

He was speaking after attending a ceremony to worship late Thai kings at the Ayutthaya Historical Park.

The ancient complex at Ayutthaya is a Unesco World Heritage Site.

PTT Exploration and Production has provided more than Bt68 million for the project to conserve the complex in honour of His Majesty the King.
