  • Entry to Wat Chedi Luang is not much, 40 baht for adults or $US1.30 - but when we entered there was nobody at the booth and the groundskeeper told us to go right in - the lack of tourists meant the inability to pay for ticketing staff. Heritage sites dependent on tourism are taking a beating, like the rest of the industry. We left a small donation to the temple, and at every temple we visited, to help for its upkeep. #covid19 #heritagetourism #archaeotourism #chiangmai #thailand #watchediluang

  • Check out my story for the Night at the Museum event at the Bangkok National Museum - in conjunction with Thai Museums Day on September 19. The museum hosted a tea party with musical and dance performances, followed by guided tours at the galleries. It was a good opportunity to catch the new exhibition ‘San Somdet’ - an exploration of Thai history, archaeology and culture through the correspondence of two princes. #bangkok #thailand #nationalmuseum #nationalmuseumbangkok #nightatthemuseum #sansomdet #thaimuseumday #thaihistory #thaiarchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology
  • In Chiangmai yesterday and today and most of my trip was concentrated in the old city of Chiangmai. Wat Chedi Luang, located close to the centre of the city, is easily the largest stupa in the area despite it incomplete state. Built at the end of the 14th century and damaged by earthquake in the 15th century, the chedi once housed the Emerald Buddha that had previously resided in Luang Prabang and is now in Bangkok. H/T to @pathsunwritten for his guides to Chiangmai. The history and archaeology of northern Thailand is unfamiliar to me, what else should I visit, during my next trip to Chiangmai?

  • Chedi Chiang Lom, the oldest building in Wat Chiang Man วัดเชียงมั่น, itself the oldest temple in the old city of Chiangmai. The temple was built in 1297, while King Mengrai was building his new city of Chiangmai. The Chedi is similar to Wat Chang Lom in Sukhothai. #วัดเชียงมั่น #chiangmai #chedi #stupa #elephant #thailand #thaiarchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology #lanna #buddhism #oldcity #ancientarchitecture

via Jakarta Post, 28 October 2019: More on the ancient spring with the Garuda statue that was found recently.

The recent discovery of an ancient pentirtaan (hot spring) in Sumberbeji village, Jombang regency, East Java, may provide clues to the location of a palace of the short-lived Kahuripan Kingdom that later became seat of the strongest female ruler in the history of the Majapahit Kingdom, Tribhuwana Tunggadewi.

According to Wicaksono Dwi Nugroho, an archaeologist from the Trowulan Cultural Heritage Preservation Agency (BPCB) in East Java and the head of the Sumberbeji site excavation team, among the archaeological findings that support the assumption were an ancient brick structure about three kilometers north of the hot spring and the Rimbi Temple about 14 km southeast of Sumberbeji.

The excavation of the Sumberbeji site, which is believed to have existed prior to the Majapahit Kingdom and was later refurbished during that period, has so far unveiled almost the entire structure of a building and the architectural landscape. The management of the water supply for the hot spring and a water fountain inside the pentirtaan is also considered to be quite complicated and advanced. The water from the canal was channeled to three directions: to the left and to the right through the hot spring walls and out the front through a meru (mountain symbol) structure that existed in the middle of the pentirtaan. As the result, the water was distributed through dozens of fountains of several different heights.

    Its wonderful. I wish the Indonesian archeologists getting the worth of their hardwork and tireless endeavors very soon. As a humble heir of The Great Majahit Empire in the Philippines, I wish to congratulate every one for this rediscovery to compliment other related restoration works for Srivijaya. There are few but essential works left for these two empires them, being the keyholders of many ancient secrets and from where the authorities bestowed by our early forebears have been bestowed.

    The recovery of wealth stolen in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah from these two empires were inevitable tasks for Sirikitiya Jensen of Thailand and myself to carry on and is expected to begin in 2020.

    We do anticipate that with the unwavering support and confidence of the Indonesian counterparts we will be able to accomplish everything as promised since those bygone days.

    My appreciation. I will forever be grateful to all of you🇮🇩🇵🇭🇹🇭
