• A piece of impressed pottery at the Nong Ratchawat site in Thailand. I’m out in the field today! With colleagues from @seameospafa, Silpakorn University and the Fine Arts Department filming training videos (more details on those soon). It’s nice to be down in the dirt again... #archaeology #thailand #suphanburi #neolithic #ceramics #nongratchawat #thaiarchaeology #southeastasianarchaeology #fieldwork

  • 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 Straits Times, 14 January 2020: A researcher in Singapore has traced the locations of 20 istanas or palaces used by Malay royals that are no longer standing today. Unfortunately, the story is behind a paywall.

“Singaporeans generally know of two istanas in Singapore – the office of the Republic’s President and Istana Kampong Glam, the present-day Malay Heritage Centre.

Heritage buffs might be familiar with another two: the Istana Woodneuk and the torn-down Istana Tyersall. These derelict buildings near the Singapore Botanic Gardens were once the palaces of Johor’s former Temenggong Abu Bakar Daeng Ibrahim.

Temenggong, is an old Malay title of nobility, usually given to the head of public security.

Singapore was once home to as many as 30 istanas, some of which were located in heartland areas, such as Bedok, Serangoon Road and Telok Blangah.

This is what heritage researcher, Mr Sarafian Salleh, learnt after studying archival research and conducting interviews with the descendants of families who built and owned these istanas.

Mr Sarafian has pinpointed the locations of 20 of these former istanas and found information on their various owners, in what is understood to be the first such project of its kind.”
