via Pattaya Mail, 13 July 2020: I don’t know why the Thai Treasury is undertaking this task (as opposed to the Fine Arts Department) but the Treasury is also custodian of over 60 historic buildings.
The Treasury Department of Thailand has ordered its provincial offices to carry out a survey of old and historically important buildings for conservation. The survey is set to be completed in August, providing protection against the demolition of these buildings.
The Treasury Department’s Director General, Yuttana Yimgarund said the department has ordered its offices to locate state property buildings which have historic, artistic, or architectural value for conservation, thereby granting these buildings protection against demolition.
