  • Chiang Saen is a Lanna-period town that was controlled by the Burmese and Siamese at different times. Today it sits on the Thai side of the border, near the Golden Triangle separating Myanmar, Laos and Thailand. The walled city was a major centre of Buddhism for the Lanna kingdom, and there are numerous temple ruins to explore.

via South China Morning Post, 23 February 2021: SCMP’s coverage of the return of the Latchford antiquities (see here and here). To their credit, they have gotten a larger variety of opinions, particularly from Cambodians.

Cambodia’s efforts to reclaim artefacts taken during the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s and smuggled through neighbouring Thailand received a boost when the daughter of a controversial late British art collector last month announced she would return more than 100 items worth over US$50 million.

The Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts on January 29 said Douglas Latchford’s collection constituted “one of the greatest collections of Khmer cultural heritage outside of Cambodia” and their return was “an incredible event for the Cambodian people and the world”.

Latchford, who died last year aged 88, was in 2019 charged by federal prosecutors in the United States for making false documents to transport ancient Khmer valuables around the world.

The items, joining others that have been returned by foreigners in previous years, demonstrate the Herculean task faced by the Cambodian government and its supporters in restoring and preserving the country’s history.
