via The Nation, 25 July 2024: Phu Phra Bat Historical Park in Udon Thani is expected to be named a UNESCO World Heritage Site this week, potentially becoming Thailand’s fifth cultural heritage site. The decision will be made during the 46th World Heritage Committee session in New Delhi. The park features ancient ruins and rock shelters from various historical periods.
“If Phu Phra Bat Historical Park is listed as a world heritage site, it will be Thailand’s fifth cultural heritage and Udon Thani’s second site following Ban Chiang Archaeological Site,” she said.
Sudawan said she is confident that the historical park will be named as a new world heritage site, thanks to the working team’s data preparation and presentation.
She added that the Fine Arts Department will live broadcast the result announcement on its Facebook page.
