CHACHOENGSAO: A local fine arts agency defended the restoration of an ancient city wall built in the reign of King Rama III in Muang district, saying the maintenance costing more than 9 million baht was conducted with materials similar to those used in the bygone era.

It sounds like the maintainence of the old wall was costing 9,000,000 baht per year, but maybe that meant to say the RESTORATION cost 9,000,000? All in all, sounds like a beneficial job… I would certainly like to hear more about the details of the criticism. Not a very informative piece of journalism…
