via Bangkok Post, 03 June 2021: A feature on the Fine Arts Department’s effort to put all their historical parks online. I have them listed in my Virtual Archaeology page.
Amid the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, we’ve been secluded at home for a few months and experienced travel restrictions as tourist attractions and entertainment venues remain closed.
Looking out the window, I sometimes imagine having Doraemon’s Anywhere Door that can teleport globetrotters to multiple places would be entertaining.
However, in reality, one thing that I can actually do is enjoy virtual tours to interact with the outside world during this tough time. Recently, the Fine Arts Department launched a new website virtualhistoricalpark.finearts.go.th, which allows visitors to explore 12 historical parks throughout the country such as Si Satchanalai Historical Park, Ayutthaya Historical Park, Sukhothai Historical Park and Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park.
