Ayutthaya Historical Park taking shape
The Nation, 05 February 2010
Vigorous efforts are now up and running to recreate the core zone of the once-splendid capital of Ayutthaya in 3D models and animation.
“We have already recreated six temples in pictures,” Fine Arts Department director-general Grienggrai Sampatchalit said yesterday.
He was speaking after attending a ceremony to worship late Thai kings at the Ayutthaya Historical Park.
The ancient complex at Ayutthaya is a Unesco World Heritage Site.
PTT Exploration and Production has provided more than Bt68 million for the project to conserve the complex in honour of His Majesty the King.
