The task has been made harder thanks to decades of foreign looting.
SI THEP: Under the scorching sun, Thai archaeologist Tanachaya Tiandee clambers through ruined pagodas in the ancient town of Si Thep, trying to unlock their mysteries – a task made harder because parts of the puzzle are missing thanks to decades of looting.
As 33-year-old Tanachaya carefully excavates the ancient stone constructions, she faces a difficult task piecing together the stories of Si Thep, which lies around 200km north of Bangkok. But the process is slow, partly because government officials are wary of jeopardising diplomatic relations with important allies like the US.
The works, which it claimed were legally purchased, “have been carefully preserved and displayed” said Leslie Denk, vice-president of external affairs at the institution.
