Extractions: It is easy to see how important this influence is to modern Thailand. Buddhist religion and popular myth are the most obvious examples. Much of Thailand's royal tradition is also rooted in Indian culture. The present dynasty, of which his Majesty King Bhumibol is the ninth monarch , is known formally as the House of Chakri. While this title comes directly from the name of the founding monarch before he became king, the word chakra actually means the discuss of Hindu mythology. It provides a clear link to Hindu beliefs. According to ancient belief, his Majesty is the fount of everything. His representative still presides over the stately Ploughing Ceremony in May each year to foretell the state of the annual harvest. The precise date and time of the event are determined by court astrologers. Both the ceremony and the astrology come directly from India.
Extractions: Perhaps Sukhothai, 450 kilometres north of Bangkok, is not one of Thailand's most attractive towns, but just 12 kilometres away are the magnificent ruins of the Kingdom's first capital, from which the modern town takes its name. Mr Campbell may have had a blind spot for the history and culture of his host country, though his complete silence on the historical remains of Sukhothai (they should have at least provided some respite from the boredom of which he complained so bitterly) is indicative of the neglect the ancient site has suffered until comparatively recently.

Thailand You can hardly turn a corner without seeing one ancient ruin or another.Lopburi was the capital of thailand on a couple of occasions. http://www.ajarn.com/Regionguides/Lopburi.htm
Extractions: Lopburi Q The Lonely Planet guidebook says......? A The town of Lopburi, 154km north of Bangkok, has been inhabited since at least the Dvaravati period (6th to 11th centuries AD) when it was called Lavo. Nearly all traces of Lavo culture were erased by Khmer and Thai inhabitants following the 10th century, but the Lopburi National Museum has many Dvaravati artifacts. Ruyins and statuary in Lopburi span a remarkable 12 centuries. For the visitor, Lopburi is of interest for its fine juxtaposition of ancient brick ruins and not-so-ancient shophouses, hotels and restaurants. It is one of the few cities in Thailand that actually feels as old as it is. The town also boasts a resident troop of monkeys that keeps things lively.

Extractions: An archaeological site has been identified in northeastern Thailand using airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) . The site consist of a pair of concentric ancient moats or canals which one surrounded an ancient town called "Muang Ham Hork " Near Ban Rai, Tambol Ban Khwao,Aamphoe Ban Khwao, Changwat Chaiyaphum. The siteenclosed by the moat is approximately 1.6Kmin diameter.It is estimated that the site dates from the Dvaravati period (1,200-1,600 BP). Today, the site is covered by cultivated land , and now only a few earth wall and moats remain in the eastern part of the town. A part of a high wall or gates appears in the south ,where a red sandstone Buddhist altara with the size of 2 m . 0.60m .*0.30m .was found on the top of the remaining wall , and broken pottery was also found at the area of the site . The SAR data was collected by the Canada Center for Remote Sensing Convair 580,as part of the joint Canada-Thailand Globe SAR Program .globe SAR is designed to develop SAR expertise in a number of countries around the world, prior to the launch of Canada's Radarsat in 1995. Due to the characteristics of radar, in particularity capability to distinguish between adjacent areas with slightly different levels of soil moisture, it is a most effective in identifying sites such as this one, in tropical or sub-tropicalenviornments. While archaeology was not the prime objective of the GlobeSAR program in this region , the unexpected results will add considerably to Thailand's archaeological inventory. It is planned to review the SAR data from all eight sites in Thailand to determine whether or not other sites or features can be identified.
