It is also a wonderful way to tour the city cheaply. There are several kinds of city buses: air-conditioned and regular buses with different range of capacity route and fare. The regular city bus covers nearly all areas of Bangkok. Routes could be determined from most city maps for sale or by calling the Bangkok Transport Office. The air- conditioned buses shares similar routes with the regular buses, but provides a more comfortable shelter from the Bangkok heat. Fare depends upon distance, usually determined by the bus conductor.

The earliest known inhabitation of present-day Thailand dates to the Paleolithic period, about 20,000 years ago. Archaeology has revealed evidence in the Khorat Plateau in the northeast of prehistoric inhabitants who forged bronze implements as early as 3000 B.C. and cultivated rice during the fourth millennium B.C.

~ 48 ~ Cave Paintings at Pha Taem Cave paintings refer to pictures which are drawn or painted in colors on the surface of rocks. Although these paintings are found in places other than caves, for example, on cliffs and rock shelters, they are generally called cave paintings or cave art. Cave paintings were closely related to rites and beliefs and carried symbolic meaning. The painting of animals was a magical attempt to make hunting more successful or to increase the number of animals for hunting. Some cave paintings were records of important events in the community. Cave art has been discovered in many parts of Thailand. In the Northeast, there are 131 sites in nine provinces. One of the largest groups is located in Pha Taem in Ubon Ratchathani province. The word “Pha Taem” literally means the cliff which was painted in colors. The Pha Taem cliff itself is a flat rock surface approximately 180 meters long and has an area of nearly 900 square meters. There are more than 300 paintings at Pha Taem. Most of them were painted in red, others were done in black or white. The paintings show animals, objects and symbols, and frequently, human hands.

Phimai In Thailand, there are stone sanctuaries of different sizes dating from about 600 to 1,000 years old. Most of them are in the Northeastern part of the country. These sanctuaries are called “Prasat Hin” in Thai because they were built with stones. Some of these sanctuaries were used as Buddhist shrines and some were used as Hindu shrines. One of these Prasat Hin is Prasat Hin Phimai which is situated in the center of Amphoe Phimai, Nakhon Ratchasima province. Art historians believe that Prasat Hin Phimai was built in the 17th Buddhist century (12th Century A.D.) as a Buddhist shrine. This is evidenced by the statue of Buddha protected by Naga once enshrined in the main sanctuary. Prasat Hin Phimai is surrounded by stone walls with a gate in the north, south, east, and west. The main gate is in the south and a Naga bridge connects the gate to the main entrance of the sanctuary. The entrance leads to the main sanctuary which is located at the center of the inner courtyard. The main sanctuary was the place where religious ceremonies were performed. Other interesting buildings in the inner courtyard include the gallery, the libraries and the hospital.
~ 51 ~ Restoration of Prasat Hin Phimai was conducted from 1964 to 1969. Later Prasat Hin Phimai and the area nearby which includes the ancient city of Phimai was declared a historical park. The landscape was developed. An outdoor museum displaying stone lintels was established. The Phimai Historical Park was officially opened in 1989 making it the fourth historical park of the country.

Phnom Rung Phnom Rung is a Khmer religious monument known in Thai as Prasat Khao Phnom Rung. It is situated on the top of the Phnom Rung hill in Amphoe Nang Rong, Buriram province , not far from the Thai-Cambodian border. Unlike Prasat Hin Phimai, which was built as a Buddhist shrine, Prasat Khao Phnom Rung was built and dedicated to Siva, the Hindu god. A carved figure of Siva in a dancing posture can be seen on the pediment at the entrance. The lintel of the main sanctuary also depicts Siva as a hermit. In 1988, the name Prasat Khao Phnom Rung appeared frequently in newspapers in Thailand. The media reported that the stone lintel depicting reclining Vishnu had been missing from its place at the Prasat. The lintel was seen on display at the Art Institute, Chicago, U.S.A. The Thai people and the Thai government united in a nationwide campaign to reclaim the lintel. The effort was fruitful and the lintel was eventually returned to the Prasat. When you visit Prasat Khao Phnom Rung, you will see the long -lost lintel firmly fixed in its original place. Picture 4 : https://www.viator.com/

Sukhothai Historical Park The ancient city of Sukhothai is about 12 kilometers west of Sukhothai province. The oldest stone inscription discovered mentions that tradesmen came to Sukhothai from China and the Middle East. During the 18th Buddhist century (13th century A.D.), the state of Sukhothai flourished while the two major kingdoms, Angkor in the East and Pagan in the West, were declining. Sukhothai, the earliest recorded state of the Thai people, gradually built up its strength and stability. The height of success came under the strong leadership of King Ramkhamhaeng, the warrior, patron of Theravada Buddhism and inventor of Thai script and King Lithai, a patron of the arts. By the end of the 19th Buddhist century (14th century A.D.), Sukhothai was incorporated into the Kingdom of Ayutthaya.
~ 56 ~ For hundreds of years, many of the ancient structures, ponds, dams, reservoirs and kilns at the ancient city of Sukhothai were left in ruins. The Department of Fine Arts began excavation and research projects to restore this ancient city in 1952. Later, UNESCO provided some aid and a restoration plan was set up. The team of experts restored monuments, excavated archaeological sites, cleared city moats, strengthened the inner walls of the city and developed the landscape. The ancient city has now been turned into a historical park and is registered as a world heritage site. Picture 5 : http://www.thailand-guide.com/ Answer the following questions. 1.

~ 59 ~ The Ancient City of Ayutthaya Ayutthaya was the capital city of Thailand for 417 years. While it was the capital, the city flourished. The former randeur of Ayutthaya can be seen from the ruins of many palaces and temples found in Phra Nakorn Si Ayutthaya province. One of the most interesting sites in this province is the ancient city of Ayutthaya. The ancient city consists mainly of three palaces: the Grand Palace, Chankasem Palace, and Suan Luang Sobsawan Palace. The Grand Palace, built on the bank of the Lopburi River was known as “the old palace”.The palace buildings are in ruins. Only brick foundations remain to indicate the locations of the throne halls and pavilions and their former splendor. Chankasem Palace was known as the Palace of the Front, being the residence of the Prince successor. The palace was destroyed when Ayuatthaya was taken by Burma in 1767.
