The cultural heritage has been restored. After over half a century, the United States has returned "the Golden Boy" to Thailand. A 900-year-old statue was smuggled out of Thailand by a notorious art dealer, Douglas Latchford, who's running an antiquities trafficking network in Southeast Asia, and spending decades in the possession of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. "The Golden Boy" has a twin statue, visitors can now admire both of them at the National Museum Bangkok.

A pre-historic stone inscription was created on the occasion of the Si Thep King's accession to the throne. This stone was found in the ancient city called 'Si Thep' of the 'Dvaravati Empire' in central Thailand. The alphabet used is called the 'Pallava' script and was written in the 'Sanskrit' language. The 'Pallava' script was developed in southern India during the Pallava dynasty around 3rd-5th century. The 'Dvaravati Empire' thrived in Central Thailand from the 6th to the 10th centuries (pre-Angkor Wat) and was the most critical empire as it was the Mother of all civilisation in the region. The use of the 'Pallava' script and 'Sanskrit' language to tell stories and record history also proved this region was the strong cradle of South Indian civilisation in the past.
