Beginning of restoration clearing at Prasat Wat Sa Kamphaeng Yai, Amphoe Uthumphon Phisai, Sisaket Province - circa 1900.

Just a part of a broad spearhead of ancient restorations throughout the country at numerous prominent historic ruins, largely under the auspices of King Chulalongkorn and his close advisor and half-brother, Prince Damrong Rajanubhab....and later under the guidance of King Vajiravudh - approx. 1894 through the 1915 [more or less]. The large and complete restoration schemes included the more well known historic heritage sites as well as countless areas throughout the country.
