Of course Thailand's capital has a number of important shrines and monuments,
but those found elsewhere in the kingdom have no less significance, at least
on a regional basis. Stone and bronze sculptures and epitaphs protect the
memory of both important figures from the country's past and those who made
sacrifices for their country. Although many stem from events in Thailand's
modern history, others date through to Thailand's prehistory. Housed in ruins
and temples with the influences of Khmer and other kingdoms, they represent a
range of actual deities and religious figures and those based in mythology.
Wherever you are in Thailand, visiting local monuments and shrines will give
you a worthwhile insight into important aspects of the country's history and
culture.
