On the 100th anniversary of the Rattanakosin Kingdom, he was also appointed to inspect the narrative poetry featured in mural paintings surrounding the Buddhist chapel at Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram. UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay said the agency’s rectification was in accordance with a general assembly resolution and comes during this auspicious year, when Thailand celebrates the 200th anniversary of the renowned Thai scholar’s birth. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-07-07 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
