Palabras clave:

In Thailand, cultural heritage may not be legally recognised as widely as ancient monuments. In consequence, the terms used in heritage conservation in Thai language reflect the perception in heritage and conservation approaches involving professionals and the general public. To understand cultural heritage conservation in Thailand at present, this paper provides and discusses conservation approaches in relation to the governing and political development in four periods, including the time before modern conservation was introduced to Thailand, the early period of modern conservation, the time after the 1932 Revolution and the recent period which is after the coup in 2006. Then the last part of the paper explores the current challenges in cultural heritage conservation in Thailand, through the case study of Mahakan Fort restoration and its community relocation.
