Thailand takes slow steps to repatriate missing ancient artefacts

After decades of looters stripping Thailand’s historical sites and taking many items abroad, the country is still taking steps to repatriate the cultural treasures.

“The big picture like the building was discovered, but the artefacts which tell little details are missing, making a lot of stories untold about Si Thep,” said archaeologist Tanachaya Tiandee as quoted by AFP.

Si Thep is an ancient town. Experts are to this date trying to unlock the mysteries there.

“It’s like a piece of puzzle was missing,” said Tiandee.
