It contains Khao Klang Si Thep, the Prang Song Phi Nong and Prang Si Thep groups, significant archaeological sites. The second part is an area located outside the ancient town of Sri Thep, where many unexcavated and undeveloped archaeological sites, around 50 in total, are predominantly located north of the ancient town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1040\" height=\"1040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thaitravelcenter.com\/thailand\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/\u0e28\u0e23\u0e35\u0e40\u0e17\u0e1e-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9753\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) presents the event &#8220;The Marvelous Spectrum at Sri Thep: Towards Global Heritage.&#8221; This event showcases the Sri Thep Historical Park in Phetchabun province with stunning colorful lights, inviting everyone to experience the wonder of the past, illuminated by bright lights. The event is held from August 29th to September 3rd, 2023. It aims to promote tourism in both local and international contexts, further boosting the Sri Thep Historical Park&#8217;s potential to be registered as a new world heritage site of Thailand by UNESCO. The event&#8217;s opening ceremony was honored by Mr. Pipat Ratchakitprakan, the Minister of Tourism and Sports, and features four highlight performances daily: 19:00, 19:30, 20:00, and 20:30. These performances narrate the legends of Sri Thep from beliefs to people&#8217;s faith in the Pa Sak River Basin, leading to the creation of architectural and artistic heritage and culture.
