Bangkok's heritage,
monument by monument.

The Fine Arts Department keeps a register of Thailand's ancient monuments — the temples, forts, bridges, canals and shophouse rows the state has judged worth protecting. Five hundred and seventy-one of them are in Bangkok. This register holds all of them, along with the quarters they cluster in and the walks that string them together.

A monument is either gazetted — formally registered in the Royal Gazette, with a volume and a date — or still awaiting consideration. Both are here, and the difference is marked, because a building waiting on a decision is the one most likely to be gone before the decision arrives.

The 3D map is the front door of BKKx now — this register is the drill-down. If you want to read the city from above first, the map is on the home page. If you want to read it register-first, you're in the right place.
