Surin Province launches a campaign to preserve the nation's cultural heritage.

Surin Province launched a campaign to preserve the nation's cultural heritage on April 11, with the event held at Prasat Mueang Thi (Wat Chom Suthawat) in Mueang Surin District. Deputy Governor Kitti Satsue presided over the opening, joined by local officials, religious leaders, and residents. The initiative aims to raise awareness of cultural values and encourage collective action to safeguard Thailand’s heritage, a theme relevant to ongoing preservation efforts in Phuket.

Activities and Community Involvement

The campaign featured traditional cultural performances, an exhibition on Thai Heritage Conservation Day, and local folk music. Organisers included the Surin Provincial Cultural Office, government agencies, private sector partners, and local administrative organisations.

Volunteers participated in cleaning and developing the ancient site, while attendees, led by the deputy governor, pledged to uphold national cultural heritage. Religious ceremonies and acts of respect for the historic location underscored the significance of the event, which called on all sectors of society to help sustain cultural values for future generations.
