The Historic Town of Sukhothai and Associated Historic Towns consists of three closely related ancient towns: Sukhothai, Si Satchanalai, and Kamphaeng Phet. The first two are in Sukhothai province while the third is located in Kamphaeng Phet province. Sukhothai was the capital of the first Kingdom of Siam, which existed in the 13th and 14th century CE, while Si Satchanalai was its spiritual centre. Kaemphaeng Phet, located at the kingdom’s southern border, was an important frontier city. The large number of monuments, buildings and temples, and architectural designs found here are distinctly Buddhist and represent the beginning of Thai architecture and art, known as the “Sukhothai style”.

The Statue of Liberty was designed by French sculptor Frederic Bartholdi, in collaboration with engineer Gustave Eiffel, and made in Paris. It was a gift from France to the United States on the occasion of the centenary of American independence in 1876. Its construction was recognised as an engineering feat of its time. Erected atop a pedestal designed by American architect Richard Morris Hunt, placed at the entrance to New York Harbor, and inaugurated in 1886, the sculpture has been a symbol of welcome for the millions of migrants who entered the United States through the harbour.
