We embark on an expedition to explore the historical richness of the lower northeastern region of Thailand, delving into the connections between the Golden Boy sculpture and the Majapahit Dynasty, while tracing the roots of the Khmer-Hindu civilisation.




Two precious artifacts, the "Golden Boy" statue depicting the Hindu deity Shiva and a kneeling female figure with raised arms, are set to return from the United States to Thailand in a repatriation ceremony scheduled for May this year.
