The document details the history and changes to Sanam Luang, the Royal Field in Bangkok, Thailand over 200 years from 1782 to present. It began as the royal rice field for the King and was later transformed into a public park and site for national ceremonies and events. The uses and buildings within the field changed with each reigning King. It is now protected as a national heritage site and remains an important public space in Bangkok.
