The Epigraphic Archives of Wat Pho in Bangkok is a unique collection of 1,360 Thai language inscriptions on marble plates made in the 1830’s on both religious and secular subjects, representing a wide range of Thai knowledge of Asian and local roots of the time. It was a conscious effort by King Rama III and Thai scholars to preserve them in and made them visible to the public with the ultimate aim in general education on cultural heritage, diversity and civilizations. The knowledge related to Thai yoga has recently become widespread through devoted practitioners, schools, spas and wellness centres worldwide.
