This multi-phase AFCP project supported the documentation, assessment, and conservation of the 17th-century Wat Chaiwatthanaram in the historical city of Ayutthaya. A major tourist attraction, this temple was inundated by severe flooding in 2011 which damaged brickwork, stucco, woodwork and mural paintings. The project involved intensive surveys and stabilization of the site, including laser scanning and digital mapping, field tests of conservation techniques, and the conservation of several pavilions.
