Thai manuscripts

Thai manuscripts are traditional written works produced on materials like palm leaves or handmade paper, often inscribed with a stylus or ink. They typically feature intricate scripts and are decorated with artistic borders or illustrations. Historically, these manuscripts contain religious texts, literature, law, and historical records, reflecting Thailand’s cultural and spiritual heritage. They serve as vital links to the country’s history, preserving language, art, and knowledge through carefully crafted and beautifully preserved documents.
