JAROONSAK JARUDHIRANART : THE INTERPRETATION OF SI SATCHANALAI THESIS ADVISOR : SUPOT CHITTASUTTHIYAN, Ph.D. Si Satchanalai is an old city located in the upper central region along Yom River. There are community settlements evident at least from 9th century BE. In the early Sukhothai Period, Si Satchanalai was prosperous in various aspects including political, economic, physical, social, religious and cultural, as a regency sharing culture with the state of Sukhothai, especially in the prosperity of the arts and architecture in Buddhism that raised to the highest level and became a Thailand Classic art era. In addition, in the early Ayutthaya period Sri Satchanalai produced ceramic wares that could be huge export revenue in the 21st century BE. In present time, Sri Satchanalai is a World Heritage Site along with Kamphaeng Phet and Sukhothai since 2534 BE, as Sukhothai’s associated city. It consists of cultural heritage including the community, its architecture and the ancient city. The fine arts and architecture at that time reached its highest point, considered the Classical Age of the arts of Thailand. It also consists rich evidence of the prospering of Buddhism in the Sukhothai period. There are ceramic wares, kilns and associated cultural landscape of Sri Satchanalai showing the inter-relationship of tangible and intangible heritage of the time. In conclusion, Sri Satchanalai possess high historical, scientific, aesthetic, and social value. This research is the study of current interpretation at selected information center of Si Satchanalai. The finding is that Si Satchanalai interpretation are most interpreted for visitors at the Information Center. While at the other 3 museums; Wat Chom Chuen archeological site museum interpretation focuses in evidence and information of the archaeological excavation, Site Museum Center for Study and Preservation of Sangkhalok Kiln (site number 61) and Center for Study and Preservation of Si Satchanalai Kilns Project (Phase 2) (On-Site Museum for kilns 42 and 123) interpretation focus on 4 source that is exhibited as media in interpretation. The study also found that the most effective technique for interpretation is from the speaker. Si Satchanalai Historical Park should use knowledge management to train new speaker for the site and should develop information technology interpretation using the internet system from smart phone to effectively interpret Si Satchanalai.
