N1 - Funding Information:
The management of archaeological heritage under the FAD allows some degree of involvement from other organisations, as well as the private sector. The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organisation-Special Program for Archaeology and the Fine Arts (SEAMEO-SPAFA) is one such organisation. SEAMEO-SPAFA is a cooperative regional organisation in charge of the professionalisation and promotion of archaeology and fine arts in Southeast Asia. It is based in Bangkok and supported by the Thai Ministry of Education. SEAMEO-SPAFA has an active role in collaboration and capacity building in related activities. Other organisations include public universities that have Archaeology programmes, including Silpakorn University, Thammasat University, Chiang Mai University and Khon Kaen University.

N2 - The Phanom-Surin (PNS) archaeological site contains the remains of a sewn-plank vessel that is dated to the 9th century CE and discovered in Thailand's mangrove swamp. As the only accessible sewn-plank vessel archaeology in the world, it provides research opportunities and potential for collaboration between heritage stakeholders. Preservation of the site within its context is crucial. Throughout this article, I will explain the importance of the PNS site management and its context based on my experience. The fuller understanding of the PNS site relies much on the information to be extracted from the materials and contexts. This article therefore encourages the preservation and management of the site within the original context. There are several relevant international guidelines for heritage and environmental management, such as the World Heritage Operational Guidelines, the Annex of the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) 2001 Convention and the technical Ramsar Convention, all of which can help develop domestic framework and practices. This article aims to draw public and government attention towards the PNS site, and discusses concepts, policies and practices relating to the site.
