The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, in 1962, praised the Father of Thai history, His late Royal Highness, Prince Damrong Rajanubhab, as an important person of the world. He is the first Thai person to be honoured. The next year, HRH Prince Narisara Nuvadtivongs, the great architect of Siam, was also honoured. Both are considered as playing an important role in laying the essential foundation for education and the arts, making history, archaeology and art of Siam widely learned in education systems since the King Rama V period.
