Ban Chiang is a fascinating and unusual UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in Udon Thani province in north-east Thailand, Ban Chiang completely changed the accepted pre-history of South-East Asia. Pottery and burials were discovered here in the 1960s, showing that a flourishing Bronze Age community existed on the site as early as 3000 BC - far earlier than previously believed. And interestingly, the pottery is absolutely beautiful! Let's check it out.
