English: The U.S. government welcomes the return of two 11th century stone lintels to Thailand, marking the end of a four-year effort on behalf of the United States and Thailand to bring these items home. “These two lintels are visible symbols of Thai culture and history, and the United States government is proud to have fought for their return to Thailand,” said the U.S. Chargé d'Affaires Michael Heath who represents the U.S. government at the handover ceremony at the National Museum on June 25, 2021. The U.S. Homeland Security Investigations Bangkok Office and U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of California worked closely with the Thai Ministry of Culture and Ministry of Foreign Affairs to complete the repatriation process, and the lintels arrived in Thailand on May 28, 2021.
