Early History
Charles F Keyes in 1974 wrote:
To obtain a fuller and more correct picture of the society and culture of the early urban life on the Khorat Plateau, we must, as Professors Thiva and Srisakra have argued, undertake considerably more archaeological research than has been done thus far. And, I would add, we can further increase our understanding of these societies through systematic research on a number of the indigenous legends of the Thai-Lao people of northeastern Thailand.The first major civilisation to occupy Isan was considered, by the study of artifacts, under the Dvaravati culture. The remains of walled and moated towns scattered the region, in the valleys of Chi and Mun rivers. The remains often show the Buddhist and Hinduist influence, perhaps expanding from the western part or the coastal and the Chao Phraya river basin.
