Located in the Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary in Uthai Thani province, the Baan Sueb Nakasatien'Mernorial was erected to commemorate the/death of the celebrated conservationist, Sueb Nakasatian, the former head of the Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary. The memorial, built on the very spot where Sueb Nakasatian lived, worked and took his own life on 1 September 1990, was also designed to help promote his legacy of wildlife conservation.
In the Memorial Compound is a Sueb
Nakasatian Memorial Building, a multipurpose building for different activities, meetings, seminars, lectures and video presentation on the conservation efforts at Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary. There is also an exhibition with displays on Sueb's life and works and his perspectives of wildlife conservation.
Sueb Nakasatien Memorial effectively reflects the personality of the beloved Sueb Nakasatian as a wildlife specialist who was fond of trekking the wild with his backpack to collect information on the wild, to paint and taking photographs. The compact bungalow-like building, where Sueb lived and worked during his service as head of the Wildlife Sanctuary, is kept with his personal utensils and office equipment intact in the same condition prior to his death.Today, Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary is a world heritage, the first natural reserve in Thailand to be proclaimed by UNESCO on 9 December 1991 following Sueb Nakasatian's essay to UNESCO on his approach toconserving the wildlife sanctuary.
