In Thailand, historical parks (Thai: อุทยานประวัติศาสตร์, in Thai pronounced as /ùt.tʰa.jāːn prà.wàt.tì.sàːt/) are protected areas managed by the Fine Arts Department for their historical value, usually covering an extensive group of archaeological sites in an area, which are themselves legally protected as ancient monuments.
There are eleven historical parks, five of which constitute three of Thailand's World Heritage Sites:
