 * Symbol question.svg Article was nominated for DYK on November 23 so it meets the age requirements. Content is cited. As sources are mostly in Thai, they are accepted in good faith. QPQ provided. However, there are some typos in the article, like "Phra Sumen Fort is one of the remaining structures, which have been designated as ancient monuments" when it should be phrased something like "Phra Sumen Fort, which has been designated as an ancient monument, is one of the two remaining structures". Once these are resolved, this should be good to go. Both hooks are interesting, but I would prefer ALT0 to go up as it's shorter and somewhat quirkier.

 * I'm not quite sure what's wrong with the previous wording, but I've adjusted the caption anyway. If there are other phrases you find problematic, please list them specifically. --Paul_012 (talk) 08:35, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The phrasing of that part was a bit odd since one part referred to a singular noun but the other phrase used plurals. In any case, I don't think I saw any more problems so I guess this is ready. Symbol voting keep.svg Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 15:15, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
