Abstract
In April 1928, George Cœdès attended the 150th anniversary of the Royal Society of Arts and Sciences of Batavia (today Jakarta) as Secretary-General of the Royal Institute of Bangkok and President of the Siam Society. Honored for his work on Śrīvijaya, he toured key Javanese sites, including Borobudur and Prambanan, and observed advanced restoration methods such as anastylosis. These experiences deeply influenced his subsequent work and responsibilities, shaping Khmer temple conservation and restoration in Southeast Asia for decades.
