This is not a separate work: it is UNESCO's own inscription record for Nuad Thai, traditional Thai massage, one entry in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the same continuously maintained official register this atlas also records as a general source. It descends from that register rather than standing beside it, so citing this entry alongside the general Representative List record, or alongside another of its entries, is one institutional voice, not corroboration. Its real limit is the register's own limit: an official designation record produced by the Intergovernmental Committee for the purpose of recognition and safeguarding, not a religiously neutral scholarly ethnography. Use it for this practice's inscription status, inscription year and the Committee's own stated description of it; a claim about its deeper history or meaning needs a source produced outside UNESCO.

Derived From

This record's own Title names the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as the register it is entered under, and its Author names the Committee or UNESCO itself rather than an individual scholar; one entry inside that same continuously maintained official register, not a witness independent of it.
