This map, *Kaart van het Koninkrijk Siam (bovenste helft)*, created by the Dutch cartographer Joachim Ottens between 1675 and 1719, depicts the Kingdom of Siam, now Thailand, and its tributary kingdoms. Ottens, known for his detailed maps of Southeast Asia, uses vibrant colors and detailed outlines to showcase the geographical features of the region, including islands, rivers, and coastlines. The map is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and measures 356mm in height and 554mm in width. This map is a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the cartographic knowledge of the 17th and 18th centuries.
