The city is re-peopled, the moat re-dug, and the first trees planted along a road.

What it is

Kawila re-enters the empty city in 1796, restores the walls and gives the corners their bastions. Through the century Siam's hold tightens; the first teak bridge crosses the Ping about 1890; the yang-na trees go in along the Lamphun road, 1882 by one account; the Hang Dong road is built in 1899 with khi-lek trees for the Burma trade.

The long version

Inference — the century's road-building is all outside the moat and all radial: a bridge east, an avenue south, a trade road southwest. The square was left alone. That pattern held for another fifty years.
