Suvarnabhumi or “Land of Gold”, is the name of land that was mentioned in many ancient sources, as a prosperous land in the far east. However, because of a lack of evidence about its location, many southeast asian countries have claimed that they were Suvarnabhumi. In this work I used information and stories of Suvarnabhumi from Thai government which I collected from national museums and journals. Combining them with a story of housekeepers in a fancy love motel that located in the land that once was officially believed as a centre of Suvarnabhumi. The tasks of these housekeepers are to get rid of traces, to maintain the cleanness and the timeless beauty.
