    © Lonely Planet Publications 101 BANGKOK BANGKOK Bangkok In recent years, Bangkok has broken away from its old image as a messy third-world capital to be voted by numerous metro-watchers as a top-tier global city. The sprawl and tropical humidity are still the city’s signature ambassadors, but so are gleaming shopping centres and an infectious energy of commerce and restrained mayhem. The veneer is an ultramodern backdrop of skyscraper canyons containing an untamed universe of diversions and excesses. The city is justly famous for debauchery, boasting at least four major red-light districts, as well as a club scene that has been revived post-coup. Meanwhile the urban populous is as cosmopolitan as any Western capital – guided by fashion, music and text messaging. But beside the 21st-century façade is a traditional village as devout and sacred as any remote corner of the country. This is the seat of Thai Buddhism and the monarchy, with the attendant splendid temples. Even the modern shopping centres adhere to the old folk ways with attached spirit shrines that receive daily devotions. Bangkok will cater to every indulgence, from all-night binges to shopping sprees, but it can also transport you into the old-fashioned world of Siam. Rise with daybreak to watch the monks on their alms route, hop aboard a long-tail boat into the canals that once fused the city, or forage for your meals from the numerous and lauded food stalls.

  • The Giant Swing: (Lo Ching Cha) Brahmanical Origins and Its Significance to the Religious Culture of Thailand
    The Giant Swing: (Lo Ching Cha) Brahmanical origins and its significance to the religious culture of Thailand By Willard G. Van De Bogart Abstract: The Giant Swing is one of Thailand’s most well known landmarks. What is less known about this historic landmark is its symbolic significance. It was Phra Phuttha Yodfa Chulaloke, (King Rama I) who installed the swing in the center of “Krung Rattanakosin In-Ayothaya” on April 21, 1782 (Fig. 1.), the name that was given to the new capital after the fall of the 400 year old capital city of Ayutthaya in 1767. Figure 1. Early sketch showing the Giant Swing first installed in Bangkok The city pillar (lak muang) was also an important installation linking the Indic linga cult associated with Lord Shiva. Both these installations (swing and pillar) were to establish the new city as the center of the universe similar to Lord Indra who occupied the center of the universe. From its origins in Ayutthaya, when the swing was presented as a gift by Brahamin priests to Phrachao Ramathibodi, eleventh King of Siam, (1491- 1529), it was used annually to honor the Hindu gods. In India the swing has been used for thousands of years with its early beginnings going back to the aboriginal cultures which populated the Indian sub-continent long before the Hindu culture began. The swing has been used in fertility rites, religious rituals and as a symbol for the cosmological understanding of the universe and developed as a way to celebrate the beginnings of the New Year by cultures worldwide.
