  • Development Challenges for Religious Arts on the Thonburi Bank of the Chao Phraya River
    Rajapark Journal Vol.13 No.30 July-September 2019 “ความรู้มีรากฐานมาจากจิตสำนึก” Development Challenges for Religious Arts on the Thonburi Bank of the Chao Phraya River Nattawut Palakavongsa na Ayudhya Silpakorn University Email: [email protected] Received July 11, 2019; Revised July 24, 2019; Accepted September 15, 2019 Abstract From long-term observation of the riverfront communities of Thonburi and of their apparent success, the following research question was derived, both motivating and guiding the present project: Does the Thonburi community manifest significant key values that might explain its historical success in multi-ethnic, multicultural and multi-religious tolerance and co-habitation, and thence to reveal if there are lessons to be drawn from this success regarding ways of living together, also to become integrated into existing community structures? There has been a further, underlying question: do the lessons to be drawn from Thonburi’s historic tolerance and community peace have potential for translation to other levels where conflict prevails in Thailand’s society? In pursuing this broad question, the following more specific objectives have been set: 1) To study cultural and social context influencing religious places on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River, and 2) To study the features of artistic works in religious places of Buddhism, Christianity and Islam in the communities on the Thonburi side of the Chao Phraya River area in relation to cultural and social context. One set of questionnaires and interviews was developed and used as a research instrument. Experts and elderly people living in the community participated in the in-depth interviews.

  • Asian Expansions
    8 Siamese state expansion in the Thonburi and early Bangkok periods Koizumi Junko Introduction This study examines how the polity of Siam was able to re-establish itself and expand its control over the areas that extended to the Lao Kingdoms in the north and northeast and to the Malay Peninsula in the south within the several decades after the destruction of Ayutthaya by Burmese forces. Existing studies have pointed out that thriving maritime trade, especially with China, was of crucial importance to the recovery of Siamese power. The early Bangkok period saw a frequent dispatch of tributary missions to China with a commercial motivation of unprecedented strength. Along with the dispatch of official tributary missions, private junk trade between the two countries also flourished. By fully exploiting the benefits from such trade, Siam quickly recovered from the devastation caused by the Burmese invasion and became one of the major powers in the region by the early nineteenth century.1 Besides those studies that emphasise the significance of maritime com­ mercial activities, there is another vein of research that stresses the import­ ance of labour power control, particularly corvée service to the king imposed on all able-bodied men, for the (re-)establishment of Siam as a strong kingdom.2 It is argued that in the beginning of a new dynasty, the absolute kingship based on a firm control over labour power in the form of corvée was realised; yet such control was to be eroded by the flourishing commercial economy, through its encouragement of corvée evasion as commoners fled or became phrai som (“private” freemen serving officials) or that (a person under debt bondage) on the one hand, and the employ­ ment of Chinese wage labourers on the other.
