  • Incendiary Central: the Spatial Politics of the May 2010 Street Demonstrations in Bangkok Sophorntavy Vorng
    Urbanities, Vol. 2 · No 1 · May 2012 © 2012 Urbanities Incendiary Central: The Spatial Politics of the May 2010 Street Demonstrations in Bangkok Sophorntavy Vorng (Independent Anthropologist, Bangkok) [email protected] In May 2010, anti-government demonstrators made a flaming inferno of the CentralWorld Plaza – Thailand’s biggest, and Asia’s second largest, shopping mall. It was the climax of the latest major chapter of the Thai political conflict, during which thousands of protestors swarmed Ratchaprasong, the commercial centre of Bangkok, in an ultimately failed attempt to oust Abhisit Vejjajiva’s regime from power. In this article, I examine how downtown Bangkok and exclusive malls like CentralWorld represent physical and cultural spaces from which the marginalized working classes have been strikingly excluded. It is a configuration of space that maps the contours of a heavily uneven distribution of power and articulates a vernacular of prestige wherein class relations are inscribed in urban space. The significance of the Red-Shirted movement’s occupation of Ratchaprasong lies in the subversion of this spatialisation of power and draws attention to the symbolic deployment of space in the struggle for political supremacy. Keywords: Bangkok, protest, space, class, politics, consumption, mall Introduction: The Burning Centre In late May 2010, billowing charcoal smoke rose from the Ratchaprasong district in central Bangkok, casting a dark pall over the sprawling city. Much of it came from the flaming inferno of the CentralWorld Plaza, Thailand’s biggest, and Southeast Asia’s second largest, shopping mall.1 What will likely become one of the most iconic images of the conflagration is a photo by Adrees Latif of Reuters featuring a huge golden head with the likeness of a female deity in a square in front of the mall, her eyes seemingly wide with surprise as a tattered Thai flag fluttered pitifully overhead and the 500.000 metre square complex blazed in the background (see Image 1).

  • Thailand's Internal Nation Branding
    Petra Desatova, Nordic Institute of Asian Studies CHAPTER 4: THAILAND’S INTERNAL NATION BRANDING In commercial branding, ambassadorship is considered a crucial feature of the branding process since customers’ perceptions of a product or a service are shaped through the contact with the employees who represent the brand. Many companies thus invest heavily into internal branding to make sure that every employee ‘lives the brand’ thereby boosting their motivation and morale and creating eager brand ambassadors.1 The need for internal branding becomes even more imperative when it comes to branding nations as public support is vital for the new nation brand to succeed. Without it, nation branding might easily backfire. For example, the Ukrainian government was forced to abandon certain elements of its new nation brand following fierce public backlash.2 The importance of domestic support, however, goes beyond creating a favourable public opinion on the new nation brand. As Aronczyk points out, the nation’s citizens need to ‘perform attitudes and behaviours that are compatible with the brand strategy’ should this strategy succeed. This is especially the case when the new nation brand does not fully reflect the reality on the ground as nation branding often produces an airbrushed version rather than a truthful reflection of the nation, its people, and socio-political and economic conditions. Although some scholars are deeply sceptical about governments’ ability to change citizens’ attitudes and behaviours through nation branding, we should not ignore such attempts.3 This chapter examines Thailand’s post-coup internal nation branding efforts in the education, culture, public relations and private sectors: what were the political motivations behind these efforts? I argue that the NCPO was using internally focused nation branding to diffuse virtue across Thai society in preparation for the post-Bhumibol era.

  • Getting to DTC and Around Bangkok
    From Hat Yai there are direct busses to Bangkok. Most busses from Laos originate in Vientiane and cross the Mekong River to the Thai border town of NongKhai, where it is possible to arrange for a bus transfer to Bangkok. The primary route on a Cambodian bus to Thailand is across the border at the respective towns of Poipet and Aranyaprathet. From Aranyaprathet one can easily arrange bus or minibus transport to Bangkok. For more information visit: www.airportthai.com www.suvarnabhumiairport.com www.railway.co.th www.transport.co.th Getting to DTC and around Bangkok Airport Rail Link From Suvarnabhumi Airport, there are several ways for you to get into town. Airport Rail Link is the fastest way to take you into town. Currently, there are 7 local stations with two major stations with airport check-in counter: Phaya Thai Station and Makkasan Station. The closest station to the college is Hua Mak Station which you would have to take other public transportations to and from the station and the college. Thus, it is recommended that you take either our hotel pick-up service or a taxi directly from the airport. 8 Taxi All 30,000+ taxis cruising Bangkok city streets are metered and are required by law to use them. If a taxi offers you a fixed-price fare, politely ask to use the meter. If not, then flag down another taxi. In general, parked taxis will ask for fixed fares while those already driving will generally use the meter. Taxis using the meter charge a minimum of 35 baht for the first 3 kilometers.
