In Thailand ist es gar nicht so schwer, solche Traumorte zu finden. Unsere Artikel auf den Seiten 10 und 20 berichten davon.* Dass man die schönste Zeit des Jahres nicht nur für einen schönen Teint, sondern für einen ganzheitlich gesunden Körper nutzen kann, davon handeln unsere Artikel auf den Seiten 14 und 16. Denn die thailändische Küche ist nicht nur unglaublich schmackhaft, sondern auch sehr nahr- haft und gesund. Eine traditionelle Thaimassage oder ein Yoga-Retreat bringen darüber hinaus Leib und Seele wieder in Einklang. Ein magischer Ort ist Thailands Unterwasserwelt. Riesenmantas, Meeres- schildkröten und ausgedehnte Korallenriffe lassen sich im glasklaren Was- ser leicht beobachten – selbst, wenn man bisher keine Taucherfahrung hat. An den Küsten gibt es viele kundige Tauchschulen, die übrigens nicht nur auf fachliche Anleitung wert legen, sondern auch auf den verantwortungs- bewussten Umgang mit der fragilen Schönheit (Artikel auf S. 23). Auch und gerade Elefanten verdienen eine respektvolle Behandlung durch den Menschen. Daher stellen wir auf Seite 18 einen Ort vor, der mehrfach als Thailands tierfreundlichstes Elefantencamp ausgezeichnet wurde. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Sie das vorliegende Magazin zu einer wundervollen Thailandreise inspirieren würde und wünschen Ihnen schöne Urlaubserlebnisse. Herzlichst, Ihr Thailändisches Fremdenverkehrsamt *Mehr handverlesene Insidertipps finden Sie übrigens auf unserem be- liebtem Blog „Discover Amazing Stories“ (blog.thailandtourismus.de).

  • Romancing the War: Genre Memory and the Politics of Adaptation in Sun & Sunrise (2013)1
    Romancing the War: Genre Memory and the Politics of Adaptation in Sun & Sunrise (2013)1 Natthanai Prasannam2 Abstract This article analyzes the frequently revisited Thai filmic myth, Khu Karma (“star-crossed lovers”), in terms of genre memory and the politics of adaptation, with special reference to Sun & Sunrise (dir. Leo Kittikorn Liaosirikun, 2013). Since the launch of the film,Sun & Sunrise has faced a tremendous negative reception from devotees of the novel on which it was loosely based. They have complained that the new film has abandoned the conventional historicity of the “Khu Karma” myth to which previous adaptations were faithful. Sun & Sunrise retold the story as a teenpic, including many common features of that genre. By tailoring it to suchgenre, the film implies a relationship between marketing and the Thai star industry. However, Kittikorn’s Sun & Sunrise also exemplifies a capacity to combine a war film and a teenpic while making space for the triumph of the director’s signature theme: the ties between teenagers and violence. 1 This article is a part of the doctoral thesis titled,“Mnemonic Communities: Politics of World War II Memory in Thai Screen Culture” at the University of St Andrews, United Kingdom. The research for this article was partially funded by the Empowering for International Thai and ASEAN Studies (ENITAS), Institute of Thai Studies, Chulalongkorn University. The author would like to thank Matthew Reeder for his kind and keen reading of this article. 2 Associate Professor, Department of Literature, Faculty

I worked with the “Consortium” organization under the administrative of UNHCR. The camp was at Phanat Nikhom, Chonburi, Thailand. I had good social relationship with all of my refugee students in the camp with all clans, tribes and countries. Especially for the Khmers, I learnt Khmer language and Khmer dance. I was fascinated with their arts so much. Apart from this, I took my Ph.D. topic from one part of my previous M.A. thesis “Some aspect of Buddhist arts in Thailand”. Its chapter “Lopburi art” helped me very much to make further studies on details of my present work on this Ph.D. thesis. I am proud of my work and give very much gratitude and my thanks to many persons. I must express my thanks and my gratitude to my re- spected supervisor Professor Dr. Sahai Sachchidanand, Head of the Department of Ancient Indian and Asian Studies, Magadh University, Bodh-Gaya, Bihar (India) who very kindly allowed me to take up this thesis. Besides, he with full attention pours out his scholarship and his knowledge and gave me the benefit of many sug- gestions for my Ph.D.

  • A Meeting of Masks a Meeting of Masks
    Living high and low in modern Bangkok VORNG SOPHORNTAVY Beneath the protest marches, rallies and sieges dividing Thailand in recent times are more subtle pressures that emerge from everyday encounters involving cultural notions of rank and hierarchy. These are the focus of this highly accessible ethnographic study, which ventures beyond the barricades to explore the connections be- tween inequality, space and social life in modern-day Bangkok. A MEETING OF MASKS A Meeting The author argues that the notion of an urban–rural divide obscures a far more complex reality linking city and countryside in reciprocal relations within both urban and national systems of sta- tus and class. Global market forces have increased the emphasis on of Masks material wealth in contemporary status relations and exacerbated pre-existing inequalities informed by a premodern system of status ranking called sakdina. This has compounded the challenges facing Status, Power and Hierarchy the growing urban middle classes and further marginalised rural and economically disadvantaged Thais. in Bangkok For Bangkok’s middle classes, pursuing aspirations and con- structing class identity involve negotiating a competitive social hierarchy based on status display and conspicuous consumption practices. Much of this is enacted in urban spaces such as shopping malls. Yet, access to opportunities and upward social mobility are often thwarted by an entrenched and unjust system of patronage and elite privilege. The resulting tensions have been exploited to tremendous effect in the ongoing political power struggle. About the author: Educated in Australia, Sophorntavy Vorng is an anthropologist and postdoctoral research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity in Germany.

  • Cultural Tourism Route of Thai Way of Life Along Bangkok Canal. Tinikan Prakraiwan
    Frontispiece: Cultural Tourism Route of Thai Way of Life along Bangkok Canal. Tinikan Prakraiwan Cultural Tourism Route of Thai Way of Life along Bangkok Canal 6 Tinikan Prakraiwan * Abstract The term Bangkok Canal is used to refer to three adjoining canals which have been central to the lifestyles of Thai people associated with the river for hundreds of years. To understand something of the way of life of Thai people, tourists can experience these canals via a cultural tourism route. This research thus focused on developing an in-depth understanding of places related to Bangkok Canal, their significant values and how these should be interpreted for tourists. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used to collect data from the area. In-depth data of historical, physical, economic and socio-cultural aspects were collected from secondary research and by direct observation. The study confirms that the Bangkok Canal has the potential to be an important cultural tourism route because it comprises high value cultural attributes such as temples, communities, houses and floating markets. These key elements represent the way of life of people from the past to the present. In order to develop the Bangkok Canal into a cultural tourism route, all of these key characteristics must be preserved. The author recommends several tourism routes and activities including proposals for a boat tour, walking tour, bicycle tour and a combined tour, designed according to interpretation principles, to enable visitors to experience the attractions of the Bangkok Canal waterfront area and to enjoy their visit. * Independent scholar.
