The Emergence of Proto-Entrepreneurial Groups in the City of Ayutthaya During the 17Th-18Th Centuries*
The Emergence of Proto-entrepreneurial Groups in the City of Ayutthaya During the 17th-18th Centuries* Warangkana Nibhatsukit Abstract This article attempts to view the emergence of proto- entrepreneurs, groups of people whose social and political status were achieved as a result of commercial wealth, in the society of Ayutthaya. As Kings and nobilities needed trading experts to cope with international trade expansion, resident foreigners and mestizos were able to utilize their skill, and came to dominate commercial activities of Siam. Some outstanding merchants were drawn into the court of Siam and appointed officials while other maintained their wealth and economic strength by making close connections with high-rank nobles and officials. This consequence of social changes in context of economic changes during the 17th-18th centuries significantly reveals the emergence of proto-entrepreneurial groups who were forerunners of the bourgeoisie in Ratanakosin Era. Proto-entrepreneurial groups can be categorized into four groups: the private merchants and tax farmers in Ayutthaya, the trading expert officials and the court merchants, the traders and peddlers, and the local officials. * As part of the Ph.D. dissertation “Trade-related Groups in Ayutthaya Society, 1629-1767”, this article couldn’t have been possible without considerable helps and valuable guidance from Dr. Dhiravat Na Bombejra, my advisor, and Associate Professor Dr. Dhida Saraya, my co-advisor. The Emergence of Proto-entrepreneurial Groups 92 in the City of Ayutthaya During the 17th-18th Centuries U U ndertaking various commercial ventures on private capital and for lucrative purposes, proto-entrepreneurs became visible in Siam during the Ayutthaya Period around the 17th century due to the kings’ attempt to sustain political and economic stability, and the rising demand for forest products from outside markets. -

During the period when Ayutthaya was capital, 33 kings and several dynasties ruled the kingdom, until the glittering city was sacked by the Burmese in 1767, ruined and abandoned.

The Origin and Significance of the Emerald Buddha
The Origin and Significance of the Emerald Buddha Explorations in Southeast Asian Studies A Journal of the Southeast Asian Studies Student Association Vol 3 Fall 1999 Contents Article 1 Article 2 Article 3 Article 4 The Origin and Significance of the Emerald Buddha Eric Roeder >Eric Roeder is an M.A. candidate in the department of Asian Studies at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. he is spending the 1999-2000 academic year examining the educational opportunities for the physical handicapped within Thailand Notes The Emerald Buddha is known as 'the palladium of Thai society'. Located on the grounds of the Grand Palace and situated within Wat Phra Keo, The Emerald Buddha watches over the Thai nation. Yet the image's history continues to reveal very little. Fable, myth, legend and fact intermingle, creating a morass for those who study the Emerald Buddha. While the Buddha is often mentioned in texts about Thailand, surprisingly little is written about it in great length. Beyond the image's origins in documented history, the Emerald Buddha has traveled widely. This paper will look at the mythical origins of the Emerald Buddha as recorded in The Chronicle of the Emerald Buddha and other sources, then trace its history in Thailand beginning from its first appearance in the town of Chieng Rai. Upon its discovery in Chieng Rai, the Emerald Buddha became much coveted. The image moved throughout the region, from Chieng Rai to Lampang, Chieng Mai, Luang Prabang, Vientiane, Thonburi, and finally, to its present location in Bangkok. More than just a spoil of battle, the Emerald Buddha was believed to bring legitimacy and prosperity to all those who possess it. -
