  • Chinese Temples in Bangkok Sources of Data for 19Th-Century Sino-Thai Communities
    25 Chinese Temples in Bangkok Sources of Data for 19th-Century Sino-Thai Communities ChuimeiHo* 1. Introduction Modem Chinese communities in Thailand have been the subject of extensive research by social scientists and historians (e.g., Landon 1941; Skinner 1957, 1958; Coughlin 1960; Purcell 1951). Much empirical data has been collected regarding Chinese ethnic groups in 20th-century Thai society, but not nearly as much hard data has been made available for the study of the Chinese in Bangkok during the 19th century. The numerous observations by European travelers are too sketchy for serious analysis and contemporary Thai and Chinese documentary sources seem to be very rare. However, rich epigraphic data from the last two centuries survives within the Chinese community in Thailand. Much of this is still on public display inside Chinese temples and ancestral halls. Elsewhere in Southeast Asia, much Chinese epigraphic material has been compiled by historians (e.g., Chen & Tan 1970; Chen 1977; Franke & Chen 1982-87). Some I scholars have incorporated such material into broader studies of overseas Chinese culture (e.g., Salmon & Lombard 1977 for Jakarta). But in Thailand, no comprehensive survey of temple inscriptions has yet been published, apart from some of Franke's work (1976; 1991).1 In deed, researchers generally have not paid much attention to Chinese temples in Thailand. Among the few exceptions are Skinner (1957:84,138 and Coughlin (1960:94-100).2 In 1990 and 1991, the author visited twenty-eight Chinese temples3 as well as one Chinese and five Vietnamese Mahayana monasteries4 in Bangkok (Table 1: Fig.l ).5 These included all of the temples in Sampheng, Bangkok's traditional Chinatown, and several others in Thon Buri on the other side of the Chao Phraya River.

Katong/Joo Chiat has its beginnings in the early 19th Century where coconut plantations stretching from Geylang River to Siglap Road and humble attap-roofed kampung (villages) dotted the landscape. Up to the 1950s, the area was an idyllic seaside retreat for the wealthy. Joo Chiat Road was a simple dirt track running through the plantations from Geylang Serai to the sea in the 1920s. It was named after Chew Joo Chiat, a wealthy land-owner and philanthropist, who bought over large plots of land in Katong and was known as the “King of Katong”. In the 1920s and 1930s, many communities moved eastward out of the city centre to make Katong/Joo Chiat their home. This resulted in bungalows, shophouses and places of worship being built, a reflection of the multi- cultural and varied Katong/Joo Chiat community. The rebuilding of the nation after World War II and the independence of Singapore, transformed the façade of Katong/Joo Chiat. To retain its rich architecture and heritage, over 800 buildings in the area have been conserved.

  • Fact Sheet Half Day Tour (5Hours) Damnoen Saduak
    FACT SHEET HALF DAY (5 HOURS) AROUND KOH SAMUI TOUR Samui, Thailand What to expect Koh Samui is home to many great sights, including the island’s Big Buddha statue; sitting 15 metres tall, it is a monumental landmark on the island. Here you can also check out the natural rock formations known as Grandma and Grandpa and visit the spectacular NuMuang Waterfall. VIsit Koh Samui’s Guan Yu shrines, representing loy- alty, righteousness, bravery and honesty among the Chinese people. What you will do The first stop is Big Buddha temple; a large statue of Lord Buddha image dominating the hill top of a small island which can be reached by walking up the steps to the big gallery for the surrounding bird’s eye view. Next stop is at a marvelously strange natural forma- tion, known as Grandma and Grandpa; the rocks have been fashioned by the elements into massive sculptures, resulting in a lot of humorous interest from tourists. Next, visit Guan Yu Koh Samui shrine; the most recent addition to the island’s sightseeing destina- tions. The shrine is a celebration of Chinese heritage and is dedicated to Guan Yu, a leg- endary warrior who died almost 2,000 years ago. The Guan Yu monument is 16 metres in height, making it the biggest of its kind in Thailand. Visit Wat Kunaram to pay respect to the mummified body of Luang Por Daeng; who died more than 30 years ago in a sitting position of meditation, and has remained relatively unchanged ever since. We stop at Na Muang 1 Waterfall and admire the impressive drop of 18 metres cascading down to a natural pool below.

  • Bangkok's Population and the Ministry of the Capital in Early 20Th Century Thai History
    Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 35, No.2, September 1997 Bangkok's Population and the Ministry of the Capital in Early 20th Century Thai History Porphant OUYYANONT* Abstract This paperexplores two related themes in Bangkok's development. Population growth, though lower in absolute terms than sometimes suggested, grew rapidly from the 1880s. This put pressure for administrative change, and one result was the formation of the Ministry of the Capital in 1892. I Introduction Although founded as late as 1782, Bangkok was soon established as the country's leading urban centre. Of course, the emergence of a clearly identifiable geographically delineated, country of Siam was a slow progress. But even though we cannot strictly speak of a nation in early 19th century Siam, it is clear that by around 1820, Bangkok surpassed other Thai-speaking centres in terms of size and commercial significance. We might even speak of "primacy," although this was as much a product of the small size of provincial centres as it was of Bangkok's eminence. As other scholars have noted, estimates of population sizes in early 19th century Siam, whether ofBangkok, provincial centres, regions, orthewhole country are very speculative. Interpreting even the scattered estimateswe have is fraught with difficulty. Skinner andTerwiel showthat contempo­ rary accounts varied widely. Forexample, Bangkok's population in 1822 was estimated byCrawfurd at 50,000, in 1826 byMalloch at 134,090, in 1828 bySchuunnanat410,000, in 1828 byTomlin at 77,300, in 1835 byDean at 505,000, in 1839 by Malcom at 100,000, in 1843 by Neal at 350,000, in 1849 by Malloch at 160,154, in 1854 by Pallegoix at 404,000, and in 1855 by Bowring at 300,000 [Skinner 1957: 81 ; Terwiel 1989: 226].
