Andreas Sturm 2 VV Abstract This thesis presents an overview over the history of the concepts ofnation and nationalism in Thailand. Based on the ethno-symbolist approach to the study of nationalism, this thesis proposes to see the Thai nation as a result of a long process, reflecting the three-phases-model (ethnie , pre-modem and modem nation) for the potential development of a nation as outlined by Anthony Smith. -

Review article on Jeremias van Vliet, The Short History of the Kings of Siam, JSS LXIV, 2 (July 1976), pp. 207-236. Jeremias van Vliet, The Short History of the Kings of Siam, translated by Leonard Andaya from a transcription by Miriam J Verkuijl-van den Berg, edited by David K Wyatt, Bangkok, The Siam Society, 1975 iv, 97 pp. For a number of years historians concerned with early Ayutthaya have been aware that a chronicle version older than anything else extant had been compiled in Dutch by the early 17th-century VOC representative in Ayutthaya, Jeremias van Vliet, and its publication has been eagerly awaited for light it might shed on points which remain obscure in other texts. Now The Siam Society has provided in very attractive format a transcription of van Vliet’s original text with an English translation and a certain number of notes on the historiographic problems of the text and its relationship to other sources1. Van Vliet’s chronicle begins with a very interesting version of the history of the peninsula and lower Menam basin before the founding of Ayutthaya. Here van Vliet relates several stories which were current concerning the first king of Siam in ancient times - that he was a son of a Chinese emperor and had come to the peninsula abut 2000 years before, that he was a brahman named Phrommathep, and that Siam was founded by the Buddha himself. A long time later, about 300 years before van Vliet’s day, another son of a Chinese ruler, Chao Ui, arrived on the peninsula and became the Thao U Thong who founded Ayutthaya. -
Sports in Pre-Modern and Early Modern Siam: Aggressive and Civilised Masculinities
Sports in Pre-Modern and Early Modern Siam: Aggressive and Civilised Masculinities Charn Panarut A thesis submitted in fulfilment of The requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology and Social Policy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2018 Statement of Authorship This dissertation is the copyrighted work of the author, Charn Panarut, and the University of Sydney. This thesis has not been previously submitted for any degree or other objectives. I certify that this thesis contains no documents previously written or published by anyone except where due reference is referenced in the dissertation itself. i Abstract This thesis is a contribution to two bodies of scholarship: first, the historical understanding of the modernisation process in Siam, and in particular the role of sport in the gradual pacification of violent forms of behaviour; second, one of the central bodies of scholarship used to analyse sport sociologically, the work of Norbert Elias and Eric Dunning on sport and the civilising process. Previous studies of the emergence of a more civilised form of behaviour in modern Siam highlight the imitation of Western civilised conducts in political and sporting contexts, largely overlooking the continued role of violence in this change in Siamese behaviour from the pre- modern to modern periods. This thesis examines the historical evidence which shows that, from around the 1900s, Siamese elites engaged in deliberate projects to civilise prevalent non-elites’ aggressive conducts. This in turn has implications for the Eliasian understanding of sports and civilising process, which emphasises their unplanned development alongside political and economic changes in Europe, at the expense of grasping the deliberate interventions of the Siamese elites. -

Straddling the Chao Phraya River, the nation’s principal waterway, the province is extremely important, as it was the Siamese capital for four centuries. The city of Ayutthaya is 76 km. north of Bangkok and boasts numerous magnificent ruins from its days as the capital. Just to the south, in perfect condition, stands the royal palace of Bang Pa-in set in splendid gardens. The province is also noted for H.M. the Queen’s Bang Sai Arts and Crafts Centre. The ancient city of Ayutthaya, formally designated Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya was the Thai capital for 417 years, and is one of Thailand’s major tourist attractions. Many ancient ruins and art works can be seen in a city that was founded in 1350 by King U-Thong when the Thais were forced southwards by northern neighbours. 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 extensive ruins and the historical records demonstrate that Ayutthaya was one of Southeast Asia’s most prosperous cities. -
Thai Kingship During the Ayutthaya Period : a Note on Its Divine Aspects Concerning Indra*
Thai Kingship during the Ayutthaya Period : A Note on Its Divine Aspects Concerning Indra* Woraporn Poopongpan Abstract This article is an initial attempt to highlight the divine aspects of Thai kingship during the Ayutthaya period, the interesting characteristic of which was an association of the king’s divinity with the Buddhist and Brahman god, Indra. Thai concept of the king’s divinity was identified closely with many Brahman gods such as Narayana, Rama or Siva (Isuan) but the divine aspects concerning Indra had a special place in Thai intellectual thinking as attested by ceremonies associated with the kingship recorded in Palatine Law and other sources. Thai kingship associated with Indra was reflected in the following elements: 1. The Royal ceremonies 2. The names of Indra’s residences 3. The number of the king’s consorts The article concludes that the emphasis on the king’s divine being as Indra derived not only from the influence of Brahmanism on the Thai society but more importantly from the high status of Indra in Buddhist belief. This can be easily understood since Buddhism is the main religion of Thai society. While some aspects * This article is based on the PhD dissertation “The Palatine Law as a source for Thai History from Ayutthaya period to 1805”, Submitted to the Department of History, Chulalongkorn University. It would not have been possible without considerable helps and valuable guidance from Dr. Dhiravat na Pombejra, my advisor, and all kind helps from Miss Apinya Odthon, my close friend.

Uma Amizade Duradoura: Over 500 Years of Enduring Friendship1 Towards the 1518 Pact
Uma Amizade Duradoura: Over 500 Years of Enduring Friendship1 HE Francisco Vaz Patto Ambassador of Portugal to the Kingdom of Thailand Abstract—In 1518, Siam and Portugal concluded a pact of friendship and trade. This article, reviewing the enduring relationship between the two countries, is based on a lecture given to celebrate the five hundred year anniversary of this pact. First of all, let me clarify that I am not a historian, but merely someone very interested in the history of our long, unique and enduring friendship—a friendship that is sometimes forgotten and sometimes exaggerated. Thus, I will be telling this story not as an expert or historical researcher, but simply as an interested observer. I have tried to be as accurate as possible; however, I am sure there will be different interpretations of this period and of the bilateral relations between Portugal and the Kingdom of Thailand (formerly Siam). I hope that I will be able to contribute something positive in order to clarify and reinforce our bilateral relations. I will start by presenting an overview of the events leading up to the Pact of Friendship and Trade that we commemorated last year. Then, I will try to explore the many ways that the peaceful, long-lasting and enduring relationship between our two nations has impacted both Portuguese and Thai history, commerce and culture until the present day. Towards the 1518 Pact In 1511, Afonso de Albuquerque, Portuguese Viceroy of India, sent Duarte Fernandes to lead the first Portuguese embassy to Siam in the name of D. Manuel I, King of Portugal. -

Strach III Dedicated to Khun Phanida For the many sacrifices made, And endless support given, I am eternally indebted 111 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is impossible to adequately thank all those who have assisted me in this undertaking. First I would like to thank two ofmy colleagues, Shay MacKenzie for his guidance, intellect, and editing skills, and Alan Goodman for his incredible insight and information on the Narai period. Additionally, I appreciate the assistance I received from Watcharapon Towtong, Sawanee Akarawattanamatee, and Suparat Rubusai ofthe Siam Society. Mr. Wibool Janyam from the Rajabhat Institute in Lopburi, made sure I met the necessary people and during my first trip to Lopburi took me around to see places Phaulkon would have visited. Jean-Claude Gerakis and Panagis Gerakis provided me with considerable information on the origins oftheir famous forbearer. This allowed insight into the period ofPhaulkon from a personal perspective. Kennon Breazeale, from the East-West Center, deserves thanks for imparting some ofhis knowledge and wealth of source material on me. Dirk van der Cruysse for his help with primary European sources regarding Phaulkon's background. I have benefited immensely from the support and patience ofmy teachers at the University ofHawaii.
