    ISSUE: 2020 No. 127 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 6 November 2020 Youthquake Evokes the 1932 Revolution and Shakes Thailand’s Establishment Supalak Ganjanakhundee* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Grievance and frustration resulting from the government’s authoritarian style, its restrictions on freedom of expression and the dissolution of the Future Forward Party have been accumulating among students and youths in Thailand since the 2014 military coup. • While high school and college students are overwhelmingly represented among participants in the ongoing protests, young people from various other sectors across the country have also joined the demonstrations. • The flash-mob style of demonstration is a venting of anger against the political system, expressed in calls for the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha, a new Constitution and, more importantly, reform of the Thai monarchy. • The protests are a flashback to the 1932 Revolution, in that they are conveying the message that ordinary people, not the traditional establishment, own the country and have the legitimate right to determine its future course. • In response, the crown and the royalists are using traditional methods of smears and labels to counteract the youths. * Supalak Ganjanakhundee was Visiting Fellow in the Thailand Studies Programme, ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute from 1 October 2019 to 30 June 2020. He is the former editor of The Nation (Bangkok). 1 ISSUE: 2020 No. 127 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION A number of Thais have gathered annually at Thammasat University’s Tha Phrachan campus and at the 14 October 1973 Memorial site on nearby Ratchadamnoen Avenue to commemorate the student uprising on that date which restored democracy to the country.

  • 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.
