  • Business Etiquette, Language & Culture
    Business etiquette, language & culture Page 1 of 5 Business etiquette, language & culture Overview Khmer is the official language of Cambodia and is used by roughly 90% of the population. Due to the past colonial rule by France, a number of French words exist in the language. However, English is not widely understood, particularly amongst the older generation and in rural areas. Business cards should be translated into Cambodian and printed in English on one side and Cambodian on the other. Use the services of a professional translator (rather than translating online) – a list of translators and interpreters has been prepared by the British Embassy Phnom Penh for the convenience of British Nationals who may require these services and assistance in Cambodia, at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cambodia-list-of-translators-and- interpreters. As in China, business cards should be given and received with both hands and studied carefully. This is particularly important when dealing with Cambodia’s ethnic Chinese minority, many of whom hold influential positions in the country’s business community. The Cambodian culture is conservative and hierarchical, and Theravada Buddhism is practiced by 95% of the population. Followers adhere to the concept of collectivism – the idea that the family, neighbourhood and society is more important than the wishes of the individual – and as in many Asian cultures the sense of ‘face’ is also considered paramount. Consequently you should avoid causing public embarrassment, not lose your temper in public and strive to maintain a sense of harmony. As a sign of respect for western customs, handshakes are the norm between men, but it is not uncommon to greet women with the “Sampeah” – the placing of palms together in a prayer-like position at chest level, with a slight bow of the head.

  • The Royal Barge Suphannahong (16/8/2019)
    The Royal Barge Suphannahong (16/8/2019) Known worldwide as a masterpiece of Thai cultural heritage, the Royal Barge Suphannahong is the principal barge and has taken center place in the Royal Barge Procession since the Ayutthaya period. It is shaped to resemble a golden swan. The name Suphannahong refers to the swan-like mythical steed of the Hindu god Brahma. The barge is made from a single teak trunk, with the surface pattered through wood carving, covered in lacquer painting technique, inlaid with glass mosaic and gilded all over. A spire-shaped edifice or a tier-roofed pavilion sheltering the throne of the King is carried mid-ship. During the Rattanakosin period, King Rama I ordered the Royal Barge Suphannahong built soon after his accession to the throne in 1782. The barge was in constant use as the principal royal barge until it became too old to be repaired. King Rama VI then commanded the construction of the new Royal Barge Suphannahong, which is 15.6 tons in weight, 44.90 meters in length, 3.14 meters at the beam, and 0.90 meters in depth. The new Royal Barge Suphannahong was launched on 13 November 1911 and has been used ever since. It is well-maintained and kept in good operational condition by the Fine Arts Department and the Royal Thai Navy. In the reign of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, the barge Suphannahong was commissioned as the Royal Barge of His Majesty the King in the Royal Barge Procession on the occasion of presenting Kathin robes to Buddhist monks at Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) and for other important royal ceremonies, such as the Royal Ceremony in Celebration of the Bangkok Bicentennial in 1982.

  • Thailand Festival 2019
    THAILAND FESTIVAL 2019 NATIONAL HOLIDAYS Thailand uses two different calendars alongside each other: the Thai solar calendar, based on the Gregorian calendar, used for official and in daily life, and the Thai lunar calendar, used for traditional events and Buddhist religious practices. NEW YEAR’S DAY 1 January 2019 Thailand celebrates three different new years in a year, based on three different calendars: Thai solar calendar, Chinese lunar calendar, and Thai lunar calendar. The first day of the Gregorian year is celebrated as a national holiday in Thailand. CHINESE LUNAR NEW YEAR’S DAYS 5 February 2019 Based on the Chinese lunar calendar, the beginning of the Chinese lunar year is celebrated in the Chinatowns of every city throughout Thailand. There will be various performance on the street and activities and rituals that people do based on Chinese traditions throughout the first few days of the Chinese lunar year and even prior the new year day. However, it is not marked as national holiday. MAKHA BUCHA DAY 19 February 2019 Marked as a national holiday, Makha Bucha celebrates the Buddha’s first sermon into his disciples when the main Buddhist principles were first set out. It is always held on the full moon of the third lunar month in the Thai Lunar Calendar; therefore, the actual date differs from year to year. In Thailand, any day with a full moon (known in Thai as Wan Phra) is regarded as auspicious, and many Thai people will visit their local temple on those days. In the morning, Thai people will wake up early to give alms to monks.

  • 339 Chapter Six Three Royal Wats Through the Turmoil
    CHAPTER SIX THREE ROYAL WATS THROUGH THE TURMOIL OF NATIONALIST GOVERNMENTS AND DICTATOR REGIMES (1910-1957) Introduction In the previous chapter, we saw how the royal wats lost their sources of direct state support, resulting in their dependence on rent revenues derived from their donated land and their abbots became responsible for their physical condition. Real estate properties of wats became the key for their survival, and the royal government also supported them to be independent entities in the market economy. In this chapter, we will see the increasing gap between the government and the Buddhist monastic order. This was especially the case after King Vajiravudh appointed his uncle and preceptor, Prince Wachirayan as the Supreme Patriarch, whose control of monastic affairs included urging wats to manage and invest in their land properties. Moreover, he also developed strategies to increase the Buddhist religious central assets, with the aim of making the Buddhist monastic order more independent from the state. He also created primary schools and Buddhist standard texts and promoted monastic practices which supported the unity of the nation in keeping with King Vajiravudh’s ultra-nationalist ideology. In this reign, the wats and monks were separated from the management of public education. Moreover, the king did not support any new construction or preservation of the royal wats as previous rulers had in the past. Therefore, royal wats lost their prominent role in society and state affairs, but at the same time they gained significant financial stability in terms of their private investment. After the bloodless revolution in 1932, King Prachathipok (Rama VII) became a constitutional monarch and the People’s Party comprised of lower ranking officials took control of the kingdom.

  • History of the Royal Barges a Timeless Tradition
    History of the Royal Barges a timeless tradition By Eric Lim The history of the royal barges dates back to the Sukhothai era in the 13th century when the first royal barges were reportedly seen. It's a traditional royal ceremony that has retained all the pomp and grandeur over the centuries in Thailand. The barges were originally troop carriers at a time when it was more expedient to transport troops into battle along rivers. As life in Thailand then was so intimately linked to the river, these barges were also used for religious and ceremonial purposes. During the Ayutthaya era between the 14th - 18th centuries, the royal barge ceremonies flourished particularly during the reigns of King Naresuan and King Narai. King Naresuan (1590 – 1605 AD) named his personal barge Suphannahongsa, the golden swan or hamsa, the mythical steed of Hindu God Brahma and started the first generation of this famous royal barge. Since then, this has been the name of the King's personal barge. Two more versions have been built since. In the reign of King Narai, the Royal Barge Procession became more elaborate and one such procession had more than 100 vessels. Unfortunately all this came to an abrupt end in 1767 when the Burmese sacked Ayutthaya and destroyed all the barges. It was a sad period in the history of the Royal Barges. The Thonburi era (1767 – 1782) under King Taksin saw a reemergence of royal barge activity. During his reign the Emerald Buddha was brought from Vientiane to Ayutthaya. A hundred and fifteen barges went to Ayutthaya to receive this holy statue and bring it back to Bangkok.
