  • Mon Buddhist Architecture in Pakkret District, Nonthaburi Province, Thailand During Thonburi and Rattanakosin Periods (1767-1932)
    MON BUDDHIST ARCHITECTURE IN PAKKRET DISTRICT, NONTHABURI PROVINCE, THAILAND DURING THONBURI AND RATTANAKOSIN PERIODS (1767-1932) Jirada Praebaisri* and Koompong Noobanjong Department of Industrial Education, Faculty of Industrial Education and Technology, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Bangkok 10520, Thailand *Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: October 3, 2018; Revised: February 22, 2019; Accepted: April 17, 2019 Abstract This research examines the characteristics of Mon Buddhist architecture during Thonburi and Rattanakosin periods (1767-1932) in Pakkret district. In conjunction with the oral histories acquired from the local residents, the study incorporates inquiries on historical narratives and documents, together with photographic and illustrative materials obtained from physical surveys of thirty religious structures for data collection. The textual investigations indicate that Mon people migrated to the Siamese kingdom of Ayutthaya in large number during the 18th century, and established their settlements in and around Pakkret area. Located northwest of the present day Bangkok in Nonthaburi province, Pakkret developed into an important community of the Mon diasporas, possessing a well-organized local administration that contributed to its economic prosperity. Although the Mons was assimilated into the Siamese political structure, they were able to preserve most of their traditions and customs. At the same time, the productions of their cultural artifacts encompassed many Thai elements as well, as evident from Mon Buddhist temples and monasteries in Pakkret. The stylistic analyses of these structures further reveal the following findings. First, their designs were determined by four groups of patrons: Mon laypersons, elite Mons, Thai Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Studies Vol.19(1): 30-58, 2019 Mon Buddhist Architecture in Pakkret District Praebaisri, J.

  • BANGKOK 101 Emporium at Vertigo Moon Bar © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © MBK Sirocco Sky Bar Chao Phraya Express Chinatown Wat Phra Kaew Wat Pho (P171)
    © Lonely Planet Publications 101 BANGKOK BANGKOK Bangkok In recent years, Bangkok has broken away from its old image as a messy third-world capital to be voted by numerous metro-watchers as a top-tier global city. The sprawl and tropical humidity are still the city’s signature ambassadors, but so are gleaming shopping centres and an infectious energy of commerce and restrained mayhem. The veneer is an ultramodern backdrop of skyscraper canyons containing an untamed universe of diversions and excesses. The city is justly famous for debauchery, boasting at least four major red-light districts, as well as a club scene that has been revived post-coup. Meanwhile the urban populous is as cosmopolitan as any Western capital – guided by fashion, music and text messaging. But beside the 21st-century façade is a traditional village as devout and sacred as any remote corner of the country. This is the seat of Thai Buddhism and the monarchy, with the attendant splendid temples. Even the modern shopping centres adhere to the old folk ways with attached spirit shrines that receive daily devotions. Bangkok will cater to every indulgence, from all-night binges to shopping sprees, but it can also transport you into the old-fashioned world of Siam. Rise with daybreak to watch the monks on their alms route, hop aboard a long-tail boat into the canals that once fused the city, or forage for your meals from the numerous and lauded food stalls.

    Eviction of the Middle Class & the New Role of Thai Buddhism: A Study of the Wang Lee Community, Bangkok.1 Pthomrerk Ketudhat Faculty of Sociology & Anthropology Thammasat University In Thai society, eviction is generally associated with slums and low-income city dwellers. The middle class, on the contrary, represents a well educated, more income stable, politically active and powerful social class. They are thought to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle and housing security. However, recent economic socio-political changes challenge such beliefs. This paper is an attempt to examine the struggle of a middle class community, Wang Lee, against eviction from its shop-house buildings rented three generations ago from the Yannawa Buddhist temple property. It then focuses on the organization, tactics and strategies of this community fighting for their tenant rights, contributing to an understanding of wider issues, concerning middle class social movements as agents of civil society with a role in the democratization of Thailand. In addition, it investigates the new social issues concerning the changing role of Buddhist institutions in relation with neighboring communities. Buddhism and Society It is widely accepted that Buddhist temples were once at the center of community in Thailand, contributing a wide variety of knowledge to their communities – from Buddhist philosophy, arts, and literacy to social science, medicine, and martial arts. Here I will trace the means by which this has shifted in the last century and a half; however, a brief sketch of how Buddhism has, and in some ways continues to, influence everyday life seems in order first. It is said that life of the Thai-Buddhist people use to revolve around Buddhist temples from birth to death.

  • Saphao: Lan Na Perception on a Journey Across the Ocean1
    Saphao: Lan Na Perception on a Journey Across the Ocean 1 Surasawasdi Sooksawasdi * Thai Art Department, Faculty of Fine Arts, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand *Corresponding author. E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract Saphao is a Lan Na word equivalent to the Central Thai samphao referring to a Chinese style ocean-going merchant ship or junk. There are many archaeological traces such as terracotta seals, medals and stucco motifs found in many sites in Thailand depicting the connection with India, the Jambūdvīpa, and Sri Lanka. Some of those present the journeys by one-mast vessels and also brigs. Several folk jatakas composed by Lan Na monks, as scholars, during the 15th - 16th Centuries A.D. referred to a journey made by samphao namely, Suwannasangaraja jātaka and Chanthakataka jātaka for example. Although the jātakas did not give any detailed description of the samphao and the journeys made by them, several Buddhist documents of several sects in Lan Na contain records of the trips made for the purpose of perpetuating Buddhism from its origin in Sri Lanka via such transportation as the samphao. 1 The 3rd Conference of South and Southeast Asian Association for the Study of Culture and Religion (SSEASR) on Waters in South and Southeast Asia: Interaction of Culture and Religion.
