Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2016 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Since the 2006 coup d'état, Thailand has been riven by two opposing political visions: one which aspires to a modern democracy and the rule of law, and another which holds to the traditional conception of a kingdom ruled by an exemplary Buddhist monarch. Thailand has one of the world's largest populations of observant Buddhists and one of its last politically active monarchies. This book examines the Theravada Buddhist foundations of Thailand's longstanding institution of monarchy. Patrick Jory states that the storehouse of monarchical ideology is to be found in the popular literary genre known as the Jātakas, tales of the Buddha's past lives. The best-known of these, the Vessantara Jātaka, disseminated an ideal of an infinitely generous prince as a bodhisatta or future Buddha—an ideal which remains influential in Thailand today. Using primary and secondary source materials largely unknown in Western scholarship, Jory traces the history of the Vessantara Jātaka and its political-cultural importance from the ancient to the modern period. Although pressures from European colonial powers and Buddhist reformers led eventually to a revised political conception of the monarchy, the older Buddhist ideal of kingship has yet endured.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Thailand written by Gerald W. Fry and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout its history, Thailand has shown remarkable resiliency, adaptability, and creativity in responding to serious threats and crises, and this since much earlier times when it was known as Siam. This book, while focusing on the modern period, does reach back to ancient kingdoms but also shows the impressive rise to a modern democracy, although still endowed with a king, and even more impressively, an economic “tiger.” Moreover, it has become a prime tourist destination and is thus known to vast numbers of foreigners as a sort of “instant Asia.” The Historical Dictionary of Thailand, now in its third edition, covers this amazing story in various ways. First, the chronology traces the most significant events from year to year. The introduction then provides a good overview of the land and people, the history and traditions, and where it now seems to be heading. The dictionary, which by now has hundreds of detailed and cross-referenced entries, looks more closely at important persons, places, institutions and events as well as more generally its politics, economy, society, culture and religion. So this is an excellent reference work not only for scholars but many others who have visited the country and were fascinated by it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prince Chula Chakrabongse of Thailand was born in Bangkok in 1908. After the death of his father, Prince Chakrabongse, in 1920, he was sent to be educated in the United Kingdom where he attended Harrow School and later read history at Cambridge. However, it was his childhood in the Grand Palace and his close relationship with the Thai royal family and government in the early 20th century, that made him uniquely suitable for writing the history of the Chakri dynasty, who ruled Siam (subsequently known as Thailand) until the change of regime in 1932. During Prince Chula's research, he had access to unpublished royal letters, archives and documents of all kinds and, as a grandson of King Chulalongkorn, had personal knowledge of many of the leading figures in his story. Although interpretations of the early period of Thai history may have moved on, the core part of the book remains valid and fascinating. It is appropriate that 50 years after Prince Chula's death, "Lords of Life - A History of the Kings of Thailand" has been reissued. In this completely revised edition, the text remains the same but there are over 250 new photographs and a wealth of footnotes, together with a new introduction by B. J. Terwiel, a renowned historian of Thailand's political history. AUTHOR: Prince Chula Chakrabongse of Thailand was born in Bangkok in 1908, grandson of the much loved and revered King Chulalongkorn, Rama V of Siam. After the death of his father, Prince Chakrabongse, in 1920, he was sent to be educated in the United Kingdom where he attended Harrow School and later read history at Cambridge, he didn't return to Siam until he was 23. Prince Chula was the author of several books, including a history of the Chakri dynasty, "Lords of Life: the paternal monarchy of Bangkok, 1782 1932", a biography of the Mercedes Benz grand prix champion entitled "Dick Seaman: A Racing Champion" and his own autobiography: "The Twain Have Met: An Eastern Prince Came West." Prince Chula died of cancer in 1963 at the age of 55. SELLING POINTS: The history of the Chakri dynasty, rulers of Siam until the change of regime in 1932, written by Prince Chula Chakrabongse One of the most respected and widely recognised books in Thailand, now available in an updated version to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Prince Chula's death 200 b/w illustrations

Download or read book The King Never Smiles written by Paul M. Handley and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thailand's Bhumibol Adulyadej, the only king ever born in the United States, came to the throne of his country in 1946 and is now the world's longest-serving monarch. This book tells the unexpected story of his life and 60-year rule: how a Western-raised boy came to be seen by his people as a living Buddha; and how a king widely seen as beneficent and apolitical could in fact be so deeply political, autocratic, and even brutal. Paul Handley provides an extensively researched, factual account of the king's youth and personal development, ascent to the throne, skilful political maneuverings, and attempt to shape Thailand as a Buddhist kingdom. Blasting apart the widely accepted image of the king as egalitarian and virtuous, Handley convincingly portrays an anti-democratic monarch who, together with allies in big business and the corrupt Thai military, has protected a centuries-old, barely-modified feudal dynasty. When at nineteen Bhumibol assumed the throne after the still-unsolved shooting of his brother, the Thai monarchy had been stripped of power and prestige. Over the ensuing decades, Bhumibol became the paramount political actor in the kingdom, crushing critics while attaining high status among his people. The book details this process and depicts Thailand's unique constitutional monarch in the full light of the facts.

Download or read book A History of Thailand written by Christopher John Baker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Thailand offers a lively and accessible account of Thailand's political, economic, social and cultural history. This book explores how a world of mandarin nobles and unfree peasants was transformed and examines how the monarchy managed the foundation of a new nation-state at the turn of the twentieth century. The authors capture the clashes between various groups in their attempts to take control of the nation-state in the twentieth century. They track Thailand's economic changes through an economic boom, globalisation and the evolution of mass society. This edition sheds light on Thailand's recent political, social and economic developments, covering the coup of 2006, the violent street politics of May 2010, and the landmark election of 2011 and its aftermath. It shows how in Thailand today, the monarchy, the military, business and new mass movements are players in a complex conflict over the nature and future of the country's democracy.
