Cities on the move: Countries that relocated their capitals and the reasons why
Sunday 8 September 2019, 03:00PM
Since World War I, the world has seen a country move its capital every five or six years. From Ka­zakhstan to Pakistan to Nigeria; for political gain, for environ­mental protection, for better, for worse. There’s something oddly fascinating and dramatic about the idea of capital moves, although they aren’t particularly uncommon.

In 1629 when King Songtham of Ayutthaya died, his cousin, Okya Kalahom (minister of defence), and his supporters effectively usurped the throne by killing King Songtham’s designated heir and placing King Songtham’s six-year-old son on the throne as King Chetha, with Okya Kalahom as his overseeing regent, which gave the ambitious defence minister real power over the kingdom.

Managing money is not an easy business in today’s world, and the past 40 years have truly seen a challenge for many middle-class peo­ple. Wage growth has been slow. More and more jobs are being automated. Many pensions have been eliminated almost altogether. Higher-education costs have gone up and health insurance benefits have gone down.

Melting pot: Luk kreung people in history and popular culture
Sunday 28 July 2019, 03:00PM
It’s been a while since I’ve explored the influence of luk kreung (i.e. half-Thai people) on popular cul­ture. Today it seems that a great number of part-Thai people are prominent in Thai popular cul­ture. However, this phenomenon is not new considering that the first luk kreung actors appeared in the 1940s to 1960s. This, nevertheless, is not widely known nowadays.

Since labour was such a scarce resource, slav­ery remained legal in Siam until 1905 and was integral to peninsular society. Hwang Chung, a visiting Chinese trader in the 16th century, reported that on the peninsular west coast the people said, “it is better to have slaves than to have land because [the labour of] slaves [is] a protection to their masters”.

Queen Khema’s exact royal status is somewhat hazy in ancient Buddhist records. Some Southeast Asian records imply that she may have been of royal birth. Other sources sometimes describe her as a queen. And there are other re­cords which document her as a consort.

If the stories of Queen Samavati and Queen Mal­lika in Trailblazers parts one and two taught us anything, it’s that the age of Buddhist kings was far more than just an age of great men. The age of Buddhist kings was equally an age of Buddhist queens.

You may certainly have noticed that Hindu gods are very prominent in Thai culture. Thus, there are often images of these gods in Thai temples and at Thai shrines. In fact, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are the three most important Hindu gods representing the recurring and continual cycles of birth, life, death and rebirth.

One moment in time: The hidden wonderment of Japanese short-form poetry
Sunday 12 May 2019, 03:00PM
Quality short-form writing is generally acknowledged in literary circles as an exceptionally difficult discipline and an art form of itself. There’s many an artisan coffee drunk at book circle deliberations on the best short story ever told, and fisty-cuffs at dawn should some illiterate ignoramus belittle your favoured novella.
