  • The city of Ayutthaya was the capital of a mighty empire that once controlled large parts of Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. A cosmopolitan centre of over a million residents, it was one of the wealthiest cities in the eastern hemisphere, and even compared to Paris.
    Host Peter Lee travels through Thailand to explore the secrets of how this empire grew to be powerful. From ancient crypts that depict its growth as a trading nation, to elephants and a unique martial art used in battles to defend the kingdom, Peter explores how Ayutthaya grew into a prosperous trading hub, that attracted merchants from all over the world from Japan in the east to Great Britain in the west. So much so that foreign influences of Ayutthaya’s golden age still lingers in Thailand’s culinary traditions.

      Observe how carefully CNA avoided references to India. How Ayutthaya is named after Ayodhya, how the main trading partner of Ayutthaya was India, how the temples were Hindu, how all the Kings in Thailand are named after Rama. This is yet another hinduphobic documentary.

    When he said ‘it was created in Ayutthaya’s image’ ... my heart shed a tear, because as a Bangkok native I was raised to remember how each part of Rattanakosin Island (old Bangkok) was a reminder in miniature of the glory of Ayutthaya. Every neighborhood in old Bangkok had its exact place in Ayutthaya, so the survivors of the sack of Ayutthaya would never forget the beauty of their former home...and the original temples and palaces of Bangkok were built from those same bricks in Ayutthaya transported specifically so that Ayutthaya lives on in Bangkok.

We survive because we proud of what our ancestor were made. Plus some sly politics of our people that taking different sides. No external influence would break us.

    I have a huge fascination with Thailand. When I was a child growing up in the Philippines, I didn't know much about the country. But I have those dreams about a place where there were so many temples, colourful food/delicacies, and beautiful culture. Years later I have almost forgotten about it.
    When I was in 5th grade we had a school program to celebrate the United Nations Day. Our teacher told me to represent Thailand, I have to make a speech and presentation wearing a traditional Thai costume. So, I have to make a research. While reading books and seeing photos of Thailand. I thought it was really familiar. I asked my parents if we have traveled to Thailand as a child. My mom said no, she hadn't traveled to another country at that time. Suddenly, I remembered seeing them in my dreams when I was much younger. As a grown-up, before moving to Canada, I went to Dubai to work for a little over 2 years. And guess what? I worked in an internationally known hotel chain owned by the Thai Royal Family and of course, there were so many Thais employed at the hotel in different departments but most of them were chefs. Because of the language barrier, they tend to hang out among themselves but one day, one of the Thais approached me. Apparently, he wanted us to be friends. He told me that I look like Thai from the Chang Mai region. I thought that was really awesome because I was interested I just didn't know how to approach them. He invited me to their place for dinner. I remember there were about 6 of them sitting on the floor surrounding the food. That was my first experience with authentic Thai food and culture. Eventually, I became friends with everyone and I learned so much about their culture. My admiration for the Thai culture just grown on me. Several months later I visited Thailand and it was amazing. It's was like walking to a place you are familiar with. Fast forward, 11 years later I have traveled to many beautiful countries but Thailand is still my favourite. I was planning to visit again this year but due to the pandemic, all travel plans got canceled. Hopefully, I could still travel this year if it is already safe to travel. If not, early next year to reconnect with the culture and see some friends I am still in touch with today. Sawasdee Khap Thailand! Khub Khun Kap!

      Ahom in Assam and Tai in South China are the older Tai/Laos cilvilizations, judge by the similarity of speaking language Thai ancestor maybe migrated from either of 2 places or both. Personally I think Ahom culture look more similar to Shan state ( a Tai people state in Myanmar) or maybe Tai people in Thailand evolves differently since the country located between China and India also being port trading with many nationality while Ahom and South China Tai got heavy influence by one particular nation.

      - Krung Thep-Dvaravati Sri Ayutthaya
      - Ayutthaya Sri Rama Thep Nakorn etc.,
      in the Ayutthaya era, they believed that the King was the Lord Rama in the Human form so that's why they bring the name of Ayodhya to use as the Capital city name "Ayutthaya"

    19:25 This event are in all of Thai history textbook. And also accept by the Myanmar's scholar. In the situation of out numbered and may be defeated, King Naresuan said to prince Mingyi Swa "Instead of just watch our solder killing each other under the shade, We could avoid the unnecessary death if we just fight one on one."
    This means many things. Both of the king and the prince were value their own solder's life as worth to be save even though that means to risk their own life. And also means they're both confident in their own battling skills. They're also prideful. And there're back story as King Naresuan born as Ayutthaya prince was once captured by Burma when Ayutthaya was defeat the first time, The Burmese king Nanda Bayin raise the prince as one of his own child. So king Naresuan and Prince Mingyi Swa are like brothers who know each other so well. Both of them known to be love to challenge or compete each other since childhood. It's King Nanda Bayin himself who assign prince Naresuan back to Ayutthaya to rule the area under Burmise kingdom. Not knowing that prince Naresuan would liberate Ayutthaya back to it's own state like it was 15 years ago, Which make him become a king. Myanmar might see this action as rebelling instead of liberation. But every one agree that both king Naresuan and prince Mingyi Swa were legendary brave man who fought one on one over an elephant for the last time of the history, And end the battle, safe their men's life from unnecessary death. (That might also end up as a defeat for Ayutthaya)

    The characteristics of Thai people according to the view of Prince Damrong Rajanubhab (1862 - 1943) the younger brother of King Rama V (King Chulalongkorn 1853 - 1910 reigned 1868 - 1910) and one of the most important Thai History scholar
    s.
    1.Freedom
    - Thai people like to live with freedom and will never let any other powers to have the power over them. Even sometimes Thais are under foreign influences, Thai people will fight until they get their freedom back.
    2.Tolerance - Any foreigners, despite what their backgrounds, their races, their religions are, as long as they live properly and don't do anything wrong. They can live in Thai society with Thai people peacefully without discrimination.
    3.Assimilation - Thai people can adapt other cultures into their own cultures. And, if any foreigners decide to live and settle in Thai society with Thai people, despite what their backgrounds, their races, their religions are, within 2 generations, even they preserve some aspects of their original cultures, they will be assimilated into Thai society and they will think that they are Thai or Thai with their original backgrounds. The Chinese people are the example, nearly all of Thai Chinese people recognize themselves as Thai or Thai Chinese.

On the other hand, Cambodia has continued to receive various entertainment media from Thailand until now.

    Hi from Thailand! Thank you for making this I feel like I learn Thai history more than when I was in school lol. Btw at 16:47 the word "musth" is actually pronounced "mun" in Thai, the full word is tok-mun, tok means fall and mun I guess it's derived from nam-mun (meaning "oil"), so the whole meaning of tok-mun is oil falling as it's described in the video.

    Great documentary. However, the establishment of Ayuthaya by King Uthong who you regarded as a Chinese is a myth or even worse a propaganda. Similar to some historical records which proclaimed Chinese as the one who established Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
    Ayuthaya was a new kingdom and was not established from scratch but a peaceful integration of two ancient great kingdoms: Suphanburi (Buddhist) and Lopburi (Hindu). In ensuing years, Suphanburi lineage took control over the entire Ayuthaya. The internal politics was intense with numerous coups. It is counter intuitive that a simple Chinese merchant came to the area of many predecessor powerful ancient kingdoms and established himself as a king. Especially in a culture that bloodline power succession is a absolute must even today.
    Ayuthaya stands for an intersection of China as a trading partner and India as a cultural influence eg religion, language, politics, arts etc.
    It’s therefore one of the many trading ports of ocean Silk Road which is not new to the area since southern Thailand has traded extensively with Japan, China, India, Middle East and Roman Empire long before Ayuthaya was born.
    Nice piece of work but need to put this in a more comprehensive context in order to demonstrate that humanity has always been interconnected. That is what history should serve for people in a present day.
