SUMMARY:Tai Herbalism in the 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:Description\nSusan Conway’s talk is based on her book\, Tai Herbalism\, that analyses an early 19th century Shan manuscript about herbalism and magic. \nAgainst all the odds\, the author succeeded in achieving a translation of the manuscript with the help of a handful of elderly villagers able to read the ancient Shan script\, and scholarly monks from Shan State Buddhist University\, Myanmar.  \nThe translated manuscript offers a fascinating insight into the treatment of physical and mental illness in that era. Patients were first assessed according to local astrological and cosmological beliefs\, then treated with a combination of traditional Shan herbal remedies reinforced with chants\, spells and rituals. \nDr Conway reveals the extensive use of plants\, herbs\, chemicals and animal extracts as medicines\, and supplies insights into the use of magic for both good and bad intentions. \nPresenters:\nSusan Conway is a research associate at the Institute of Development Studies\, Sussex University. She studied fine art as an undergraduate and her Ph.D is a study of the history and culture of northern Thailand. She is a writer who specialises in the arts and culture of south-east Asia\, and an artist whose work reflects Thailand’s landscapes and murals. \nCOST: 350 THB

The main exhibition hall is on the upper floor where the exhibition of antiques is divided into three periods: prehistoric\, Hariphunchai\, and Lanna; with Buddha statues\, Buddha images\, heads and deities. \nRegroup for a briefing on the history of the Salak Yom Festival. Walk to Wat Phathat Hariphunchai\, the royal temple of Lamphun\, which dates from the 11th century\, though the central stupa is thought to be 9th century. The temple was rebuilt in 1443 by King Tilokaraja of Lanna Kingdom\, Chiang Mai. \nObserve the Salak Yom festival\, an annual event held in September among the ethnic “Tai Yong” of Lamphun Province. The festival features the presentation of elaborately decorated “trees of gifts” to the Buddhist monks and novices of Wat Phathat Hariphunchai.  \nThe centerpiece of the ritual is a tall bamboo pole decorated with thousands of brightly colored tufted rods\, palm leaf manuscript holders\, foodstuffs and money. The lower half of each tree is decorated with daily objects\, cooking utensils\, cloth\, fruit\, vegetables and various kinds of containers. Traditionally the Salak Yom festival was a rite of passage for young women in ethnic Yong society who prepared the trees and offered them to the monks and novices. The merit attached to Salak Yom is considered to be equal to the merit gained from being ordained a Buddhist monk. Observe and enjoy this amazing festival with local people. \n12.30 Transfer to lunch at Krau Wandee Thai restaurant \n13.45 Leave restaurant to visit Wat Chamadevi\, or as local people call it\, Wat Ku Kut.

SUMMARY:Ayurveda – The Science of Life
DESCRIPTION:Description\nAyurveda is based on the theory that everything in the universe is connected. If your mind\, body and spirit are in harmony with the universe you are in good health. When this balance is disrupted you become ill. A disruptor can be genetic in origin\, for example\, or it might be a birth defect\, or an injury. Climate and seasonal changes have their effects too\, as do your emotions and age. \nPractitioners of Ayurveda believe we are made of five basic elements: space\, air\, fire\, water and earth. These elements combine in the human body to form three life forces or energies called doshas which control how the body works. Everyone inherits a unique mix of these three doshas\, although one is usually stronger than the others. Each dosha controls a different set of bodily functions and it is believed that your propensity for ill health and the health problems that develop are linked to the balance of your doshas.  \nAn Ayurvedic therapist will identify your primary and secondary doshas and use this information\, together with your physical and emotional makeup\, to create a treatment plan designed specifically for you. \nWhile clinical research is sparse compared to studies of Western medicine\, Ayurveda has been shown to improve rheumatoid arthritis\, hypertension\, heart disease\, chronic pain\, anxiety\, poor circulation\, skin health\, sleep quality\, poor digestion and more. \nBy embracing a holistic approach to health and wellness through diet\, herbal treatments\, meditation\, yoga and massage\, Ayurveda is the world’s oldest healing science and well worth investigating. \nPresenters:\nSangeeta Sirinthipaporn started practising natural therapies in 1999 with acupressure reflexology. She saw the need to offer a more complete range of treatments in the search for wellness and a balanced lifestyle. Ayurveda was the key that gave her insights into the root cause of various disorders and the way to balance the bodily systems. \nAt her clinic Sangeeta guides each patient through a series of therapies\, and supplies a diet plan\, exercise program and lifestyle balancing measures to achieve health and harmony. She regularly presents workshops and lectures at Spas\, Wellness Centres and Universities nationwide. \nCOST: 350 THB\nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:The Overture
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis is the story of Sorn Silapabanleng\, a gifted Thai musician who started to play the ranad ek when he was six\, beginning a journey to establish himself as the best player in the country.   \nSet in Ratchburi Province and Bangkok\, the film cuts back and forth between the early incidents that helped him become the most famous musician of the traditional piphat ensemble style\, and the events of the 1940s after the abolition of the absolute monarchy.  \nThe Prime Minister\, Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsonghkhram\, was attempting to culturally reform and modernise the country. He changed the name of the country from Siam to Thailand and introduced legislation banning old-fashioned things\, like traditional Thai music and the playing of specific instruments. Sorn was a famous name\, and the modernising government was eager to use him in their reform campaign. But Sorn wasn’t interested and remained devoted to traditional Thai music. He said that as a tree needs roots\, so traditions are the roots of culture and should not be abandoned. \nIn a scene where Sorn’s son brings a piano to the house\, he and Sorn jam together. The music they make is neither traditional Thai nor modern Western\, but is something new\, different\, beautiful. It becomes a synthesis of the two disciplines\, creating something unique; showing a way of doing things that allows the past to be a part of the future.   \nGuy Scandlen\, an aficionado of Thai film will give a brief introduction to The Overture (104 minutes) which is in Thai with English sub-titles. Afterwards\, two Payap University music students will demonstrate the ranad ek and you can try it too.\nLastly there will be a discussion about the film. \nCOST: 350 THB\nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:Modern Thai Politics
DESCRIPTION:Description\nHaving just updated his introductory book on modern Thai history and politics\, James Wise will talk about how Thailand’s political\, social and legal systems have developed since the 19th Century. Thailand’s 2023 election results energised some Thais and traumatised others. Voters and analysts alike were astonished that a youthful party aiming to transform the country won the most seats\, though not a majority. The Move Forward party wanted to de-militarise society and politics\, de-centralise government administration\, de-monopolise the economy\, and curb the ideological\, political\, and financial power of the monarchy. \nFor decades\, Thai politics had revolved around two big questions: Do you support the charismatic Thaksin Shinawatra and his populist Pheu Thai party? Do you support military supervision of politics? \nThaksin and the military—once enemies—now had a common foe. Relying on military-appointed senators\, they formed a coalition government that pushed Move Forward into the parliamentary opposition. \nMove Forward’s challenge is to broaden support for its progressive agenda before the next election. That’s a scary prospect for Thaksin and the military because\, according to the current constitution\, next time they won’t be able to rely on unelected senators to rescue them. \nIn his recently updated book\, James Wise describes the historical context of these momentous events and trends and shares insights into the social and cultural undercurrents that shape Thai politics. Informed by the latest research\, his book is an accessible introduction for the general reader\, while also offering much to those who want to know more about Thailand’s political dynamics. \nJames Wise was Australia’s Ambassador to Thailand from 2010 to 2014. He also worked in Thailand from 1995 to 1998\, when he was Deputy Head of Mission at the Australian Embassy. He now lives in Doi Saket. James was an Australian diplomat for over 30 years. In addition to two postings to Thailand\, he was High Commissioner to Malaysia (2003-07) and had earlier postings to the Soviet Union (1987-91) and Papua New Guinea (1983-85). James graduated from the University of Tasmania with a first-class honours degree in history. \nCOST: 350 THB\nDownload Flyer here:
