Extractions: History: The Kingdom of Thailand, known as Siam until 1939, was ruled by the Khmers, based in what is now neighbouring Cambodia, during the 11th and 12th centuries. In 1238 two Thai chieftains rebelled against Khmer domination and established the first independent Thai kingdom. Ayutthaya, to the north of Bangkok, was the capital of the kingdom from the early 1300s until its destruction by Burmese invaders in 1767. The Burmese were quickly forced out and the monarchy re-established. The absolute rule of the monarchy lasted until 1932 when it was replaced by a system of constitutional monarchy. Since the end of absolute monarchy, Thailand has made slow progress towards a democratic, pluralistic system of government. The principal reason has been the attitude of the military which has exercised a strong though rarely beneficial influence: only recently have Thai politicians seriously addressed the issue of excluding them. But during the Cold War, this was a minor consideration: democratic governments were a rarity in the region and Thailand's chief strategic ally, the USA, was more concerned with Thailand's role as a bulwark against encroaching communism from elsewhere in South-East Asia. In this respect, Thailand was and continues to be an influential member of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN): with the Cold War at an end, Thailand has been prominent in proposing the reformation of ASEAN into a regional trading bloc (see

Extractions: History The early history of the area now known as Thailand is difficult to document. There are few records available today due to the lack of a unified system of writing, the ravages of the jungle environment on antiquities and the many times the inhabitants of this area were over come, enslaved or killed. This fertile and livable area has supported human life for a much longer period of time than we have verifiable written records. Founded in the thirteenth century, the Kingdom of Thailand was known until 1939 as Siam, a word that still, for many visitors, evokes visions of an ancient land of mystery and allure. Once referred to as Siamese, the people of Thailand are now called "Thai", which itself mean 'Free', Thailand being "The Land of The Free." If we trace the origins of the Thai we find their ancestors were a people of southern China called T'ai who slowly migrated throughout the area, some settling in what is now northern Thailand and establishing a fledgling Thai kingdom at Payao in 1096. Spurred by the Mongol conquest of China, the northern Thai kingdoms grew in size and numbers, with Lanna Thai and Sukhothai becoming especially important cities. Mengrai, a tribal leader who founded Lanna Thai, " A Million Rice Fields", named his Chiang Mai city which still today serves as a bastion of traditional Thai ways.

http://members.tripod.com/~tudtu/tai1.htm

Extractions: So much for the expension of the Shan race; but it is well to remember that the expansion of a race is one thing and that the origin of a race is quite another. We know where the early home of the Chinese was above four thousand years ago at the beginning of their origin. The early home of the Shans may have been, and probably was, in the ravines and valleys of Sze-ch'uan, but this is farfrom saying that they originated there. "The Hua man had to acknowledge that the new savage lands they were appropriating provided many useful things. From the natives of the rich south they obtained stones and metals, handsome pearls and feathers for the ceremonies of their courts and temples, and bamboo and rhinoceros hides for the arrows and breastplates of their aristocratic fighting men".

(New Book) "Few were the Scandinavians who ventured into unknown Asia in the last century, and even fewer took the trouble to document their travels or describe the results of their explorations. Carl Alfred Bock, a Norwegian natural scientist, was one of these intrepid travellers who published. His most famous work is 'The Head-Hunters of Borneo' published in 1881 in Dutch and English. His journey to northern Thailand and Laos had the support of H.M. King Chulalongkorn, to whom the book is dedicated. Most of the material that Bock collecteddescribed in the bookis in London museums, but a few items, including some bronze statues, are kept in the Ethnographic Museum in Oslo."

Extractions: Here you will find a brief history of rice and some general information sources. There is so much to discover as one digs deeper into the world of rice that it cannot all fit in RiceWeb . We will use the General Information Sources area to point out some other sources as well as highlights or new linkages to explore. We hope that the many other World Wide Web sites that can be accessed through RiceWeb will also provide links from their sites to RiceWeb. Rice is intimately involved in the culture as well as the food ways and economy of many societies. For example, folklore tells us that when the Kachins of northern Myanmar (Burma) were sent forth from the center of the Earth, they were given the seeds of rice and were directed to a wondrous country where everything was perfect and where rice grew well. Rice is an integral part of their creation myth and remains today as their leading crop and most preferred food. In Bali, it is believed that the Lord Vishnu caused the Earth to give birth to rice, and the God Indra taught the people how to raise it. In both tales, rice is considered a gift of the gods, and even today in both places, rice is treated with reverence, and its cultivation is tied to elaborate rituals. Chinese myth, by contrast, tells of rice being a gift of animals rather than of gods. China had been visited by an especially severe period of floods. When the land had finally drained, people came down from the hills where they had taken refuge, only to discover that all the plants had been destroyed and there was little to eat. They survived through hunting, but it was very difficult, because animals were scarce. One day the people saw a dog coming across a field, and hanging on the dog's tail were bunches of long, yellow seeds. The people planted these seeds, rice grew, and hunger disappeared. Throughout China today, tradition holds that "the precious things are not pearls and jade but the five grains", of which rice is first.

She was mainly used to transport mango wood charcoal till 1985 then she was restored and redesigned for the first time to serve as a classic yacht. The June Hong is constructed mainly from a hard teak wood called Takien Tong . Extremely strong, the wood is used for the three masts that rise 23 meters above the deck; 28 meters above sea level. The trees cut for the masts date back over 300 years. Movies The junk featured in movies as early as 1974 when she was still operational as a cargo vessel. Everybody remembers the James Bond movie "The man with the golden gun". At the end James escapes with his Bond-girl on a Chinese Junk, the "June Hong Chian Lee". More recently (October 2000) she featured in the ZDF documentary "Das Weisse Gold". The director used the Junk to show what life must have been like, hundreds of years ago when Junks were the main mode of transportation in South East Asia.
