    (Thai Red Cross Society, 2005) Prapassorn Sevikul
    It was in mid 2003 that Kasikornbank initiated the project "From the Yellow River to the Chao Phraya River". With the cooperation of a team of authorities on the Thai-Chinese relations, data and information were collected from books, research papers and other reference sources, as well as actual field studies in Thailand and China. The source materials compiled covered the development of relations between Thai and Chinese from their beginnings, portraying the ways of life, arts, culture, traditions, ideas and beliefs, all of which have played a role in the successful coexistence of the Thai and Chinese.

    siam in mind
    ( 2023-03-14) david k. wyatt
    This slim volume takes the reader on a fascinating stroll through Thailand’s intellectual history -- the thoughts of the people of Siam, and the products of their thought, through history. It is a series of informal sketches, gleaned over years of historical research and stored away for rumination and reflection by one of the foremost historians of Thailand. Wyatt muses about these pieces of history, revealing some of the creative thinking that has been going on in the minds of ordinary and nameless people as well as great and well-known thinkers in Siam for the past thirteen hundred years. A variety of new thought -- political, religious, and artistic -- has arisen in all sorts of contexts: warfare, trade, administration, and farming, to name a few. Collected here is a valuable historical sampling of these new ideas from the many different regions of what we think of today as Thailand.

    Siam's foreign relations in the reign of King Mongkut, 1851-1868
    (International studies center,Ministry of Foreign Affsirs, 2024-01-03) Neon Snidvongs.
    The International Studies Center (ISC) wishes to express its deep appreciation to the family of the late Thanpuying Neon Snidvongs, through her nephew Dr. Anond Snidvongs, for permitting the ISC to publish for the first time her doctoral thesis “The Development of Siamese Relations with Britain and France in the Reign of Maha Mongkut, 1851-1868”, under the title “Siam’s Foreign Relations in the Reign of King Mongkut, 1851-1868”, as another volume in the ISC’s series of books on diplomatic history. Following the practice with theses that the ISC has published, editorial changes were made only when necessary or prudent in order to keep the book as close as possible to the original thesis submitted to The School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, in 1960. The original spelling of personal and place names have also been retained. The conclusion of the Bowring Treaty with Great Britain in 1855, at the beginning of the reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV), ushered in the new era of Siam’s (as Thailand was then known) relations with Western nations. Under the Bowring and the “Bowring-type” Treaties, Siam relinquished its autonomy in judicial and fiscal matters to these Western countries. But what had begun as purely commercial relations soon took on a more political nature. The change was due mainly to the impetuous entrance of France into Indo-China, following the establishment of a French colony at the mouth of the Mekong River in 1862. Subsequent colonial expansion caused further problems for Siam. Consequently, Siam’s foreign policy was highlighted by its efforts to maintain independence in the face of encroaching colonial powers. In Thanpuying Neon’s work, Siam’s policies in dealing with Britain and France were examined in detail, based on Siamese, British and French archival materials, which had not yet been analysed extensively by that time. Her meticulous use of these archival materials gave us a tantalizing glimpse into the negotiations and diplomatic relations between Siam and the two major powers, the process as well as the characters involved. Her work clearly showed how Siam was able to adjust to the changing circumstances and how King Mongkut contributed to the formation of Siam’s foreign policy. The ISC believes that this work is crucial to the understanding of modern Thai diplomacy and hopes that readers will find it a useful source material on the subject of Siam’s foreign relations.
