Extractions: Dvaravati Kingdom To understand of the amazing wealth and character of Thailand's cultural heritage, you must begin with the influence of ancient India. This first entered Southeast Asia perhaps 2,300 years ago. It continued for several centuries as Indian merchants and scholars settled in the region. It is easy to see how important this influence is to modern Thailand. Buddhist religion and popular myth are the most obvious examples. Much of Thailand's royal tradition is also rooted in Indian culture. The present dynasty, of which his Majesty King Bhumibol is the ninth monarch , is known formally as the House of Chakri. While this title comes directly from the name of the founding monarch before he became king, the word chakra actually means the discuss of Hindu mythology. It provides a clear link to Hindu beliefs.

Extractions: CAMBODIA AND LAOS Angkor Thom, capital of the flourishing Khmer empire in the 11th century, was one of the worlds most densely populated cities. An incredible mass of dazzling pagodas grew up around Angkor Thom, culminating in the glory of the magnificent temple complex at Angkor Wat. With the fall of the Khmers, the temples were slowly recaptured by the lush forest and remained a hidden legend until 1861 when they were re-discovered and introduced to the western world.
09/03/1996 - Almanac, Vol. 43, No. 2, Page 10 ancient Site Yields Treasures for Penn Prof The dig at Ban Chiang, in northwestthailand, was a joint project of the Fine Arts Department of thailand http://www.upenn.edu/pennnews/features/1996/090396/Arch.html
Extractions: for Penn Prof The lowly graduate student's first job for the Ban Chiang Project was to clean the windows, then the room, the shelves, then the tools stored at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology . Then she had to label the stone tools and each little flake of stone from the dig at Ban Chiang. "I was in heaven," says Joyce White. "It was real archaeology!" Today, Dr. Joyce C. White, 44, is the director of the Ban Chiang Project, an international effort and arguably the most important archaeological dig in Southeast Asia. Like many archaeology projects, hers gets along on a shoestring. But the shoestring existence has never clouded White's understanding of the importance of her project. Indeed, the need to publish the findings and to extend the research have become a passion, a white-hot certainty that the knowledge Ban Chiang represents deserves better treatment. Joyce White sits among reconstructed pots
In The Shadow Of Angkor From the catalogue essay The Religions of ancient Cambodia by Kamaleswar BoW (Buddhism on the Web) from thailand (now apparently moved, or missing) http://www.ovationtv.com/artszone/teachers/angkor.html
Extractions: Our web presentation of In The Shadow of Angkor emphasizes: It is possible that many students know little or nothing about Cambodia. Most Americans showed little interest in the country before it became strategically important during the Vietnam War. But many of us were horrified by the revelations of what has since been termed "genocide" under the Khmer Rouge regime of Pol Pot. Those students who read a daily newspaper will have been exposed to frequent stories since the summer (1997) of the political turmoil in the country, and the trial of Pol Pot.

Extractions: Note on Cambodia Visa Historical Background Indian's Influence Inscription Religion Lineage ... Mastery over Water Khmer Civilization Pre-Angkor Era Angkor Era Post Angkor Era Rise and Fall of Khmer ... Chronology The Khmer or Angkor Civilization came into existence during the period from 802 to 1431 A.D. and stretched as far as the modern Thailand-Burma Border in the West and Wat Phou of Laos in the North during its peak. Its emergence lies in the fact that the ancient Khmer rulers adopted a right political doctrine of its time, which enforce the unity among people. Moreover, they had developed an intelligent irrigation system to control the water of the great Mekong River for agricultures, which enhanced its prosperity. The Khmer Civilization had long been perished over 5 centuries ago, but it left outstanding monuments such as the great Khmer temples of Angkor Wat and Bayon and numerous unique sculptures like Apsara.

TIME Asia Magazine: A Glorious Mess -- Mar. 28, 2005 First up are a few striking examples of that ancient civilization. Much of thefirst gallery thailand The Troubled South Environment More Hot Air? http://www.time.com/time/asia/magazine/article/0,13673,501050328-1039756,00.html
Extractions: Strolling through "From Eastern Han to High Tang: A Journey in Transculturation," it's easy to lose one's bearings. In the exhibition, which opened at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum last week, stately stone Buddhas commingle with Greek gods and goddesses, an Iranian prince, and a bare-chested warrior with a rosy complexion and deep blue eyes. A dragon-edged jade disk vies for attention against vases of swirling Roman glass, Byzantine gold coins and a curious flock of tiny wooden geese that could almost pass for miniatures of the sculptures of Henry Moore. If not for the captions to remind us where the motley 300 objects on display were unearthed, it might be easy to forget that the subject of the show is China. First up are a few striking examples of that ancient civilization. Much of the first gallery is dominated by a cavalcade of miniature bronze chariots and horsemen. Painstakingly detailed, with detachable saddles on the horses and mobile wheels on the chariots, they give a sense of the authority of Han rulers at their height at the beginning of the 3rd century. Also of interest from this period are pieces of carved jade, examples of an exacting art form that reached its apogee in the Han era. Jade carving was largely abandoned in the period that followed.

Extractions: Sunrise at Angkor Wat, Cambodia IN SEARCH OF THE BLACK PRESENCE IN CAMBODIA By RUNOKO RASHIDI DEDICATED TO THE GODFREY FAMILY I n regards to travel and lectures, 1999 was my most productive year to date. Internationally, in 1999, I lectured in Thailand, Hawaii, India, Russia, Trinidad, Venezuela and Guyana. The Ancestors were very good to me. It was wonderful set of experiences, and I frequently felt that I was in a kind of dream. All of this travel revolved around researching the African presence globally. All of my lectures were about who African people are, where we are, what we have done, and what we are doing. All along I felt that I was a sort of ambassador possessed of a strong sense of mission and purpose. THE BLACK PRESENCE IN CAMBODIA My last travel experience in 1999 took me to Thailand and Cambodia. In fact, Cambodia was the only country that I traveled to in 1999 where I didn't lecture. I went to Cambodia solely for research. My interest in the Cambodian kingdom of Angkor began in the mid-1970s when I came across John G. Jackson's powerful and informative volume
