Thailand celebrates elaborate coronation of King Maha Vajiralongkorn | DW News

[@yoelv.o.krisstiawan5838]

Best wishes to both the people of Thailand and the people of Japan on their new monarchs.

[@Jartisann]

Thailand or Siam has never been colonized, nor converted to Communism, nor shut-out from the rest of the world. We remain Buddhist with a strong Monarchy system that have lasted and past the test of time for the last 2000++ years. People also love coming here from all over the world to seek for our uniqueness. Don't mind us, for having a very different style of Royal Rituals to the rest of the world. It is what make us different and very strong​ 'spiritually' (edited)​. And yes..we prefer the Monarchy over the bland the Globalism ideals. ' If you Love our food, Respect our culture'​

[@leylamamat215]

Of course Siam has never been colonized. During world war 2, Siam just open its door to japanese to attack and conquer malaya. Hmm

[@timdobertson393]

Nobody wanted to colonise it. So what?

[@Jartisann]

@@timdobertson393 not true bro. It was the gold mine where the dutch, british, french were fighting heavily over it. We had to lose some land and big money to the greedy french and british of those times to protect our independence. It was ransom/robery at gunpoint to be very precise. Look it up in history book. Or here if you are too lazy en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Siamese_War

[@bando713]

@@Jartisann Have you ever heard of " sacking or looting settlements" ??? its not colonizing !! And the Japan Empire did that to most of Asia back then. You just over-sell your story mate 😕

[@Jartisann]

@@bando713 yes, they did that to us. But we became allies to the japanese, but not colonized. Never lost our independence to colonialism or permanent conquer. And having our age-old traditions still alive and actibve, means we don't succomb to complete globalization either, wheter they come in forms of culture, media, democracy, etc. We are great at adapting, whilst still holding our core strength. In Thailand, we are constitutional monarchy, and people have far more respect for the monarchy than for democracy which is being loathed of right now.

I hope thai tradition and culture will continue for generations. ❤

[@pix_d20]

@Bosss Pansss i rlly hate comments like these. "you will know one day, trust me" what does that exactly mean??

[@Jartisann]

@Bosss Pansss It is not the same in Thailand. People love the Monarchy and will want it to be here for as long as it can. There is a special difference between Thai Monarchy and other Monarchs. Thai Kings are Buddhists and strictly apply to the 10 Buddhist Code of Conducts of a Benevolent Ruler called the Dasabit RajDharma. The Kings really do practice it for more than a thousand year in Thailand, but traditionally passed on from Buddhist Kings of Ancient India 2,600 years ago. You will not find anything like it in the world. Trust me those 10 rules are very hard to do, yet Thai Kings live up to them under heavy responsibility. And the reward of hard descipline to those moral precepts pay off. His citizens love him from the heart and will trade their lives for him under circumstances. A King is the union of a Buddhist country.

[@marcuslance5883]

All these traditions are more or less Indian traditions ! Good to see Thailand maintaining its historical culture.

[@sunduncan1151]

Vicky Nayak It’s ancient tradition since Ayutthaya period influenced by classical Indian culture. The rituals have strongly Hindu and Buddhist elements because all Thai kings are god-like, specifically the God Rama, the avatar of Lord Vishnu in hinduism. You’ll see the “brahmas” in white clothes, the priests in Hinduism, operating the rituals together with buddhist monks.

[@Jartisann]

Indian traditions have been in our land for mor than a thousand years. It came with the spread of Ancient Hinduism, Ancidnt Mahayan Buddhism, and Theravada Buddhism. All three are mixed intertwined in ceremonies like this. BTW Thais are one of the most active users of Sanskrit language.

[@jimmylives]

@@Jartisann Hinduism came first, then came Buddhism to SE Asia. Hinduism back tracked after invasions started back home. Buddhism came from China, Japan.

[@Jartisann]

@@jimmylives slight correction there, Mahayana buddhism did not come to Thailand through China. It came with southern indians. It originally was a form of buddhism that had to compete with hinduism and shamanism, so it mutated itself sligtly to fit into new lands, paving way for more solid thravada buddhism. It was not recorded properly, but we had no religious influence of buddhism from china until much much later.
