so Siam ? Ayuthaya was indeed a muslim state....
over the years the history of Siam was reconstructed to befit the Thai nationalism. I am sorry, thats is at least what many in Malaysia, esp in the northern part see it..... |

Many nations reconstruct their history somewhat, including, i dare say, Malaysia. I does seem strange to me however that a cabinet depicting such clear human form would be the product of a Islamic culture. It should also be understood that the history of Ayutthaya was recorded by many others besides the Thai themselves as they traded openly with states as far away as France. |

Mural Drawing at Siam Wat '' Temple '' http://www.thailandtatler.com/tag/mahosadha-jataka/ Foreign Mercenaries Ekatotsarot's reign saw the influx of foreigners into Siam as traders and mercenaries. Ekatotsarot established Krom Asas (volunteered regiments) of foreign soldiers, for example; Krom Asa Mon, Krom Asa Cham '' Champa '', Krom Asa Yipun (Japanese mercenaries), and Krom Asa Maen Puen (Arquebusiers - the Portuguese and Dutch). Ekatotsarot had a close relations with the Tokugawa shogunate under Tokugawa Ieyasu who commissioned Red Seal Ships to Siam. Around this time the Siamese metallurgists learned the arts of forging mortars from the Westerners and combined with traditional methods giving rise to the praised Siamese mortars known for their qualities. |
