"Thainess represents the unique character of Thailand, which embodies centuries-old cultural values and social practices. The upholding of the three main pillars - the nation, religion and the monarchy, the preservation of Thai traditions and culture...."

 

--Thailand's prime minister General Prayuth Chan-o-cha.

 

Since the 1932 revolution to end absolute monarchy, campaigns to construct the Thai identity became tools to unify the country. Even now, under yet another military regime, "Thainess" has again become a cornerstone and is being redefined and promoted through campaigns by the Thailand Tourism Authority and the Ministry of Culture.

 

But what exactly is Thainess? How has the definition of "Thainess" evolved through the years? And how does it help or hurt Thai society? Join us for a stimulating evening with notable speakers including:

 

 

Philip Cornwel-Smith, author of "Very Thai: Everyday Popular Culture"

 

Somtow Sucharitkul, noted composer and conductor and award-winning novelist.

 

Chattan Kunjara Na Ayudhaya, Executive Director, Advertising and Public Relations Department of the Tourism Authority of Thailand

I still want to know, where are the cows that Takkie promised my ex's in laws, they were due two, I'd suggested they could be named Daisy and Maisy, no one has an answer, they don't even want to talk about it, even though they consider Takkie is a good luck supernova.
