As a Arakan (Rakhine ethnic), the candle dance offering is an act of devotion to the Buddha so it only be used when depicting Buddhist-related events n culture. we can't be used for any other purpose. Even in Myanmar this's sensitive, but @GMMTV ur so brave.

𝐇𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐧 (ထိုင်မသိမ်း) is not simply a name for a traditional Burmese outfit. It refers to a specific garment with its own history, construction, and cultural significance.
Myanmar's traditional clothing evolved across different dynasties, and the styles worn during the early Konbaung period, Amarapura era, and later Yadanabon period were not necessarily the same. Even the cut of a garment, its fastening, its decorative details, and the way it was worn could reflect a particular period and social rank.
Htaingmathein is traditionally understood as a woman's upper garment, worn with a byan htamein (ဗြန့်ထဘီ), rather than a term for the entire ensemble. These distinctions may seem minor to some, but when the terminology is repeatedly used incorrectly, an important part of cultural knowledge can gradually be lost.
This is precisely why historical research matters in period dramas. Traditional clothing is not merely an aesthetic choice; it carries information about the people, period, and culture it represents.
When costumes in #ScarletHeartThailand appear to draw on Myanmar court attire, it raises a legitimate question: were the garments researched according to their historical origins, construction, and period, or were different styles combined simply because they looked suitable for a historical setting?
Lanna and Myanmar share a long and complex history, but historical connections do not make their respective clothing traditions interchangeable. Similarities should be examined in context, and identifiable cultural influences deserve accurate recognition.
Historical fiction allows creative freedom, but creative freedom does not make historical research optional. When a production invests years in developing a period drama, understanding the origins of the clothing used to build its world should be part of that preparation. Otherwise, what is presented as historical atmosphere risks becoming a mixture of cultural references without sufficient historical grounding.

We sincerely hope @GMMTV and the @ScarletHeartTH production team will provide appropriate acknowledgment of Myanmar's cultural heritage wherever it has been incorporated into the series. If these elements are retained, I hope their origins will be clearly credited in the episodes or accompanying production materials.

Not every Burmese person knows how to perform the 𝐑𝐚𝐤𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐢𝐥-𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, and that is precisely why its cultural identity deserves recognition.
Myanmar is home to many ethnic groups, including the Rakhine, Bamar, Shan, Mon, Karen, Kachin, Chin, and others. Each has its own cultural traditions, artistic expressions, and heritage. Being part of the same country does not make every tradition common to every ethnic group.
The Rakhine traditional oil-lamp (Si-mee) dance, also known as Buddha Pujaniya, is a distinctive expression of Rakhine cultural heritage. Its devotional meaning is closely connected to Buddhism and offerings to the Three Jewels: the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha. The dancers move gracefully while balancing lamps on their palms, accompanied by devotional songs and traditional music.
The Rakhine oil-lamp dance is a distinctive form of Rakhine traditional performing art, associated with Buddhist devotional offerings. Its choreography, music, and cultural significance form part of Rakhine heritage and should not be treated as a generic traditional dance without acknowledging its origins.
When such a culturally specific performance appears in #ScarletHeartThailand, its historical and cultural origins warrant careful research. If Rakhine cultural elements have been incorporated into the series, their origins should be accurately identified and appropriately acknowledged.
We sincerely hope @GMMTV and the @ScarletHeartTH production team will address these concerns, provide proper credit for verified Myanmar cultural influences, and issue an official statement clarifying the historical references behind the relevant scenes.

@Eileen_tcf Sharing the same ethnical culture is common between neighbouring country while misrepresenting other culture's heritage as yours is unethical. Like Shan costumes is a common traditional costumes in both Thai and Myanmar while Htain-ma-thein and Se-mee-kwat dance are not.
@Eileen_tcf Your Series being introduced as Scarlet heart Thailand is a way of claiming.Ofc, we do care about your people presenting our heritage as yours. Although our country being in civil war, we don't need your country to preserve our culture and heritage instead of us. Be mind on yours
Using " fictional creation" as an excuse to present Other Country's culture and traditional costumes as your own is not a smart choice and it's simply not respecting other's culture and your own culture @GMMTV@ScarletHeartTH
Do have respect on both cultures and give credit
