Recently, the Thai media industry has begun making many high value production films and dramas about ancient Northern Thai kingdoms. This style of dramas has become very appealing lately, but it also serves as a cultural bridge and soft power tool for the people in this triangle. In fact, millions of people in Myanmar’s Shan State, and China’s Xishuangbanna have begun self learning Thai as their second and third languages.
However, with the Thai media industry dominated by Central Thais, the Lanna culture of Northern Thailand often falls victim to Central Thai orientalism and exoticism. Because of this, the portrayal of Northern Thais ends up to fit the molds and images of fantasy expectations that Central Thais have in a way similar to how the far east is the “orient” for Westerners.
In Athens, birthplace of democracy, there is a statue of Alexander the Great, an autocratic king.
Democracy lasted in Athens not even two hundred years. We live in a world where democracy is, or has been, the unquestionable supreme form of government, but that notion only took hold less than a century ago. It has changed before and it will change again and its perception is changing rapidly as historical events overtake the pretensions of people who claim to love democracy while subverting it at every step.
