Thailand's Ancient Modern Kingdom | The Mark Of Empire | Ayutthaya
The city of Ayutthaya was the capital of a mighty empire that once controlled large parts of Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. A cosmopolitan centre of over a million residents, it was one of the wealthiest cities in the eastern hemisphere, and even compared to Paris.
Host Peter Lee travels through Thailand to explore the secrets of how this empire grew to be powerful. From ancient crypts that depict its growth as a trading nation, to elephants and a unique martial art used in battles to defend the kingdom, Peter explores how Ayutthaya grew into a prosperous trading hub, that attracted merchants from all over the world from Japan in the east to Great Britain in the west. So much so that foreign influences of Ayutthaya’s golden age still lingers in Thailand’s culinary traditions.

When he said ‘it was created in Ayutthaya’s image’ ... my heart shed a tear, because as a Bangkok native I was raised to remember how each part of Rattanakosin Island (old Bangkok) was a reminder in miniature of the glory of Ayutthaya. Every neighborhood in old Bangkok had its exact place in Ayutthaya, so the survivors of the sack of Ayutthaya would never forget the beauty of their former home...and the original temples and palaces of Bangkok were built from those same bricks in Ayutthaya transported specifically so that Ayutthaya lives on in Bangkok.

Quantify the amount of pride of stolen property from country that experienced self-ruins due to their political-religious changes!?!
@@AngkorianChildSoldier First thing need to do to raise a country, Make people proud with their nationalism. China does that, America does that, Same goes to Thailand. And it works. After the country unite by the current monarch 2 century ago, We stay neutral from colonization with England from the west and French from the east, We help the allies to win WW1, We survived the axis power in WW2. We survive because we proud of what our ancestor were made. Plus some sly politics of our people that taking different sides. No external influence would break us. (Because we always break ourself from the inside before they do, It's true in Ayutthaya era, And it's being true right now lol)
@@ilakya - Hi, This is an amazing piece of history in Thailand's glorious past and present. Does the name Ayutthaya has any connection to ancient Indian Rama empire?
Same! my heart trembled for a bit. Didn’t think anyone would feel the same way and thought I was the sensitive one lol.

I love Thailand too
I have a huge fascination with Thailand. When I was a child growing up in the Philippines, I didn't know much about the country. But I have those dreams about a place where there were so many temples, colourful food/delicacies, and beautiful culture. Years later I have almost forgotten about it. When I was in 5th grade we had a school program to celebrate the United Nations Day. Our teacher told me to represent Thailand, I have to make a speech and presentation wearing a traditional Thai costume. So, I have to make a research. While reading books and seeing photos of Thailand. I thought it was really familiar. I asked my parents if we have traveled to Thailand as a child. My mom said no, she hadn't traveled to another country at that time. Suddenly, I remembered seeing them in my dreams when I was much younger. As a grown-up, before moving to Canada, I went to Dubai to work for a little over 2 years. And guess what? I worked in an internationally known hotel chain owned by the Thai Royal Family and of course, there were so many Thais employed at the hotel in different departments but most of them were chefs. Because of the language barrier, they tend to hang out among themselves but one day, one of the Thais approached me. Apparently, he wanted us to be friends. He told me that I look like Thai from the Chang Mai region. I thought that was really awesome because I was interested I just didn't know how to approach them. He invited me to their place for dinner. I remember there were about 6 of them sitting on the floor surrounding the food. That was my first experience with authentic Thai food and culture. Eventually, I became friends with everyone and I learned so much about their culture. My admiration for the Thai culture just grown on me. Several months later I visited Thailand and it was amazing. It's was like walking to a place you are familiar with. Fast forward, 11 years later I have traveled to many beautiful countries but Thailand is still my favourite. I was planning to visit again this year but due to the pandemic, all travel plans got canceled. Hopefully, I could still travel this year if it is already safe to travel. If not, early next year to reconnect with the culture and see some friends I am still in touch with today. Sawasdee Khap Thailand! Khub Khun Kap!
You know why so many Japanese people learning Thai language.. Because 50% of them had their children lifetimes in Thailand before going back to Japan. And they had their dreams to go back to Thailand again when they're ready & spend the end of lifes there forever 😁
Good story. Love it!
you might be a Thai people in your last life, that's why you had Dejavu and familiar feeling about Thailand.
Ive had similar experience.....my first time in Thailand felt too familiar....without being there i knew where sites were located ...and picked up the language too easily. And im not Asian! The friends i made said theyve seen this before. Your story ive heard from others in other countries. Perhaps there is something in this land that awakens ones mind to past lives?
Last life you were a Thai for sure.
these documentary made me wonder the richness of ancient south east asian civilization. Love the way recent modern era interlink the identity from their anchestor like this Thailand beautiful culture. respect from Indonesia.
I feel the same when I learned about Sri Vijaya, Java, and also modern Indonesia. Respect from Thailand.

Observe how carefully CNA avoided references to India. How Ayutthaya is named after Ayodhya, how the main trading partner of Ayutthaya was India, how the temples were Hindu, how all the Kings in Thailand are named after Rama. This is yet another hinduphobic documentary.

Hoping to go to Thailand when i finish my studies. I love Thailand and Philippines so much😊.
welcome home of ASEANS ,Thailand
love Philippines i need go to your country Help Me Help Thailand .!!! We Design Traditional Costume. developed to be unique for welcoming tourists, wedding, the film industry and Thai series.

Camich Ginuas do you believe in reincarnation? maybe you were Thai in your previous life.
I recommend you see Love Destiny . It is the series that taken place in the period before Neung Dai Fah Diew . It’s about Ayuthdhaya’s era. You will learn more about Thailand. Hope you like this series. It was broadcasted firstly in 2018 but it still the proper one to see as well as the introduction of Thai series until now.

@@soksdoerng174 Again ! Cambodians comes to declare themselves as a countrymen from a foundation of Thailand’s culture; Cambodia despite the fact that the current cultures of Cambodia itself have nothing to do with their own Angkor Wat but copy from Thai cultures in 18th century instead. This is the reason why they come to claim everything of Thailand since they omit their own root and go astray from the actual root of them.
I love the phrase “no culture exists with isolation” Good job CNA and khun Peter , thank you for this excellence documentary. Appreciate the way you tell the story about trade and culture . I think the golden age of Ayutthaya was during the reign of King Narai as Ayutthya had a diplomatic relation with court of French. For the collapse of Ayutthaya, I also realize that the past is past , Thai and Myanmar in present day are good friends and support each other . I hope friendship between 2 countries continues forever.

Actually, quite some historians (such as by Chris Baker and Pasut Phongpaichit) have argued that Ayutthaya's peak of prosperity continued into the 18th century (with the Chinese trade, with the European impact, and their subsequent departure, being quite negligible).

no culture exists in isolation
I watched the drama Love Destiny and it makes me want to try wearing Thailand traditional clothes and visit the country while learning about the cultures. I wish that Indonesia can be like this, wearing traditional clothing without being embarrassed and proud of the cultures that had been there for thousands of years without any judgment from the people that know about history but choose to be blind about it.

Go to Bali & wear Balinese clothing at a temple or tirta.
@@Jumpoable Bali hasnt something to represent its beauty and story like Ayuthdhaya has Love destiny to represent it. So the tourists dont have anything to connect with Baliness costume and the place. In my country we call your behavior that “Phak Ran” . The meaning of it is when someone open the shop to sell something and it goes very well for the business. The shops next door who sell similar thing come to tell the costumers of the first to come to shop at their shops too……it’s not mannered and it isnt thing you shouldn’t have done with neighbors. Ok?
whenever i see that old Temple of Ayutthaya Empire, i feel the spirit of those who lives in there comes in alive, it is fascinating experience & looks like i was once live with them from the past.
Me too,when I was there I feel all my heart,mind is going back in time,someone watching when I take a bicycle.
Your comments made me cry 😢
ขอบคุณครับ ประเทศไทย ยินดีต้อนรับ Welcome to Thailand

I Love Thailand. Ayuthaya named after Ayodhya, the Capital of Bhagwan Ram. Thailand was of Hindu Dharma and the King's name has suffix of Rama, reflects it. The samudramandhana well crafted at Bangkok Airport is there for everyone to see. After Buddhism spread around from India, one of its tradition shown influence on Thai people.
Yes, if there was no India, thailand would be more towards a Chinese based culture.
Peter Lee took every effort to distance Thailand from India. Even when he talk about trade he says - Europe, Africa, Middle East and India. This guy is a joke.
Yeah I thai people I think same
It didn't spread from India because those region was apart of ancient Hindu bloodline.
We have a masked dance drama (Khon) to depict the Ramayana as well. We call it Rammakien ( Ramayana version Thai). Yogyakatar in Indonesia also have India connection as well. Ayodhaya , Ayuthdhaya and Yogyakarta are the three city twin in term of Ramayana epic.
I come from Vietnam a neighboring country with Thailand. I can partly understand the era of King Narai the Great, the happenings in the imperial court, the important events of Ayutthaya through the Thai TV series "Love Destiny". I feel very cherished this place because This place has a rich history and huge architectural works. If I have the opportunity to visit, Ayutthaya is the first place I want to visit when I come to Thailand.

Man, this guy, Peter Lee, is really good! This dude has a certain way of presenting a boring story into fun and exciting narrative.

Yes, he is really, really good and enthusiastic. But why do you think this story (history) is boring? If I had thought so, I wouldn't have clicked! 🤔
And he is so genuine
Correction, the story is not boring.
And he can speak Thai 🙏
I am a North East Indian and my state Assam was also once ruled by Thai decendants centuries back. We have similar architectural buildings in those places where they established their kingdom. And few tribes of our state still practices Thai customs and traditions.
Are you Tai Ahom?
@@thaibadboy7219 no I am not.
@Banana I do not know the exact number of tribes here but I am sure our ancestors are somewhere related.
Ahom in Assam and Tai in South China are the older Tai/Laos cilvilizations, judge by the similarity of speaking language Thai ancestor maybe migrated from either of 2 places or both. Personally I think Ahom culture look more similar to Shan state ( a Tai people state in Myanmar) or maybe Tai people in Thailand evolves differently since the country located between China and India also being port trading with many nationality while Ahom and South China Tai got heavy influence by one particular nation.
Wow, that’s interesting. I really like to see that
As a thai who was raised overseas, this was very informative. Thanks, great host too.

Ayutthaya was named after the Indian city of Ayodhya which is believed to be the birthplace of the God Rama. Those traditional outfits look very similar to the Kanchipuram sarees in India. Altho, they never went out of style here

Sawasdee ka, this is a treasure source to discover Ayutthaya’s history.Thank you very much for made this video 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ayutthaya sounds like Ayodhya ancient city of India where epic of Ramayan had writen at first. I can see so much similarities either both side.
You do not surprise Countries in Southeast Asia are influenced by Indian culture. Cities in Southeast Asia named as cities in India, such as ayutthaya from Ayodhya, derived from the names of the cities of Rama, Cambodia and Srivijaya mimic the names of cities in India.We are indebted to the culture of India.
The city name was influenced from Ramayana.
ayuthaya exist 11 century.. their influence from their neighbour country.. dont find any document trade with ancient india before
@@mrj475 Actually, thai culture is a mix of Hindunism and Buddhism. I think Hindunism came first and then Buddhism. Thats why the city and name were influenced from hindu religion.
dont claim everything because india, thailand has diferent culture compare to india, also indinesia is different compare to india, stop overproud of india thing
🙌 from Bolivia, so incredible, beautiful and interesting cultures araound southeast Asia
I ever saw some people from your country to become the Bhuddism monks in my country. Your are welcome to Thailand.
George Cœdès (1886 - 1969) the French scholar of Southeast Asian archaeology and history was a person who coined the term "Indianized States" to explain many Kingdoms in Southeast Asia including Ayutthaya which recieved many cultures from India, such as Hinduism and Buddhism. He was the director of National Library of Siam in 1918.
ayuthya exist 12th century mainly theravada.. i wonder where their get the hindu influence because mainly their are buddhism..
@@mrj475 Ayutthaya itself is a name derived from Ayodhya, the capital of Lord Ram in India from Ramayana,a Hindu epic. Many Kings had names like Rama I Rama II. That itself is Hindu influence, leave alone many Hindu temples in whole of SE Asia.
Be my friend whatsapp me on +917398248424 I want to know more about it. From India
@@mrj475 Hindu and Mahayan Buddhism influence came to this region since 7th century because Chola dynasty trade with Mon kingdom (ancient empire in this region) but around 12th century Sukothai kingdom (former Thai capital) receive Theravada Buddhism from Sri-Lanka. So you can find art and architecture from this era to modern day focus on concept of Theravada Buddhism but still have many mixture of Hinduism.
Now his studies is outdated .
I had the honor and privilege of visiting Ayutthaya back in 1989 and I will always cherish that experience!
This is the best documentary (in english) about Ayuthaya ever. Very informative and inspiring content.👍👌😍 Thanks Peter Lee and team. 👍👍👍👍👍😍

Hello
My great-grandfather was from China and my great-grandmother was Thai, and my grandfather was half-Thai, Chinese, and my grandmother came from a Thai-Chinese family.Therefore my father came from the Thai-Chinese family who married a Thai mother.Although my roots came from China, I am proud to say that I am Thai. I'm glad to be born in a country that has a long history for me to remember.
My grand father both sides are from China. My paternal grand ma is Chinese born in Thailand. My maternal grandma is Thai. I’m Thai of course.
Why not. Your current thai queen of king Rama 10 is half Chinese.her mother is Chinese.
Your root also from Thai not only China. It is same as mine.
@@tqverimuch1743 I would say that many Thai people are not proud of her or even care if she is half Chinese. Because for Thai people , Thai-Chinese will be counted as Thai and people would never cared the Chinese side. They don't feel being part of or attach to China. I'm a Thai Chinese myself anyway. :)
I'm Filipino. But I have a great fascination and curiosity on the History of Thailand.
Fact : Ayutthaya take its name from the ancient hindu city of ayodhya
That's why we call Sri Ayodhaya
As Peter Lee mentioned in his VDO that Ayutthaya was a mixed cultures city and society but mainly imported from the impact of religion both Hindu and Buddhist so that's why Ayutthaya has so many called names such as: - Krung Thep-Dvaravati Sri Ayutthaya - Ayutthaya Sri Rama Thep Nakorn etc., in the Ayutthaya era, they believed that the King was the Lord Rama in the Human form so that's why they bring the name of Ayodhya to use as the Capital city name "Ayutthaya"
King Suriyawongsa(Suriyaworamun. 1) King of Lawo - Ayutthaya & Khmer Empire. He come from India
Not only Ayutthaya in Thailand is root from india, also Yogyakarta in Indonesia the root name from India.
@@suchonchaipun317 Ayuthaya is in Tamilnadu
Here in india, my grandma used to make fire pot using the same technique of using mud and rice husk. It is interesting to know that this technique was practiced long time ago.
If there was no India, Thailand would be like Viet Nam

'Krabi Krabong' - Incredible ! This same fighting form is in the Indian state of Kerala with *same* fighting tools known as 'Kalaripayattu'. Battles and feuds would be settled with this deadly now art form in yester years!! It's found only in Kerala in India.
Manipuri martial art Thang Ta is also similar to this.
I really want to go to that part of India to see real fighting techniques. Muay thai is my favorite sport.
@@ubonratnatiawprasert533 Search for Kalari payattu and Thang Ta of Manipuri in youtube.

Simply superb! Love how you stitched together Ayuthaya's story through the various artefacts of the time
ขอบคุณมากๆที่คลิปนี่ขึ้นมา
Stop it, Khmer people and Thai People in this comment. Please stop fighting. Stop claiming things. Thai are Thai, Khmer are khmer. We all have our own culture. Could you please live peacefully without fighting for once? Please, just enjoy the documentary.
stop for what? Truth is to be told & spread..idiot!
And, We “Siamese” Have a hardened stone strong evidence even by a foreigner in those time record too!Like yours! And it need to be known by among yours too, thinking of each other heart and stop calling each other “idiots”
Kingdom of Thiefland

Watching this makes me want to go there again. The show is very interesting indeed.
19:25 This event are in all of Thai history textbook. And also accept by the Myanmar's scholar. In the situation of out numbered and may be defeated, King Naresuan said to prince Mingyi Swa "Instead of just watch our solder killing each other under the shade, We could avoid the unnecessary death if we just fight one on one." This means many things. Both of the king and the prince were value their own solder's life as worth to be save even though that means to risk their own life. And also means they're both confident in their own battling skills. They're also prideful. And there're back story as King Naresuan born as Ayutthaya prince was once captured by Burma when Ayutthaya was defeat the first time, The Burmese king Nanda Bayin raise the prince as one of his own child. So king Naresuan and Prince Mingyi Swa are like brothers who know each other so well. Both of them known to be love to challenge or compete each other since childhood. It's King Nanda Bayin himself who assign prince Naresuan back to Ayutthaya to rule the area under Burmise kingdom. Not knowing that prince Naresuan would liberate Ayutthaya back to it's own state like it was 15 years ago, Which make him become a king. Myanmar might see this action as rebelling instead of liberation. But every one agree that both king Naresuan and prince Mingyi Swa were legendary brave man who fought one on one over an elephant for the last time of the history, And end the battle, safe their men's life from unnecessary death. (That might also end up as a defeat for Ayutthaya)
I can't go to school in this covid world, but at least I can learn something watching CNA. Thank you!
It is one the greatest telling story I've seen though, very nice great job CNA!
Excellent presentation! Informative as it is educational. Thanks for posting and stay safe 🙏

Very good clip, it's informative. to go the right way, and now Thailand and Myanmar We have become good neighbors. Thank you very much from Thailand.
I loved all of this. I'm a quarter Thai and never felt like I got a chance to explore my roots. This video was amazing for helping me understand some of the history!
Hi from Thailand! Thank you for making this I feel like I learn Thai history more than when I was in school lol. Btw at 16:47 the word "musth" is actually pronounced "mun" in Thai, the full word is tok-mun, tok means fall and mun I guess it's derived from nam-mun (meaning "oil"), so the whole meaning of tok-mun is oil falling as it's described in the video.
40:27 I'm impressed with this documentary. He talked about one of my favorite lakorn. I come here to learn more about kingdom of Ayyuthaya after watching thai lakorn Bhuppae Sunniwat or known as "Love Destiny".
Wow ! Where are you from?
@@jubjangfest6422 phom maa jaak phratet Malaysia khrap 🙏
@@expertview8125 OMG! You speak Thai. It’s impressive. Thanks for your answer. I recommend you to watch Nueng Daow Fah Diew. It’s the following era. The timing after Siam defeated by Angwa (Burmese) in Thonburi Srimahasamutra’s era and KhaBadin is the timing before Siam was invaded by westerners in colonial era in the reign of King Rama III. They are worth to see. I guarantee. Hope you enjoy watching them. 😊They are all based on history.
Please bring this series back. Four episodes of these beautiful countries and rich histories is not enough. 🙏🏾

Thank you for honoring Thailand.
Thanks for making this history video. 🙏🏻
Such a wonderful insight into this great kingdom, I'm privileged that my wife carries the Ayutthaya name. I still find it hard to understand how the Burmese managed to topple such a prosperous Empire. Once again, thank you, on a quality production.
Love how you presenting the content.
Hello

Such an amazing Ayutthaya through your eyes .. Excellent job!!
To Peter Lee.Your costume is so night class and perfect.Thank you for great job.
I never knew how prosperous the Ayutthaya Empire was O.o It is eye opening
The characteristics of Thai people according to the view of Prince Damrong Rajanubhab (1862 - 1943) the younger brother of King Rama V (King Chulalongkorn 1853 - 1910 reigned 1868 - 1910) and one of the most important Thai History scholar s. 1.Freedom - Thai people like to live with freedom and will never let any other powers to have the power over them. Even sometimes Thais are under foreign influences, Thai people will fight until they get their freedom back. 2.Tolerance - Any foreigners, despite what their backgrounds, their races, their religions are, as long as they live properly and don't do anything wrong. They can live in Thai society with Thai people peacefully without discrimination. 3.Assimilation - Thai people can adapt other cultures into their own cultures. And, if any foreigners decide to live and settle in Thai society with Thai people, despite what their backgrounds, their races, their religions are, within 2 generations, even they preserve some aspects of their original cultures, they will be assimilated into Thai society and they will think that they are Thai or Thai with their original backgrounds. The Chinese people are the example, nearly all of Thai Chinese people recognize themselves as Thai or Thai Chinese.
Totally! Thai... Freedom! We were born with this trait!
@@carlvincentbriones9313 You know exactly nothing about Thai history.
@@carlvincentbriones9313 Do you know what happened after that?
hahhaha...because Thai is an ethnic Chinese from southern China..
Thai is good in negotiation and politic...... we nearly cause European war.
