Popular Post CMHomeboy78 Posted January 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2014 What sacred place? The corner forts of Chiang Mai are indeed sacred to those Kohn Muang who still have some knowledge and respect for their own history and culture. Historically the fortifications of Chiang Mai were a physical defence against attack. Beyond that, they were part of the traditional geomancy that constituted the boundries of the holy city, with the omphalos / anima loci / sadu muang at the center, and the royal palace representing Mt. Meru. The Finlayson Map of Chiang Mai illustrates this very well. Andrew Forbes' informative essay 'The Enigma of the Finlayson Map' in his Ancient Chiang Mai series of ebooks [CPA Media.Vol. III] is a good source of information, and would certainly dampen the urge to pose semi-nude on the remains of Chiang Mai's glorious past. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 And on the other side of the wall (as of an hour ago) there are people camping! Two tents and a couple of push bikes set up there, maybe rental bikes but I didn't have time for a decent look. Wow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokay Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 What sacred place? Don't be silly. It's the same sacred places where hordes of Thais wearing bikinis and wet clothes go every year, usually in a drunken state, to throw water on each other and jump into the moat during Songkran. It's also the same sacred place where many Thai males hang out drinking at, often taking a wizz there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also the same sacred place where many Thai males hang out drinking at, often taking a wizz there. Your observation that many Thais show little or no respect for historical sites is quite true. The same could probably be said for a minority of people in almost every other country in the world. What is the point or inference of your post? That the disrespect shown by some make it acceptable for everybody else? The wholesale destruction of Chiang Mai's cultural heritage by commercial interests and the government itself in the name of 'progress' and 'development' began with greed and this kind of ignorance. If you were here in the 1970s you will remember the area around Wat Jet Yot and how beautiful it was until they widened the superhighway and allowed unrestricted building to transform it out of recognition. Many other examples could be given. What hasn't been lost already should be cared for - as far as possible - by all of us, Thai and farang.

heybruce Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Obviously a frustrated woman who could not find a more suitable location to display her assets. Clearly there is an unmet need for a venue where women with bikini bodies can show off what they have. We need to find a convenient, central location for regularly scheduled bikini shows, And if some of these women also want to show off their wet t-shirt talents, then who among us would deny them that right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very high quality reproduction of the Finlayson Map of Chiang Mai is included, along with several other period maps, in the book The Gold and Silver Road to Trade and Friendship: The McLeod and Richardson Diplomatic Missions to the Tai States in 1837 [silkworm Books 2003].

mesquite Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 How were they supposed to know it was sacred? Note the article says "Non-Thai female" and "foreign male photographer." Another example of "blame the foreigner." Typical Thai BS where they make up the rules, don't tell anyone, then blame people for not reading their minds and following those secret rules.
