Abstract
This article aims to study the thoughts of Bhramism and Buddhism in “Chalermtriphop”, a Central Thai collection of myths. The result shows that the thoughts of Bhramism have two main ideas. One is the roles of God and the other is immortality and reviving life. As for the roles of God, there are five mentioned namely, the role played in creating the world, supporting human life, laying cultural foundation, controlling and protecting humans (protection and punishment), and synthesizing relations among nature, humans, and animals. The ideas of immortality and reviving life relate to concepts associated with Brahmin and the soul; whereas, Buddhism promotes three ideas: impermanency, human birth, and “Acinteyya”of the world and human. Moreover, it also reveals a blending of ideas between Bhramism and Buddhism.
