Patamaporn Sawangwong , Asst.Prof. Phuvanart Rattanarungsikul — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0700

This research investigates the existence of animistic beliefs embedded in the vernacular houses of the Pga k’nyau (Sgaw Karen) and Phlong (Pwo Karen) communities in Li District, Lamphun Province, Northern Thailand. The study interprets spirits as cultural signs that encode values of Goodness, Truth, and Beauty, which are expressed through architectural forms and ritual practices. A qualitative research design within the ethnographic tradition was employed, utilizing participant observation, in-depth interviews, and architectural mapping to analyze symbolic meanings in household spaces.

Findings reveal that architectural elements such as the main post, fireplace, stairs, and ritual crossbeam (Ta Law) function not only as structural features but also as boundary markers that mediate the relationships among humans, spirits, and nature. These spatial symbols embody animistic ontology and sustain cultural balance, reflecting the lived philosophy of coexistence among the Pga k’nyau and Phlong. The study highlights how vernacular houses operate as sacred spaces that preserve indigenous knowledge and communicate cultural identity across generations.

Politics in the Literature of Khun Chang Khun Phaen

Sat, 29 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The objectives of this article are to study: 1. the background of the literature Khun Chang Khun Phaen, and 2. the political dimensions within this literary work. The study was conducted through a review of relevant documents, textbooks, and research, which were analyzed in relation to Thai political concepts and phenomena. The findings are as follows:

The background of Khun Chang Khun Phaen is significant for understanding the social structure of the late Ayutthaya period. The work was later compiled into written form during the Rattanakosin period; therefore, The Thai verse (Sepha) Khun Chang Khun Phaen is categorized as a literary work of the early Rattanakosin era.
Politics in Khun Chang Khun Phaen can be explained through four key themes: 1) Intra-state political structure: The power center was established under the concepts of Divine Right and Devaraja (Divine Kingship), where authority was derived from or descended from the deities. The feudal nobility (Sakdina) acted as the administrative mechanism, a concept that gave rise to the social class system. 2) Inter-state political structure: This involves maintaining the balance of power between centralized states. Several methods were mentioned, such as political marriages, the deployment of key warlords to govern frontier cities, the assignment of officials skilled in trade or agriculture to oversee productive regions, and the expansion of royal authority through warfare. 3) Social control: The maintenance of social order was achieved through both codified laws and the enforcement of customary traditions. 4) The traditional state and economic drivers: The economic structure reflected an agrarian state, utilizing a blend of Buddhist and animist beliefs as a key strategy to cultivate public faith and devotion.

THE LEGALITY OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN SELF-DEFENSE UNDER INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW: A CASE STUDY OF THE DISPUTE BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES, ISRAEL, AND IRAN

Dolnapa Nantawaroprai — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0700

Abstract

This article aims to examine and analyze the principle of self-defense under the Charter of the United Nations in the context of the use of force and methods of warfare, taking into account international humanitarian law as a body of customary international law. The study focuses on situations involving attacks against the territorial integrity of a State, particularly those targeting civilian areas and causing destruction to food and energy resources, rather than directly undermining military security. It also considers responses that may affect the territory of neutral States.

The article further observes that, although in theory the use of nuclear weapons may be invoked under extreme necessity, in practice such measures remain subject to stringent legal limitations and are difficult to reconcile with the principles of necessity and proportionality under international law.
