I 'm Thai, when I see this I feels like I come back to the root of culture. many Thai culture was from Khmer. Many thing in this video are relates. This make our Khmer and Thai culture are very beautiful and this is the reason why we should harmonize together.

@krayziek161 You guys are so lucky to have a teacher teach you guys! We don't have a teacher so we learn by video. My mom's friend is a former dancer and she teaches me some techniques, but she can't teach cause she's too busy.

So, Symbolize - the word "Thailand" represent only the "Nationalism period" in Thailand.

From the past to now, even though Siam become Thailand. But anthropologically, the meaning of the words "Siam" and "Thailand" are not difference.

@pasa6370

In reality, we can not say that this country is "Thai-land" because the word "Thai+Land" come from the nationalism period of Thailand. The people in this country call them self for "ชาวสยาม" (Chao-Siam=Siamese) and this country is name "Siam". Siam is not only "Tai" place but it's many many hundred race were living together until now.

Like Thai culture. However, I believe that even though it was not create by Thai people but Thai people become a re-creator. Now, even we still unsure about the origin of "Tai". But we sure that today, on the land of the Kingdom of Thailand - there are mixed of people from various race like Thai, Khmer, Morn, Youn, Malay, Chinese, Japanese, Arab, etc.This is how Thai culture proceed till now.

[pasa6370]

Do you agree with me?

Now we should talking about the culture without any nationalism feeling.

Because of the culture was not rough like a nationalism.

The culture had it's own origin but it can transmit from that time to now by many difference nationality of mankind.

The culture was born by one but it can inherit by the other who can appreciate in it.

[lchan90a]

i agree with you! we should embrace both cultures, we are very similar to each other.
