The Laws of King Mangrai (Mangrayathammasart)
Text and Context
Drawing on interpretations of popular Buddhist "texts," a recent analysis of Thai Buddhist conceptions of female gender has questioned the contemporary relevance of a long-standing sexual division of labor in Thai society based in a view that, in Buddhist terms, women are deemed to be more "attached" to worldly objects than are men. This paper argues that the available evidence supports rather than impugns the view of a Thai sexual division of la…
Cosmology and Ecology as Factors in Interpreting Early Thai Social Organization

Complexity in the Thai Religious System
Complexity has characterized the Thai religious system since at least 1292, when the well-known inscription of Rama Kamhaeng was composed. This inscription not only celebrates the devotion of his people of Sukhothai to Theravada Buddhism but also notes a special relationship between the prosperity of the kingdom and reverence for Phra Khaphung, a "spirit-deity" living in a nearby mountain. Phra Khaphung is characterized as a phī-thewadā, combinin…
