Publications in Commemoration of the “Rattanakosin Bicentennial 1982, Thailand”

Abstract

About one hundred books and journals have been published in commemoration of the “Rattanakosin Bicentennial 1982” in fields like history, arts, archaeology, literature, custom and tradition. All of them emphasize the glorious history of the Chakri dynasty and its capital, Bangkok, and the traditional Thai culture. It is also noteworthy that some of the publications include beautiful colour pictures of the interior of the Chakri palace, never before published. These books and pictures help us to understand the cultural background of the Chakri dynasty and the Thai people.
