Yes, this article was overdue! But I thought the dictator's nickname was Paw, as in pa, papa, dad or daddy. --Pawyilee (talk) 10:58, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Siam" remnants

The Crown Prince and Princess Royal are Prince and Princess of Siam, but I don't know the dates those titles were established. They do indicate a nostalgia for Siam. I also encountered a remark somewhere that a Lao king of that erasaid would not mind being called Thai, but would object to being called Siamese. --Pawyilee (talk) 10:58, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thai woman shown in traditional clothing.

This may be the name of the portrait, but should not be taken as fact. I find no evidence of this in the writings of 19th century visitors to Siam, such as John Crawfurd, Edmund Roberts (diplomat), William Ruschenberger, and James McCarthy, the British surveyor who participated in the 1883 Siamese expedition in the Haw wars and wrote at length on Lan Xang. His work includes photographs of crowds, but no bared bosoms. --Pawyilee (talk) 06:52, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still in force?

Which of these mandates, specifically, are still in force, and which are abolished? For example, are men today allowed to wear sarongs, or is that prohibition still in place? V85 (talk) 19:06, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They are now customary practices without the force of law, unless some other law applies; it's mot like getting a parking ticket. I wear a sarong just about everywhere without a problem, with the sole exception of Wat Phra Kaew, which has a changing room for tourists to put on sweats if their clothing is considered inappropriate, though I'm likly the only man ever flagged for wearing a sarong. I had no problem wearing one at Khao Phra Wihan National Park. --Pawyilee (talk) 06:57, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
