Main Article Content
Abstract
This article aims to study the reproduction of Phantai Narasingha in present Thai society.
The findings show that various forms of Phantai Narasingha reproduction can exemplify how
traditions are created by applying and interpreting the local history in the new contexts.
This reflects the condition of cultural dynamics which have been changed due to the social
contexts, particularly the contexts of tourism and capitalism. These changes can be seen through
the reproduction of amulets and films responding to the capitalism world or the organization of
provincial tourism festivals such as ‘City of Honesty’, ‘Wedding Ceremony’, and ‘Marathon for
Honesty’. Phantai Narasingha worship ceremony is another strategy used to create provincial
identity through local historical tales. It can be said that these activities are all responding to
the country’s tourism policy. Besides these, the reproduction of Phantai Narasingha has resulted
in the community development in various aspects as well as building up people’s awareness
which helps strengthen the community.
