Thank you for very interesting story,I have seen statue of Taksin's horse in Pattaya🍅🍓🐎
Thank you too, Heikki.🙏
Isaan people love the prime minister Taksin.
I think you mean Thaksin Shinawatra, but I agree many in Isaan supported him. 🙏
Taksin the Great is the hidden god of all Thai-Kings my wife told me. Always we visit Ayuttaya, she is going to praise him. I believe that is very common in Thailand.
Thanks for sharing that information Charly Brown, and I agree with your comment.🙏
I would like to call him Napoleon of Southeast Asia. He hailed from a non-royal family, taking power from turmoil, saving the country from invasions, setting sail to beat everyone up, and finally getting overthrown by his own men.
Thank you for your insightful comment! Comparing King Taksin to Napoleon is quite fascinating. Both leaders indeed rose from humble beginnings to achieve remarkable military and political success. King Taksin’s efforts in unifying Thailand and his strategic prowess are truly commendable. It is nice to see comments highlighting the rich history and achievements of such influential figures.🙏🙏🙏
@@IsaanFlicksThailand glad to contribute some humble insights, sir. Legacy of the sole Thonburi monarch might eventually reshape Southeast Asian geopolitics until this day even lthough he is not considered a global influencer like the French Emperor. But to be fair, his short reign marked one of the most extraordinary lives in Asian history
@@pierreiiidenormandie625 Well said!
I used to meet some Chinese businessmen from a town named Shantou (Guangdong), King Taksin's paternal hometown. I heard a story that their ancestors fought under the King, whom they considered a countryman, to oust the Burmese force from Siam. They even built him a tomb after his death. And now there have been many efforts to create the cultural link between the town and Siam, by reviving the Thonburi King's legacy in Chinese soil... long story though. So it is hard to say it in just a few words
Under his rule, as many said, everyone was equal. No matter, if you were Thai, Chinese, or Khmer or Vietnamese, under his lordship, they were all Siamese. No doubt why there is no significant critics against him across the Southeast Asian mainland
