[Eng Sub] From coolies to lords. Powerful Thai Chinese of the Kra Isthmus, and their delicacies.

Driving to the Isthmus of Kra, Southern Thailand!
Isthmus of Kra, a narrow piece of land ruled by the Kings of Thai for over 700 years, a place that could shift Thailand's geo-political influence to another level.
During the 18th century, Siamese elites has already aware of the significance of a canal connecting Pacific Ocean to Indian Ocean, and how it could change the fate of the Kingdom of Siam. But the ambitious plan was halt by the British Empire, to protect the British interest of it's Port of Singapore, which is the natural shipping lane connecting the two great oceans.
And so the Kra Canal plan was halted for 2 centuries, until 2019, Thailand Elites are determined to move ahead with the project, and therefore Kra Isthmus, had once again became significant.
But little do I know, that actually in the 18th to 19th century, the Isthmus of Kra was ruled by Chinese. Two ambitious Hokkian entrepreneurs, built their regime from ground up, from business man, to the trustful governors of the Siamese Kings, and eventually became Thai nobles.
I knew nothing about this, until I came to Trang for my eat sleep and repeat holiday.

Yes in Penang there is a Road named after Khaw Sim Bee and a lot Thai family sent their children to Han Chuang and other independant chinese schools to study Mandrain.

[@Uncle_Water]

Yes I heard that's where his Penang home was at right? Also when I was in Hatyai I bummed into a Indonesian Chinese retiree couple from Medan, they said they went Penang to see doctor and later came down to Hatyai for a short vacation. They said Medan is very near to Penang that's why they visit Penang very often. I wonder is there any Indonesian students from Sumatra who studies in those Chinese Indy Schools also?

[@thenorthernpalace261]

@@Uncle_Water I can confirm that there are many Indonesian students from Medan who study in colleges and universities in Penang. :)

非常喜欢博主的视频，能学到不少东南亚的地理历史知识，尤其是华人的故事。非常棒。看博主视频让我想起我的一个同事，聪明漂亮的马来小姑娘，她从小会说四种语言，英语，普通话，马来语，广东话，还会一些闵南话，真让人羡慕。
