A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna journey north to explore the Lanna Kingdom, a powerful Tai state that maintained its independence for centuries before being absorbed into Siam. They delve into the founding of Chiang Mai by King Mengrai in 1296, the kingdom's unique culture blending Theravada Buddhism with indigenous animist traditions, and its complex relationship with Burmese invaders and Siamese neighbors. The story includes the legendary figure of Queen Chamadevi, the sacred Phra Singh Buddha image, and the devastating fall of Chiang Mai to the Burmese in 1558. Lucas explains how Lanna's distinctive art, architecture, and language survived integration into Siam, and how modern Thailand's northern region still bears the Lanna imprint. The episode also touches on the contested history of Lanna's independence and its eventual incorporation under King Chulalongkorn's centralization reforms.
