| Abstract | In the following passages, I am going to bring out several self-proclaimed “Holy Men” emerged during the long-history of Thai Political dynamics. Among them, someone came up from the center of different parties of contesting powers for the throne, the symbol of the highest power of human realm; someone rose up as the military leader to defend the external invasions; some others, even led the people to claim the state-independence from the central court. Apart from their ambitions, they were mainly active in central Thailand, the region closer to the central power, Ayutthaya in history, though their origins could be traced back to the Northern or Northeast Thailand. It should also be noted, I am intending to avoid any political standpoints in the paper. Rather, I just locate my ambition to bring out several variances of “Holy Men”, occurring in Thai political dynamics, based on the categories laid out by the western scholarships above. It is also worthy to point out that I am going to outline “Holy Men”, by following the dynastic axis of Thai polity respectfully. |
