The Panji story is a heroic tale dealing with the love, disguises, and adventures of a legendary Prince. This tale originated in East Java around the thirteenth century and has since spread throughout Southeast Asia. Since 2017, the Panji story has been acknowledged as part of Thai world heritage when the collections of Panji manuscripts were included in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.

The Panji story was introduced to Thailand around the eighteenth century. “Inao” is a well-known Thai version of the Panji story, presenting the typical plot and theme, including love, disguises, and, of course, that prince. The Thai version of the Inao story began to flourish within the context of the royal court in Bangkok before spreading widely among the public. To this day, Inao has not only been preserved as a quintessential example of Thai cultural heritage but is also manifest in an endless range of artistic and cultural productions. This presentation will examine the development of the Inao tradition in Thailand and its adaptation to changing social contexts.

China plays a large role in economic development not only in Thailand and around the world. Chinese language skills are coming to be regarded as important for cooperation and communication in economic and social matters. For this reason, bilingual Chinese-Thai schools are becoming more important in Thailand. But for Chinese teaching and learning in Thailand to become successful, it had to overcome challenges for curriculum development, accreditation in China and Thailand, and the recruitment of bilingual teachers. With the emergence of advanced Chinese language instruction as well as the rapidly growing popularity of the language in Thailand, the Ministry of Education is focused on establishing effective Chinese teaching strategy that compiles with internationally recognised standards. Hence, strategies to update Chinese educational instruction standards first designed in 2012.

Old Thai texts are traditionally dated by non-linguistic criteria such as material, content, letters and orthography. Fewer works which use language-internal criteria are usually limited to lexical and idiomatic features and less attention has been paid to the role of language changes. This lecture shows that semantic and grammatical changes of words can be used as an alternative criteria to date old Thai texts because these kinds of linguistic changes occur in a gradual and directional manner
