As part of the kaleidoscope project we aim to preserve endangered culture in Thailand due to globalization. In Thai society because of the younger generations rejecting traditional culture due to the adoption of western cultures traditional forms of culture are being superseded. For the new generation, they tend to like the western culture because for them it is like a symbol of modernism and technology in cities. Also, because of the foreign tourism in rural provinces of Thailand, the culture naturally will change to meet the tourist's needs, resulting in the disappearance of the original culture. The reason for this is because younger generations wanting to seek better opportunities for work in cities and leave rural areas.

The Kaleidoscope Museum project is a project within members of my group. The aim of this project is to preserve the unique cultures of developing countries and to preserve their rich cultural heritage. As a member of this project, I will be focusing on Thailand's culture with my partner, Lester. Providing 15 different perspectives. Thailand’s culture has been deeply influenced by religion, as most of the population is Buddhist. In 2014, Thailand’s military took control from the government and returned ‘order’ on multiple things. This was one of the reasons why Thailand’s culture has started to become endangered. Through our online media community, Padlet, we will be showcasing the different perspectives and their importance, providing reasons on why we should preserve Thailand’s culture.

22. Leather puppets ( Gallery)

The leather puppet tradition is an old tradition that lasted around 50 centuries but is rarely heard about nowadays. It is known for its skills when making and even performing. The puppet is made without color or people. It is a shadow puppet, so even though there are colors, when performing, audiences are only seeing shadows of the puppet, so the color still doesn’t matter. Similar kinds of traditions are seen in Malaysia, Cambodia, and Indonesia. The performance requires a minimum of at least 10 performers: the main manipulator/narrator, his assistant, the orchestra, and the team, which is only separated from the audience by a white screen.

23. Red Fanta for Gods

Red Fanta is red, and so is the color of blood.

And it is often seen in spirit houses in front of Thai homes as an offering, or even in temples, but it’s less likely to happen because it is more formal.

In schools, they taught Buddhist stuff, so most Thai people were Buddhist at the time. There’s even a rule that you need to at least go be a monk before you become an adult. And in normal lives, when people run into problems such as mental or paranormal things, they also seek help from the monks; their rankings are even higher than the kings and queens!

Kite flying, also known as kikik in Brunei Darussalam, layang in Indonesia, vao in Laos, wau in Malaysia, soon hult in Myanmar, guryon in the Philippines, len wow in Thailand, and tha dieu in Vietnam, is a fun play that attempts to make the kite fly in the wind. The kite is popular with everyone and can be seen all around ASEAN. The shape, pattern, timing, and location of their flight reflect the ecology and culture of each place. An open location where the line may be unwound is ideal for kite flying. They are flown for major occasions and festivals like the New Year, when the farming season begins or finishes, and when the harvest is completed. During the monsoon season, when it is windy, they are typically played along the shore. ASEAN kites are often called for their shapes, such as bird, fish, crescent moon, diamond, cat, butterfly, and stingray kites. Typically, the frame is composed of well-dried bamboo broken into tiny slivers. In Malaysia, for example, a unique species of bamboo known as buluh duri is regarded as the best, and bamboos planted near the coast are prized because people think spirits reside in plants. In general, the purpose of kite flying is to fly them as high as possible, and the other is to break the string of the opponent's kite by covering the kite string in a glass or rock power paste. While the first type is the most simple method, the second form is more competitive. Kite flying has a shamanistic element in several nations, particularly in fishing and agricultural regions, and is said to draw out ill-luck and bring in good fortune.

Tuk-tuk is a common transportation in Thailand, you can see it almost everywhere, it looks like a motorcycle with three wheels as you can see in the photo. In Thailand, Tuk-tuks are regarded as taxis, and the price is set based on the traveled distance, but no taximeter. However, if you easily believe the price he offers, don’t be angry about getting scammed, the driver will usually add up the price a little, so that he can earn more money. Remember to save your money as long as you haggle with him. In addition, some divers will deliberately take a longer path, or drive you to jewelry stores(or other attractive stores), and invite you to go shopping. In order to avoid wasting your time, I suggest you to research the fastest route before taking the ride, and show the driver what route you want to take. For short distances, taking the Tuk-tuk is the best choice.

Songthaew is a very common vehicle in Thailand. It looks like a truck with a ceiling on the seats behind the truck. The reason why this vehicle called Songthaew is because there is two rows of seats behind the truck, and “Songthaew” means two rows, therefore this vehicle is called Songthaew. In Thailand, Songthaews are regarded as buses, there are 5 different colors, and each color has its own route, except for the color red, red Songthaew has several routes where no fixed route has been determined, and the other four colors, which are yellow, blue, green, white, they all have their route, the route will be posted on the side of the car. The price of all Songthaews are the same, which is about 10-30 baht, when you want to take a ride, just wave your hand to it, and there is a button where you can press to let the driver know that you want to get off at the next stop.

Homogeneity/ ”Melting Pot”/Cultural Hybridity

Yes, because when one place has tourism, it usually opens the cultural part and when foreigners come to the country, they experience different cultures and some might feel weird and so the culture naturally changes into ones that the foreigners like and want, and later, it will become a world culture due to the changing of culture to meet foreigner’s need. For example, the Songkrsn festival in Thailand changed from a buddhist festival into a water war festival and originally the water war was only part of the Songkran, and not the most important part.
