21. Sukhothai presents special problems in the context of this essay because it did not possess a tamnan tradition. The only primary sources available for the study of Sukhothai are its inscriptions and monuments. The inscriptions are commemorative, they celebrate a ceremony of some kind, the dedication of a monastery, donations to the Buddhist order, the enthronement of a king, or an alliance between local kingdoms. (Piriya Kiairiksh, "Towards a Revised History of Sukhothai Art: A Reassessment of the Inscription of King Ram Khamhaeng", in The Ram Khamhaeng Controversy: Collected Papers, ed. James R. Chamberlain [Bangkok: The Siam Society, 1991], p. 62.) Although the inscriptions contain references to spirits, particularly ancestral and guardian spirits, they do not provide any information on the ascetics or holy men who may have been identified with them in Sukhothai culture. The "divine sprite of that mountain", for example, received the offerings of the king, who insists that the "right offerings" must be made. Prasert na Nagara and A. B. Griswold, "The Inscription of King Rama Gamhen of Sukhodaya (1292 A.D.)", p. 276, and "The Pact Between Sukhodaya and Nan", in Epigraphic and Historical Studies (Bangkok: The Historical Society, 1992), pp. 78, 84-85. The texts of the Sukhothai inscriptions often appear to be a forerunner of the Jinakalamali. There are similar references to guardian spirits (Prasert and Griswold, "King Lodaiya of Sukhodaya and His Contemporaries", Epigraphic and Historical Studies, p. 331, and Idem, "The Epigraphy of Mahadharmaraja I of Sukhodaya [part I]", p. 472) and miraculous relics.

34. Although Prasert na Nagara and A.B. Griswold's description of Sukhothai Buddhism as a blend of "Theravada Buddhism, Saiva Brahminism, and Tai Animism" ("The Pact Between Sukhodaya and Nan", p. 78) is undoubtedly correct, the inscriptions primarily celebrate the activities of devout Buddhists who invite guardian spirits, nagas, devas
35. (Idem, "Epigraphy of Mahadharmaraja I, Part I", pp. 520-21) and others to join in the celebration.

58. An anonymous reader has questioned my description of the Phrae rebellion as "secular", noting the leaders did use holy water. I am not sure how the use of holy water should be interpreted in this context. The Water of Allegiance was an important part of Thai state ritual. According to H.G. Quaritch Wales, Siamese State Ceremonies (London: Bernard Quaritch, 1931), pp. 193-98, both Buddhist and Brahmanic means were used in the preparation of the water. Buddhist monks chanted and a sacred thread surrounded the containers holding the water. Brahmans dipped royal weapons into the water, and it was a Brahman who read the text of the Oath. The text, in Wales' translation, appeals to both the Buddha and the guardian deities to ensure the kingdom's security and prosperity. However it refers only to the deities for the enforcement of the provisions of the oath. It ends entreating the Buddha to reward the officials, "let us abound with goods, glorious and limitless possessions...." In some instances, such as those at Phrae and the actions of Ai Saeng and Ai Sua (below), I feel that the ritual was copied for political purposes, not magical ones. It was a way of declaring the political legitimacy of the revolt. In other cases, as in the Chiang Mai case that follows, the water was clearly given magical properties that were expected to protect supporters from physical harm. For comments on the current controversies over the place of holy water in Buddhism see Grant A. Olson, "Cries over Spilled Holy Water: 'Complex' Responses to a Traditional Thai Religious Practice", in Journal of Southeast Asian Studies 22,1 (1991): 75-85. One of the ideas that I want to convey here is that concepts of the supernatural as well as attitudes towards it change over time. Olson, p. 76, fn. 4, refers to an unpublished paper by Sunait Chutintaranond, "The Political Control of Ayudhya Kings Through Magical Rituals" (International Association of Historians of Asia, 1983) in which Sunait refers to "the terror of magical ritual". Whatever the fear of magic had been during the Ayutthaya period, I doubt that central officials in the late nineteenth century shared that fear. I suspect that by this time they saw the ceremony primarily as an opportunity to see the king and to meet with other officials.

73. Ibid., p. 164. The importance of magic in nineteenth-century Lao villages appears to have been even greater than in twentieth-century Thai settlements. By the late twentieth century, magic in most Thai areas had clearly been domesticated as is noted by Terwiel: The most important activities which are reputed to generate magical power are the uttering of sacred words and meditation. Both monks and laymen can perform these activities. The monk's power is generally considered to be stronger, but he is limited in his application because of his superior ritual position. A monk should not lower himself to supplicate the unseen powers. That is why monks can consecrate a bowl of water at a marriage ceremony, but a lay ritual specialist is needed to present the couple to the ancestors. Lay experts raise their hands when asking a favor from one of the powers around them, but when a monk addresses the power from his exalted position he makes certain not to raise his hands.

109. Phra Khru Niam's declaration that he was a thewada suggests that he sought unusual, and legitimate, supernatural powers. A thewada is a benign spirit, of higher status than the typical phi. McFarland identifies the thewada with Brahminism, placing them above humans. George Bradley McFarland, M.D. Thai-English Dictionary (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1956), p. 423. A holy man who claims to be a thewada is making a very powerful and unusual statement, Phra Khru Niam's claim to be a son of a former official of Vientiane is also of interest. Chatthip, "Ideology", pp. 111-12, writes that many of the holy men who headed rebellions in the Northeast, particularly those of 1901-1902, 1924, and 1936, sought to reestablish Vientiane as the capital for all of the Lao. The document, CMH R. 4, 1222/238, recording the progress of Phra Khru Niam, is, to my best knowledge, the earliest to reveal the importance of Vientiane to the Lao population in the northeast. This does raise a question of historical consciousness among a peasant population. What was their recollection of their past history? Why was the memory of Vientiane more important than that of Champassak? C. Archaimbault would say that Vientiane was the center; its ruling family was legitimate, while that of Champassak was not (" Religious Structures in Laos", Journal of the Siam Society 52,1 [1964]: 57-74). However we can note that Vientiane was showing signs of revival by 1845 (CMH R.3, 1209/115). If Vientiane was being resettled during the 1840s, the Lao must have been aware of this. Furthermore, the rulers of Vientiane could have appeared as good monarchs who stood up to the Thai, whereas Champassak - in a peasant's view - was subordinate and unable to protect local peasants from corvee and taxation. The French developed Vientiane as their administrative center in Laos, in the process restoring some of its earlier prestige. But this raises another question. Why was Vientiane in 1924 and 1946 still perceived as Lao and not as French?

117. Bourotte writes that, "The general unrest was effectively prolonged by the spate of messiahs, who included, in this order: In 1880, a French warrant officer who deserted and settled in Kon Hering. In 1890, Kham and Khun, two Laotians claimed they could fly. Out of admiration for such extraordinary powers, the Moi showered them with gifts of chickens and pigs. When an Annamite challenged Kham to fly onto the verandah of a house on piles, the imposture was unmasked. In 1901, an Annamite cretin had a temple built in his honor and dedicated to him at Dak Uang. Father Vialleton destroyed his prestige. In 1908, a tame civet-cat from Robert's post was proclaimed a messiah. That same year, the Bahnar and Jarai paid homage to a self-styled ya who claimed to have instigated the revolt of the shorn hair in the plains of Central Annam."
