Siamese King Uthonpom's grave near Mandalay, Burma to be destroyed

http://www.irrawaddy.org/archives/9398 Uthompom was retired in a monastery when Hsinbyushin invaded Ayuthia in 1767. He was pulled out of the monastery and taken to Burma, where he died. The present Burmese military regime is making this great move for Thai-Burma relations. Brilliant.

Lovely Indian epic movie--but failed at the box office--Samrat Prithviraj.

Based on a real king and a real poet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samrat_Prithviraj The Princess is lovely, the king of another kingdom...
