This article considers Javanese presence, and influence in Central Thai between the Ayutthaya period and early Bangkok period, asking whether Siam&#8217;s captivation with Javanese cultural forms represent an anomaly or reflect Ayutthaya\u2019 cosmopolitan past. I begin by summarising references to Javanese presence in Ayutthaya and Bangkok in a range of primary and secondary sources. These confirm that, although located inland on a navigable river, Ayutthaya resembled the maritime city-states of the era. Drawing extensively on the work of Davisakd Puaksom, I consider the personalities and processes involved in the arrival, adoption, and adaption of the Javanese epic, Panji, best known in Thailand as <em>Inao<\/em>. Far from a cultural anomaly, I argue that Siam\u2019s <em>Inao <\/em>fetish is a reminder about the region\u2019s connectedness, and that Ayutthaya was strikingly similar to cosmopolitan Melaka.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Ayutthaya, Bangkok, Java, Javanese, cosmopolitanism, Panyi, <i>Inao<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Christopher M.
