In the second quarter of the nineteenth century, Thai Buddhist temples in Bangkok began to be built and decorated in a Chinese style, a school of art called phraratchaniyom, or "the king's preference." The principle patron was Rama III, King Nangklao (r.1824--1851), who maintained close trade relationships with China and provided economic opportunities for the rapidly growing number of Chinese immigrants in Siam. This study examines how the interests of several communities, including the royal family, the traders from China who had acquired fortune and title in the Thai court, and the immigrant Chinese artisans who sought employment in Bangkok, converged in the development of phraratchaniyom painting. A number of Third Reign temples, such as Wat Ratcha Orot, Wat Kanlayanamit, Wat Phakhininat, Wat Nak Prok, and Wat Prasert Sutthawat, all contain phraratchaniyom murals. The murals fall into two broad types: narrative scenes from the Chinese historical epic Romance of the Three Kingdoms and symbolic arrangements of auspicious imagery derived from popular domestic art in southern China. Hokkiens (Fujianese) were the dialect group most actively involved with the Siamese court in producing temples decorated with these themes, and stylistic parallels can be traced between temple murals in Bangkok and Fujian. In the process of translation between cultures, forms of art that had been dismissed as vulgar and provincial in the dominant Chinese aesthetic of literati refinement were elevated, in Siam, to the epitome of cultivated taste. Although the phraratchaniyom school did not long outlive Rama III, the paintings survive as important visual documents from the Chinese diaspora. The Third Reign was one of the most bold and experimental periods in the history of Thai art, and phraratchaniyom painting, a kind of Southeast Asian chinoiserie, was the last artistic movement to emerge in Siam before the Fourth Reign's engagement with the West inspired a new enthusiasm for mimesis and perspective.
