Abstract
During the reign of Rama III (1788-1851) of the Bangkok Dynasty (1824-1851) in Thailand, which is equivalent to the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty in China. At that time, Thailand was a powerful country because of its maritime trade. Due to their strong belief in Buddhism, a large number of Buddhist temples were built and restored in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. This period was the most frequent period of cultural and economic exchanges between China and Thailand, which contributed to the spread of Chinese art in Thailand. In addition, the King Rama III was a big fan of Chinese art, and the Thai temple murals of this period show a great number of Chinese elements. This is of great value not only for the study of the representative art styles in the early Bangkok dynasty in Thailand, but also for the study of the spread and use of Chinese art overseas.
