泰國泰族特性的轉變：以水牛樂團和Pi Bird皇家歌曲歌詞為例

泰族特性立基於「國家、宗教和國王」，這是泰國於二戰時推行的泰化政策，目的在於促進國族認同，使所有泰國族群都成為泰國人。隨著泰國政治邁向民主，千禧年後的泰族特性已從傳統強調國王和國家的政治觀點，慢慢轉向訴求多元文化與本土性的文化觀點，這是泰族特性內涵的轉變。本文以水牛樂團和Pi Bird皇家歌曲歌詞為例，依「國王和政府形象」、「百姓生活」、「尊王愛國」與「族群意識」等項目進行分析，發現兩者除了共同具有尊王愛國的情操外，其餘項目都出現強烈對比性。兩類歌曲的差異，可能是因為兩者在國族與族群意識上的不同，皇家歌曲以國王跟國家為中心，而水牛樂團的生活歌曲則以關懷弱勢族群為主。換句話說，這也是泰族特性從政治性轉向文化性的影響下，所造成的結果。

Thainess is mainly based on three things: the nation, the religion, and the king. This is assimilation policy of Thailand on World War II, aimed at promoting national identity, and let all people have become ＂Thai＂. Due to Tailand's democratization, Thainess has slowly turned to cultural perspectives from political perspectives, which is transformation of Thainess. This article analyzes Carabao and Pi Bird Pop music lyrics , exploring these respects about ＂image of king and the government＂, ＂people's lives＂, ＂love king and country＂ and ＂ethnic consciousness＂. The results of analysis find that ＂love king and country＂ is a common point, but the rest are presented in stark contrast. What make these songs different? The reasons maybe related to royal songs based on the king and the nation, but Carabao songs based on disadvantaged groups, so make two kinds songs different. In other words, POP music is a cultural form, when Thainess slowly turns to cultural perspectives from political perspectives, these POP songs which serve royalty or people, have shown different views on lyrics.
