HISTORY & MONARCHY

 

 

 

  Nai Dok

 

Thailand

Nai Dok is one of the eleven heroic leaders who in 1767 fought the invading Burmese in defence of the Bang Rajan camp in Singburi (fig.). In iconography, he is usually depicted holding a curved panabas-like sword, with a thick blunt tip and narrow near the hilt, reminiscent of a shakak thang, thangjau, or nawi battle ax.
