The Royal Turf Club of Thailand under Royal Patronage ( Thai : ราชตฤณมัยสมาคมแห่งประเทศไทย ในพระบรมราชูปถัมภ์ ) is a sports club in Thailand , formerly located at its historic horse racing venue in Bangkok , which was commonly known as the Nang Loeng Racecourse ( สนามม้านางเลิ้ง ). It was founded in 1916 by a group of aristocrats as an alternative to the Royal Bangkok Sports Club , and became highly popular during the first half of the twentieth century. Horse racing in Thailand declined in popularity towards the end of the twentieth century, and the Royal Turf Club likewise saw large falls in spectator numbers. Nevertheless, it continued to hold races every other Sunday, until its land lease was terminated by the Crown Property Bureau in 2018 and the site redeveloped into King Rama IX Memorial Park . The club was long known as a site of business and political networking among the elite, especially senior military figures.
49-824: Annual award for architectural conservation in Thailand The Architectural Conservation Award ( Thai : รางวัลอนุรักษ์ศิลปสถาปัตยกรรมดีเด่น ) is given by the Association of Siamese Architects [ th ] in recognition of architectural conservation efforts by both the public and private sectors in Thailand . The awards, first given in 1982 and held annually since 2004, are presented to multiple winners in three categories, namely: buildings, people/organizations, and vernacular communities. List of recipients [ edit ] [REDACTED] This list
98-411: A dialect continuum . Thai language is spoken by over 69 million people (2020). Moreover, most Thais in the northern (Lanna) and the northeastern (Isan) parts of the country today are bilingual speakers of Central Thai and their respective regional dialects because Central Thai is the language of television, education, news reporting, and all forms of media. A recent research found that the speakers of
147-551: A second language among the country's minority ethnic groups from the mid-late Ayutthaya period onward. Ethnic minorities today are predominantly bilingual, speaking Thai alongside their native language or dialect. Standard Thai is classified as one of the Chiang Saen languages—others being Northern Thai , Southern Thai and numerous smaller languages, which together with the Northwestern Tai and Lao-Phutai languages, form
196-533: A four-way distinction among stops and affricates . The maximal four-way occurred in labials ( /p pʰ b ʔb/ ) and denti-alveolars ( /t tʰ d ʔd/ ); the three-way distinction among velars ( /k kʰ ɡ/ ) and palatals ( /tɕ tɕʰ dʑ/ ), with the glottalized member of each set apparently missing. The major change between old and modern Thai was due to voicing distinction losses and the concomitant tone split . This may have happened between about 1300 and 1600 CE, possibly occurring at different times in different parts of
245-457: A high level of cronyism in its administration, which controlled its large amounts of cash flow. Additionally, the races also served as a venue for networking among politicians and business people, who comprised most of the participating stable owners. Most of the provincial stable owners were also honorary members of the Royal Turf Club, making the club effectively the central hub among all of
294-621: A large central hall, covered by a steel tied truss roof structure with no pillar support. The building, which later housed badminton courts, received the ASA Architectural Conservation Award in 1984 and is listed as an unregistered ancient monument by the Fine Arts Department. By the time of its closure, races at the Nang Loeng Racecourse generally took place every other Sunday afternoon, alternating with
343-544: A park commemorating the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej , the designs of which were unveiled by the Bureau of the Royal Household in 2021. Construction of the new site, to be known as King Rama IX Memorial Park , is scheduled to take place until 2024. The club covered about 200 rai (32 ha; 79 acres) of land between Phitsanulok , Rama V, Si Ayutthaya and Sawankhalok Roads, and featured facilities including, in addition to
392-525: A syllable that formerly began with a voiceless consonant (including glottalized stops). An additional complication is that formerly voiceless unaspirated stops/affricates (original /p t k tɕ ʔb ʔd/ ) also caused original tone 1 to lower, but had no such effect on original tones 2 or 3. The above consonant mergers and tone splits account for the complex relationship between spelling and sound in modern Thai. Modern "low"-class consonants were voiced in Old Thai, and

The country was then under the dictatorships of Sarit Thanarat and Thanom Kittikachorn , and army generals Kris Sivara , Surachit Charuserani and Chote Hiranyasthiti came to control the club's administration.

Gradually toward the end of
1617-547: The most significant changes occurred during the evolution from Old Thai to modern Thai.

The public mostly saw racecourses as gambling venues where immoral activities took place, and other (illegal) forms of sport gambling also ate into their revenues.

However, in later times the rule was not strictly enforced, and most rentals subsequently disappeared. The club hosted three major events annually:
