Life, Anchalee Kongrut, Published on 16/02/2012
» Bhawan Ruangsilp, a history lecturer at Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Arts, finds the past intriguing. But her fascination is not limited only to Thai history. The 40-year-old historian is an expert in the history of Asian and European relations. She graduated with a bachelor's degree from Chulalongkorn's Faculty of Arts, with a major in German language and minor in history, and pursued her graduate studies, majoring in German history, at Tubingen University in Germany. She later received a doctorate degree from Leiden University in the Netherlands for her study of the Dutch East India Company (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie _ VOC), which conducted brisk trade in the Court of Ayutthaya during 1604-1765. Her research offers new perspectives of the Kingdom of Siam through different evidence.
