The great cannon Dvaravati (which moonlighted as the guardian spirit of the city of Ayutthaya) having refused to fire at the enemy, on 7 April 1767, 250 years ago, the Burmese army stormed the Siamese capital and put the city to the sack and to the torch, destroying innumerable cultural and religious objects and human lives, as well as providing the royal court at home with a great number of err female entertainers.
With Burma facing another war with China, the occupation proved short-lived; we still have Siam/Thailand... with its female entertainers.
