Scope and content : December 28, 1959. John Murnaine, the consul, thought that people in the North were more sincere and straightforward than those in Bangkok. Especially in regards to the relationship between the northern people of Thailand and people of the Shan state in Myanmar, which remained on good terms. It was a different perspective than that of the Thais in central Thailand. They considered the people from Shan State not to be their kin. The people of Shan state also considered themselves ‘pure Thai,’ and not like the people from central Thailand, who were ‘half-breed.’
