		If the downtown traffic lived up to its reputation, the traffic on the other side of the river, in the former capital district of Thonburi, was even worse.
		Traffic clogged the streets around the district's major temples, as New Year's day is a traditional time for Buddhist believers to visit temples and ask for blessings in the new year.

		Second, the sharp demarcation between Thonburi and Bangkok is not justified.
		While European merchants stuck to the name of Bangkok for their place of stopover, the community left and right of the Chao Phaya River was known to the Siamese as the town of Thonburi, having been elevated from the village status of Bangkok King Taksin chose Thonburi as his capital.

		During the prelude of fifteen years, a greater part of which was occupied in driving our the enemy and restoring the peaceful situation of the country, what could be done to Buddhism was merely a general revival of Buddhism, not to say the compiling of new texts and other measures for the propagation of Buddhism.
		In the reign of King Thonburi he had several temples repaired, monastic rules settled, religious texts collected and the study and practice of Buddhism revised to some degree.
		It is safe, however, to say that Theravada Buddhism in the form of that of Ayutthaya was still prevailing in Thonburi period.
