Two preceding papers have introduced the origins of Thai agricualture up to the 13th century. Rice agriculture continued to progressively improvle and expand, thereby allowing political development to build on community formations, the civil leadership of water managers, and embryonic administrative structures. Assisted by an embracing and pragmatic nature, discriminate absorption of technologies and cualtural elements in an ongoing culturala evolution produced a resilient dualism in both the production of domestic and export/urban rice varieties, and in religious beliefs supporting agriculture. This and environmental modification enabled agriculture to continually produce significant surpluses from minimal human inputs in an expanding society which favored a simple cuisine.
