Most of imaginative literary works in Thai, before the 19th century, were composed in poetry. Consequently, although many literary works were lost with the sack of Ayutthaya in 1767, Thailand still has a great number of epic poems or long poetic tales -- some with original stories and some with stories drawn from foreign sources. The Siamese poetical medium consists of five main forms, known as ''khlong'', ''chan'', ''kap'', ''klon'' and ''rai''; some of these developed indigenously while others were borrowed from other languages. Thai poetry dates to the Sukhothai Kingdom, Sukhothai period (13th–14th centuries) and flourished under Ayutthaya Kingdom, Ayutthaya (14th–18th centuries), during which it developed into its current forms.

Chan (; of ), from Sanskrit '' dhyāna'' (meaning " meditation" or "meditative state"), is a Chinese school of Mahāyāna Buddhism. It developed in China from the 6th century CE onwards, becoming especially popular during the Tang and Song dynasties.
