National Artist 2005. Taught fon jerng and muay thai for fifty years without charging.
What it is
5 September 1930 – 22 November 2015, Chiang Mai. National Artist in the performing arts, 2548 BE, for Lanna dance, martial arts and drumming.
The long version
Finished primary school at Wat Si Don Chai, helped his parents trade, and learned the fighting arts, the music and the Lanna drums from whoever had them. Then taught them on for about fifty years: muay thai, fon jerng, the spear dance, the lamp dance, the pu cha drum, the old sabatchai, the mong soeng drum, the pu che drum.
The Thai article's last clause is the one worth keeping: he did it without ever taking a fee.
Inference — a transmission like that is the reason there is anything left to write about. Chaiya survived because a governor's son had a printing press. Lanna survived because two men in Chiang Mai taught for free until they died.
