In addition to the eight (8) categories of conflicting information presented, there are increasing incidents of evidences to show that the birth place of Lord Buddha was in Thailand. Here are some:

Cold weather was impossible for the monks to survive: If Buddhist monks lived in or around Nepal or north India which was located at the foot of the Himalaya where the whether was general cold, how could they survive the cold with only three pieces of robes (Tri Jiwarana) covering their bodies, with shaven head, and no shoes?  In the Lord Buddha's time, the weather must have been even much colder.

No mention about Snows or Ice:  There was no mention about the word "hima" in the sense of snow.  Hima means cold as seen in the word "himawanata" or "himapanata" meaning "having cold whether" (wanata=having).  Hima is understood as "dews" resulted from cold weather.  In the north and the northern parts of Thailand, there were jungles where big balls of dews flowing from the sky to the ground. Therefore, the Himapanata Jungles were found in the Poo Parn (Pan Mountains) of Sakol Nakorn Province, Loey Province, Petchaboon Province, and other norther provinces.

Rushi or hermits covering themselves with  tiger skins were found in Thailand because the weather is warm and makes it possible for the hermits to wear the tiger skins. In India, hermits usually wear white cotton clothes. Rushi were found every where.  In the recorded history of Ayudhaya, King Naresuan's army used to march near the "Temple of Rushi" showing that there are many hermits in Thailand.

The measurement units for distances in the Tipitaka were yotchana, sen, wa, sog, and kueb.  These units have been used in Thailand and Laos for thousands of years.  Are these units used in India?  No. There are not evidences that the Indian people used these terms for measuring the distances between places.

In the Sukkothai and Ayudhaya periods, Thai ancestors made used of these measuring units.  Just to cite a few cases, when King Prasart Thong traveled to the Buddha Foot Print in Saraburi Province, the distance between the Grand Palace to the Summer Palace located at the northeastern part of the Ayudhaya Island via boat was 390 sen (almost 16 kilometers); from the Summer Palace to the Royal Joy Pavilion at the western port of the main land was 660 sen (about 24 kilometers).  From there, the King and his soldiers proceeded a few kilometers to the Copper Stream Pavilion at the foot of the hill on top of which the foot print of the Buddha was located.

At the time of  Revision of the Tipitaka in Bangkok period, in the time of King Rama I, it was clearly stated at the Pre-amble of the Revision that Chompoo Dwip was the Land of Right Conceptions covering five countries, namely Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Burma and Raman.  Presently, it covers Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Burma, and Southern China (See the Map of Chompoo Dwip.

 The Royal History of Ayudhaya published inthe year 133 of Bangkok Period described the Ayudhaya Island surrounded by the sea.  It took King Naresuan five days on boat to reach Kanjanaburi and clearly stated that the present land of Suwannabhumi  is Chompoo
