Two Games of Makruk

In recent months, a friend and I have gotten into makruk, the form of chess played in Thailand. It is perhaps closer to chaturanga, the great-grandaddy of all chess, than any other variant still played today. The games you see presented here, originally played on the night of 2012/06/22, are just presented for fun and as a basic demonstration of the moves, not as any sort of exhibition of skill (obviously!). Yes, I know the background music is Burmese, not Thai, but the only traditional Thai music in my collection was either too raucous or too flowery.
