Makruk (Thai Chess)

The Kings, Knights and Rooks are from a standard chess set; Seirawan Elephants stand as Burmese Elephants, which move as Thai Bishops; Checkers (Draughts) men stand for the Thai pawns; and a fairy piece (a beheaded Bishop with a Pawn's head), or even an Orthodox Chess Pawn, stands for the weaker Thai Queen. Promoted Pawns can be fliped to their other (flat) side, or replaced with Orthodox Chess Pawns if desired.
