Siam 1939

Evelyn Reinhardt took this footage on her solo round-the-world trip in 1939. A history teacher at Southwest and, later, Roosevelt High School in St. Louis, Missouri (USA), Ms. Reinhardt complemented her history lessons with stories and films (such as this) from her exotic travels to both Asia and Europe.

This particular trip satisfied Ms. Reinhardt's goal of traveling around the world before her 40th birthday. Indeed, she departed San Francisco, California on May 15, 1939 aboard the S.S. President Taft, and returned to New York, New York, aboard the S.S. Nieuw Amsterdam on September 4, 1939, twenty three days before she turned 40.

Filmed in black and white 16mm film. No audio. Regrettably, the film deteriorated significantly before it was digitized.

The Grand Palace (Phra Borom Maha Ratcha Wang) complex, previously the official residence of the Kings of Thailand;
Wat Pho (The Temple of the Reclining Buddha)
Wat Benchamabophit (The Marble Temple)
Wat Arun (Temple of the Dawn)
