A film about rituals in Siam, now called Thailand, in the late 1940s.

I first came to Thailand (Siam) in 1952. Little had changed from that scene shown above. Quite a lot has changed now. Thanks DD, for those memories.

They all speak English and their favorite music is American swing, what happened? Fantastic find any more please tell. Rather ignorant commentary but fascinating shots of near car less streets.

Thanks for the extended historic video, DD!! One can find a wealth of videos regarding historic interests out there - quite fascinating.
