The Overseas Trading Company is a rather boring name.
They should have called it Not CIA, Honest Injun.

Again,
I do not mind to help retarded members to get a clue:
Look on the arrow at my post directed to the post before I am referring to.
And look what that post is saying and referring to... It's not so difficult to understand, is it? Slowly, slowly, no need to hurry up to show us your slow comprehension.
Anyway, in the New Year you should first think more slowly before shooting when seeing my post (has it come to you in black or red?).

Glad to see you continuing here, Jeff - thanks.
Interesting picture, Jeff.
That looks like a photo of something specific. Not the ugly looking little chap with a sort of uniform in the front - although I wonder what he might have been.
More about the farang in white who is looking towards the camera. He is holding something, documents. Maybe he was the focus of the photograph? He is with a man who looks like a monk, smoking, and two Chinese still sporting queues. One of those Chinese is also holding paperwork, not the typical coolie look. A curious group.
Also most of the foreground characters appear motionless, looking at the camera. Maybe they were asked to stand still.
Most of the men are shirtless. It must have been hot. Only the farang in full whites and a pith helmet. He has no obvious assistants or interpreters, unless it is the monk. I wonder who he was and why he was there.
^ This lot could be retired now, but I'd imagine the vast number are still working the fields every day, hopefully still fit as fiddles.
