Unlike nowadays, when they are allowed to cast their vote, hence their elected deputies will do what they (the peasants) want...

King Chulalongkorn inspects the new palace water pumping system, circa 1895

**Klondyke** · 19-07-2019, 08:20 AM

^It seems these are pumps for a warm water system, a wood fueled boiler with chimney on the left.

More likely steam driven.

Steam driven what? And what for steam?
The boiler is obviously for a warm water used for showers (abnaam) in the palace, and perhaps for laundry.

I agree. Steam driven positive displacement reciprocating pumps. Someting similar to here: Steam Driven Pumps You can see the suction line going to the reservoir at the rear of the pumps.

^It seems you are right, sorry for my mistake...

The girl in white standing next to Prince, isn'tshe a falang girl? Perhaps a daughter of a teacher? (Obviously not of Anna Leonowens, she had a boy)

Louis had an elder sister but it seems she spent most of her time in England.

Louis' house in Lampang is open to the public but is in a bad state of disrepair. There are a couple of houses of the same vintage around the corner that have been restored by private owners and they look terrific.
