    I note many wore their hair short and combed back in times past - not a great look but fashion and what is perceived as beautiful change

    The colorized B&W photo courtesy of ‘Page Siam Colorization by Noomrattana’ shows a part of Princess Siwilailak (page34/830)'s funeral ceremony which was a talk of the town. It was the first time ever that the public could join the royal funeral. It was said to be one of the most joyful times. Everyone, may they be royalty, noble or commoner from everywhere each tried to find an opportunity to come joining this event.

    There was a saying that "Whoever did not come to this event was considered utterly out of date".

    ....and somewhat short lived through the mid and late Chulalongkorn era - was the rage throughout the Queen's court, as they took up the fashion that was already the style among the everyday [female] commons.

    As sharp as i am i have noted on visits to various old sites around Thailand that they invest quite a bit of effort in making big gates and entry battlements but you could basically Fosbury flop over most of the surrounding walls.

    The colorized B&W photo courtesy of ‘Page Siam Colorization by Noomrattana’ shows a grandson (one of so many) of King Rama V who later built Suan Pakkad Palace located on Sri Ayutthaya Road, south of the Victory Monument. It has been now converted into a museum displaying Thai antiques including Ban Chiang pottery which dated over 4,000 years old.

    The name Suan Pakkad translates as "Cabbage Patch". The museum's collection of five traditional pavilions is one of the best examples of traditional domestic architecture in the city. The Lacquer Pavilion is the most striking building, and is over 450 years old.

    The enhanced pale colored photo courtesy of ‘Page Siam Colorization by Noomrattana’ shows murals on the walls at Wat Yannawa, Bangkok. The Wat was said to be built during the Ayutthaya Era or before 18th century.

    The drawings of big krathong were said to be painted in the early Rattanakosin (19th century) which were used in the royal festivals. They are very rare seen in Thailand nowadays. This temple is the only one that has biggest pictures of this kind of krathong.

    The colorized B&W photo courtesy of ‘Page Siam Colorization by Noomrattana’ shows the young princes and a lawn mower which was just introduced in their father (King Rama V [1868-1910])’s reign. The machine was brand new to the eyes of Siam so they had to learn how to operate and more over they had to learn how to take care of. Lacking of knowledge, mostly after being used, they were left there at the sites and not for long, the blades were dull and got rusted caused by humidity and dew.

    My FiL must have attended the same school, he was great at leaving tools around to go rusty. I'm sure he never put anything back just so he could spend an hour or two looking for stuff before he started a job Buddha rest his soul
