  • A British couple visits Thailand from Malaysia in 1951. See Bangkok and its Chao Phraya river and Golden Dawn stupa.
    A viewer observed: "To my guessing, the train was south bound to Malaya (now call Malaysia). Highly possible that, travelers must overnight at Pun Pin district, Surat Tha Nee Province (where the Samui island located) in order to cross the Tha Pee river and re-board another train at the other bank for go further south. As people, including monk in then movie walked carefully, while passengers' baggage were carried by some locals who provide the service to ease of boarding sampan and long-tail boats. The bridge was destroyed during WW II by ally air raids. (WWII end in 1945, the film shot in 1951, Thailand at that time still need lot of resources to heal the damages caused by the war.)"

    I am so envious! that you experienced Thailand before cellphones, before even TVs became commonplace. The khlongs were still clean, and the Thai smile was still luminous and innocent. Thank you for this beautiful and precious film.

    2:34 "รถสำหรับนอน" = sleeping car. i visited thailand for 31 years ago, i got so frustrated because i couldn't read the thai alphabet that i made up my mind: i must at least be able to read it. back home , i bought a linguaphone thai-english course (there was no internet then:-)...after one year or so, i was able to read &write in thai. no, i'm not fluent, but i can order my breakfast in thai so to speak.

    • @thaifriend778
      @thaifriend778 6 років тому +1

      Thanks, very interest technology for sharpening. i used mostly Kodak Chrom film that hope to keep the color. Look forward to sharpen, brighten my digital movie too. The train left Bung Kok Noi rail station, passengers board the train for south bound, during WWII the Rama VI bridge that located at norther part of Bangkok was damaged by Ally air raids so at that time train could not pass the bridge for south bound travelling (40 years ago, they found an unexposed bomb in the bride vicinity that required a helicopter to pick it up before deposed it off in the mid of Gulf of Thailand). Currently, Aug. 2018, a city further down from the big pagoda city (Na Korn Pa Thom Province) as seen in the movie, they found at least 4 more unexposed bombs laid under the river and still thinking how to depose them. The mountain range just further down from Hua Hin town.

    • @thaifriend778
      @thaifriend778 6 років тому +1

      i slowed down the speed, in my films, into half that can keep the movement look natural. In the past, as you already knew, films and processing were very expensive so every second count. So, for me, each shoot last 4 or 5 seconds only. Cut the speed into half that extended many unexpected shoots to viewers to enjoy. Thanks.

    As ăn hístorian and scholar of Thai/Siamese history, I am disappointed that the uploader here has downloaded other Thai language vids from youtube, and then uploaded them again with his own made up captions.
    Vids uploaded as Bangkok 60s, 70s, Bangkok 80s etc...etc.... are instead of Suphanburi/Kanchanburi/
    Ratchaburi provinces. Audio heard of vendors etc is almost
    100% Isarn/Lao dialect in every video clip.
    Uploading archives and them retitling them is pretty pathetic
