Siam and Its People in an American Perspective
A 19th century venturer’s portrait of Siam, its size, geography, and wildlife. The piece notes elephants as essential for travel and war before firearms, praises the sacred white elephant, and describes Siamese society, religion, and daily life. It highlights a dual kingship, early Thai astronomers, and friendly ties with American missionaries.
Siamese Kings and Prostration Customs Reforms
The text notes a shift from rigid royal protocol in Siam where nobles and their retainers could not stand before the King. The first King ended prostration, adopting European dress and religious liberty in 1878, allowing Christians to work on Sunday and to freely practice their faith. The second King, son of the former, is often referred to as George Washington, with governance still largely controlled by the first King and his brothers in key departments.
