Chao Phraya River 1950's - Bangkok Thailand - 8mm in HD - Restored Sound

The Chao Phraya River. Another vintage footage find. This was shot in the late 50's by an English tourist traveling alone. I'm not sure where the tour starts but it clearly finishes at Wat Intharawihan - home of the GIANT Buddha. Again the audio is a re-creation based on a modern longboat trip up the Chao Phraya. Rice barges and other working boats can be seen throughout.
I'm still really digging these restorations. I get a bit of nerd-satisfaction in the idea that footage long lost is coming to light.
If you enjoyed this video - we have the same river tour shot in the early 70's available here: • Chao Phraya River Tour...
For a modern look check out the video response from kkfung1 below. Same stretches of river. Thanks kkfung1!
