Thailand (1953)

[@avcomth]

My grandmother was born in 1923 in Thonburi province, she withnessed the construction of King Bhudayodfah bridge, World War II and Japanese occupation. In 1953, the year that this documentary was made, she was working at Kasikorn Bank, Sua Pha headoffice, she was the phone operator for Mr. Bancha Lumsum's office. From her dedication and hard work at Kaskikorn Bank, she was able to send my father and his siblings to the United States for higher education---a rare thing for upper middle class Thais at that time. She had also acquired many plots of land from the bank at cheap prices and pass them on to us. She vividly mentioned the years under Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat administration which saw fierce implementation of martial laws. My grandmother is currently 98 years old, and have lived through 5 reigns of Kings. Although she's on a wheelchair now, I still like to visit her frequently and listen to all the old stories she have to tell.

Hey! Im a Thai myself, and my grandma was born in 1931 right before the revolution in 1932. She was a goldsmith and a factory lady for a while, but later started a company with my grandad to build gasification and drier machines for rice mills. Do you use discord? Or LINE? Lets keep in touch! I think we share similar interests and it would be interesting to meet you. I live in Nonthaburi.

"strange", "exotic", "mysterious", "strategic"; these words do not describe Thailand itself but rather the American perception of the place.

[@therock8224]

Indeed. However, back in 1953, these terms could have been used to describe Thailand as the differences between America and Thailand were enormous back then. Now, these terms aren't so relevant anymore.

Bear in your mind young people. Any kind of camera either film or still were not easily acquired by ordinary people as in nowaday Thailand. We're poor undeveloped country. The most important thing is this film was professionally done not by amateur, therefore it's made for commercial purpose, may be by a government agency of either American or Thai to promote the country to the western.
