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.
wow. good for you. I speak more than casual and tried to learn to read, but gave up. I was planning on retiring to Thailand this year and spending several hours every week with some tutor was my goal to learn more. COVID has stopped me from traveling at the moment
@@gkprivate433 if you speak more than casual, reading thai shouldn't be an issue. let me know if you are interested, i'll give you a few links, and it'll cost you only your time:-)
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 the 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.)
Yours welcome. i have transferred my 8-mm films into digital form. Your films are older than mine but very clean and clear that is very surprise to me. Keep up all your wonderful work. THANKS!
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.
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
Thanks video 🙏🏻

One of my favorite countries. It's impossible avoid falling in love with it.
This is so precious! Thank you for posting this!!
คิดถึงสมัยก่อนเดินทางกันด้วยเรือ ใช้พายกับแจว เด็กรุ่นผมสามขวบก็ว่ายน้ำได้แล้ว ดีใจที่ได้เห็น
This is a treasure, thanks for sharing, Thailand in 1951.
I have many great memories of 1959-72 this area, all lovely, my favorite of 35 countries.

Wonderful videos, Mr. Rogge, thank you. Thais back then were all so much slimmer!
I think of the olden days when the world is a better place to live on than today.
Thank you so much for your sharing.

Wonderful ☺️

Oriental Hotel - yes the best in Thailand!
Magnifique document . Merci pour ce partage .
Thank you, I love film images. What 16mm camera did you use?
เกือบ70ปี ฝรั่งนี่ไปไหนเขาชอบบันทึก
พวกเขาเข้าถึงอุปกรณ์การบันทึกและการคมนาคมมากกว่าพวกเรา ดูสมัยนี้สิพวกเราไปไหนมาไหน กินอะไร ก็ต้องถ่ายรูป ถ่ายคลิป
เวลานั้นยังไม่มีเครื่องถ่ายvdo หรือว่าใช้กล้องถ่ายทำภาพยนตร์?
