Bangkok's greatest sight is the Wat Chang, a temple of beauty The most wonderful group of huild- in Siam; golden palaces, pago- temples and shrines, are shown within the palace grounds.” In photographing the King and Queen of Siam, the royal lady, failing to retain her dignity of expression, looked at the king for example, but as-he, too, aloofty royal, she gave up, and gig- gled like a child. The result was a pleasant revelation that human na- ture is at home in Siam, as here. The speaker was showered with royal courtesies including a game of golf when the Xking was pushed around the links in a chariot whil his guests walked.
