  • Maybe, you have misunderstood about Thai history. We have a western building it's because The Thailand King has sent many princes for studying in Europe for a long time BEFORE colonial time. when they came back they built many palaces which is a western style. As you can see ,some architecture are the combination between Thai and Western. Please keep in your mind that we ARE NEVER BELONG TO ANY WESTERN COUNTRY !!!

    Cheers,

  • I really like your video except that you kinda misunderstood Thai history. I'm sure your intention is good. Those buildings are a mixture between Western and Thai Architecture because they king and the princes went to many Western countries and came to like this style. It wasn't to conform to the Western countries and it has nothing to do with colonization as this happened long before that era. Hence we were also not technically colonized by other nations. Anyways, thanks for the video!

  • You should really correct your naration. i'm sure you're well intended, but western white guilt has crept in and dishonors both the Thai people and western governments. Rama IV and V did a lot of intelligent work with foreign governments to not only keep thailand free and independant, but to modernize it. To belittle any of those parties is ignorant and not everyone will read all the corrections posted here - you will increase misunderstanding as a result

  • Love the video. Thanks for taking me back. I have no video from the palace. I was escorted out by armed guards for having a broadcast quality camera. Really. Kopkhun khap!

  • ยอดเยี่ยมมากครับ

  • I really enjoy your videos because of your narration.

  • Do the research so that you can make a concrete assumption lady.

  • King Rama 5 visit many western countries such as Russia, Uk, Norway, German etc. when he came back he built many palaces in western style.

  • Nice vid, the thias love there king very much

  • I just wanna confirm that tooktu's correction about Thailand's history was right.
