Thailand: A 1900 photograph of a Buddhist monk teaching a child in Nakhon Phanom in Isarn, northeastern Siam. Nakhon Phanom, once the center of the ancient Sri Kotrabun Kingdom, lies adjacent to the Mekong River, 735 kms northeast of Bangkok. The area was long settled by ethnic Lao people and belonged to the Lan Xang Kingdom even after it came under the control of Ayutthaya. At first it was known as 'Si Kotrabun', and during the times of King Rama I as 'Maruka Nakhon'.

Thailand: An 1896 photograph of two classical Siamese dancers in Udon Thani, now located in northeastern Thailand. Siamese dance is an elegant art form refined over centuries and supported by regal patronage. The Thais reputedly first acquired a dance troupe when, in 1431 CE, they conquered the ancient Khmer capital of Angkor and took as part of their booty an entire corps de ballet - dancers whose performances had once been seen as a symbolic link between nature, earth and the realm of the gods. The two major forms of Thai classical dance drama are 'khon' and 'lakon nai'.
