Juxtaposing the past and present, Rama IV: The King and His Legacy. In 1861, the Ambassadors of Siam were warmly received by Napoleon III at the Palace of Fontainebleau, marking a significant moment in diplomatic history (Gerome, Jean-Leon, Reception of the Ambassadors of Siam by Napoleon III at the Palace of Fontainebleau on June 27, 1861). Fast forward to modern-day Bangkok, the bustling Rama IV Road is a testament to the economic growth and progress of Thailand, yet the memory of its illustrious monarch, King Mongkut (Rama IV), remains etched in history. The Amazonian guards of the Second King, Pinklao, and the majestic portraits in state costume serve as reminders of his reign and the rich cultural heritage he left behind.
