EDITORS COMMENTS
1. "A Royal Ride on the Thames: Queen Sirikit's Two-Day State Visit to London in 1960 This photograph captures a memorable moment during the historic two-day state visit of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) and Queen Sirikit of Thailand to the United Kingdom in 1960. The image shows Queen Sirikit, dressed elegantly in traditional Thai attire, taking a tour of London on a double-decker bus. As the first Thai monarch to visit the UK, Queen Sirikit's visit was met with great excitement and anticipation. During her stay, she was welcomed with grand ceremonies, official receptions, and cultural exchanges. This bus tour was one of the many engagements that showcased the warmth and friendship between the two nations. The photograph captures the Queen in a relaxed and approachable setting, as she receives her ticket from a conductress on the upper deck of the London bus. The double-decker bus, a quintessential symbol of British transport, adds to the authenticity of the scene. Queen Sirikit's radiant smile and the friendly demeanor of the conductress convey the warmth and hospitality extended to the Thai royals during their visit. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the 1960s, a time when diplomacy and cultural exchange played a significant role in shaping international relations. The image also serves as a testament to the enduring bond between Thailand and the United Kingdom, which continues to flourish to this day.
