There is also an exhibition in Bangkok related to this celebration.
Siam City Hotel is hosting the "Siam Days of Glory" exhibition featuring a collection of photographs from the book Siam Days of Glory: 19th Century Photographs of Thailand by Athada Khoman, in the hotel's lobby from Oct 16-31.
I wonder if this book is published in Thai, English, both separately, or both within the same book. I downloaded and magnified the open book in the photo but the print became so blurry that I couldn't tell what language(s) were on the page.
My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?
Thanks Pete, I'll have the wife give them a call tomorrow.

found the book on Asia books web site and it says it is published in English. I also zoomed in on the writing and there are gaps between words which to me means english and not thai. The price with Asia books is 1848 baht but the full price is 2310 baht
If true that's too bad. Imo it should be bilingual to be marketed successfully. I know my wife and family are very keen to obtain books like this about Thai history but if the text is not in Thai (or duplicated in Thai) I'm not sure it would appeal to them.
