what an interesting man you are and what a great website you have. I am impressed and ashamed that, though we sporadically meet, I have never even enquired about all your achievements, in the past and present!

I'm a Appraiser and I loved your Article very much. I'm appraising a Bottle collection and have a old 2 mold aquamarine bottle from your Granddads company right in front of me. It is still one of the old square ones, that are very rare by now. Thank you for providing a bit of inside into history, sincerly Lynda

Pitiful photos of Pata "zoo" in Bangkok!Now (2008) this "zoo" is still existing due to bad Thai laws and regulations. Interested people can visit my public album in Flickr to be updated: open the site of Flickr, search people: "mistifarang" and open "flora and fauna" I recommend NOT to visit this "zoo" to avoid a depression!Your site is by the way very recommendable!

Great site! Do you know the cost of a stamp from Thailand to Europe? They charged me one time 9 Baht and the other time 31 Baht! Thanks
Thank you for your kind response. Why would you use a book shown to be false, written by a woman who lied about her personal information and what she had seen? You claimed that picture was PROOF of the gift-to-the-king story and yet it was a picture Leonowens stole from another book. Your site claims to be about the 'real' Anna Leonowens. If that is true, you need to do much better research. The thaistudents site isn't the only one and the biography of Louis Leonowens contains a great deal of fact, as opposed to Anna's soap-opera-on-paper. I was terribly disappointed to find that this site wasn't about the REAL Leonowens, at all. It was just another go-for-the-gossip Inet movie mag.

Sadly, this website is a conglomeration of the falsities and fantasies Leonowens made up to sell her books. One glaring fault is the picture you show of the 'gift' for the king. It is actually a photo of the topknot-cutting ceremony of Prince Chulalongkorn, marking the end of his young childhood. Not only that, the picture wasn't Leonowens' to begin with. It first appeared in a travel book about several Asian countries, published before "Governess" and giving the correct attribution. Visit thaistudents dot com for the real facts and, please, stop spreading these untrue fantasies of a repressed Victorian to yet another generation.

Thanks for your comments. I have used the book by Anna Leonowens in the form it is being sold nowadays, and assume that the informations is correct, at least from the point of view of Anna Leonowens. I know the site you are referring to and I know that they have a different opinion. As said, I used the book as published. Webmaster.

Thank you for the photos. I have been told by my grandparents that our family also came from this area. They emigrated to New Ulm, MN eventually in the 1890s.

I love Gibbons very much so when i came to thailand i was delighted to see about 5 gibbons on the floating village,however after having my picture taken with one i soon started to feel sad and worried for the gibbon they did look very clean and well loved but its so sad they are not out in the wild where they belong
dear webmaster, I like your webpage at hasekemp. one particular one i am interested in is the trip to river kwai. u see, i (& party of 7) shall arrive in bkk on a saturday in august and leaving on wednesday (5 days only). but i notice that the trip to river kwai usually schedule for saturdays & sundays. i wonder if i can book in advance for the tickets - with whom to book and how payment be made. also, please advise me where i can find a van with driver. I heard from a few sources that i can charter it for less than 2000 baht per day. is it true? one last enquiry, we are interested to go to ayuttaya, by bus and come back by boat. do you have the contact no. of the company offering this tour. best regards

You can't book the State Railway trips otherwise than at Hua Lampong Railway Station (end of the hall, at the right). You can also charter a van or taxi for a day. Just stop a taxi and ask him how much he charges for a day trip tp River Kwai (or whatever). If he is too expensive, or if he doesn't want to be hired all day, stop another one. For a van contact your hotel desk. It may be more expensive.

Heel even op de site geweest, kom zeker nog eens terug. Ik was aan het neuzen naar het Gibbon Project toen ik een vriendin aanraadde om daar langs te gaan. In 1998 was ik 3 maanden vrijwilliger bij het project en sindsdien Thailand-addict! Leuk dat jullie zo'n uitgebreide informatie over het project geven.
