A Piece of Thailand in Northern Sweden - TNY_20220814_131714947.PS

            All the way back in 1897, the then king of Thailand, King Chulalongkorn, visited Sweden in an attempt to gather knowledge to help modernize his country.

The Kind of Sweden (and also Norway), Oscar II, brought his guest to the northeastern coast of Sweden to show him the logging and sawmill industry which brought them to among other plcaes, the Ragunda valley and the village of Utanede.

About fifty years later, the road at Utanede was refurbished and someone remembered the story of the Siam king who had visited and the road was renamed the King Chulalongkorn road.

Another half a century later, in 1992, a Thai dance troop visited Raguda and heard of the road named after their king. This lead to talk of some sort of memorial pavillion and in 1997, the construction begun.

I visited this back in 2004 and again now in the summer of 2022.

This is another one of those photospheres which the Google Camera app can produce and provides a pretty nice sense of what the pavillion and park look like, wouldn't you say?
