A tale of two kingdoms

History reveals that the Persians had contacts with the Siamese as early as the mid-1600s.

This fascinating subject will be discussed in depth in a Siam Society lecture titled "Iranian Relations with Siam" on March 20, when noted historian Dr Julispong Chularatana will reveal how a young Prince Narai used to visit well-educated Persians in Ayutthaya to learn about Persian politics and culture.

The lecture starts at 7.30pm. Non-members are expected to contribute Bt200. Call (02) 661 6470-7 or visit www.Siam-Society.org.
