Visits to Bangkok
on 2 World Cruises
of the mid-1950s

This 24 slide show is part of a set that came from a passenger on the 1954 and 1955 Great World cruises. Although fully captioned, I've found them either a bit vague, or plain misleading. Further research is needed to fully identify several views. Enjoy the photos in the meantime.
