andreandre Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Would be interesting to know what happened to the 2 VW s in that picture. regards Worgeordie For sure..but that pic must be late 40's as i believe VW Kombi wasn't made until '47 or later...great pics tho...bring back the ladies of shape as they were then please...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Right.. it can't be 1941 as those VW Type 2 Transporters were only produced from 1950 onwards. And then presumably it would take some time for them to make it to Thailand and Chiang Mai. I'm familiar with some of the pictures, many are from the 1950s and 1960s. Still, very good shots.

Beetlejuice Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 As for all those then young semi naked girls in the photos. Appears that we have missed the best times to have been in Chiang Mai. They really were the grand old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Yes as some have mentioned it looks like maybe they meant pictures as old as or starting with 1941? The one of Narawat Bridge (16th photo) has a caption that reads 1953 Nawarat Bridge The one with the Chiangmai sign (23rd photo) is captioned 2503 which would be 1960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave2 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 re it can't be 1941 as those VW Type 2 Transporters were only produced from 1950 onwards. is this a type 2 ? i knew there was someting different with my pic of the stupa at wat chedi luang in 05 when i got here there was a row of big half elephant figures all round it ! now theyve gone dave2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aforek Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Yes as some have mentioned it looks like maybe they meant pictures as old as or starting with 1941? Yes, I think ( almost sure ) that the pictures with topless women are taken in 1941 ( as I understand, it was the last year it was permitted ), after there was the "thai dress mandate ", issued 15 january 1941 by Plaek Pibulsongkram here is what is permited and not permited ( 1941 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aforek Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 My Thai partner informs me that according to the style of dress none of those ladies are Chiang Mai locals... Mostly Bali :-( True ! after reading your post, I made some research and found two ( n° 15 ( school girls ) and 25 ) which are from Bali ( N° 15 october 1941 , n°25 I don't know the date but taken by Dutch people ) other pictures, I didn't find anything for those interested ( sorry, it's about Indonesia ) fantastic pictures here when Indonesia was Dutch https://www.google.co.th/search?q=/COLLECTIE_TROPENMUSEUM&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=bXGPVerkBM3guQS5loCIDw&ved=0CDYQ7Ak&biw=1137&bih=634#tbm=isch&q=/COLLECTIE+TROPENMUSEUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see, it looked much more atmospheric and compelling before they slapped on all the concrete and cut the surrounding vegetation. I was horrified to see what they had done to it. Ah well.

cmth Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 OK. I am completely confused now. I have yet to see a Thai woman with breasts that size. (natural anyway) Either these pictures are not correct or something has caused the Thai breast to shrink dramatically over the past 60 years or so.

smotherb Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Would be interesting to know what happened to the 2 VW s in that picture. regards Worgeordie Since they were VW vans, that could not be a 1941 picture--vans didn't surface until after WWII, circa 1949.

northernboy Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The bridge in Pai is part of the old iron Narawat bridge.....Don't know how they got it there..... actually that is a rumour that is disproved I believe its origin is unknown but not that one.
