An amateur drama shot by King Rama VII has been named to Thailand’s Registry of Films as National Heritage.
“1929’s “Magic Ring”, a home movie the monarch made on a trip to Koh Pha-ngan. The 25-minute short with silent-film intertitles is about a cruel stepfather who abandons his children on the island.
