Siam: Kenneth on When He Fell Asleep on His Hostess's Shoulder
Kenneth took Margaret to Bangkok for the birth of their third child, Carol. The busy pace of life in the capital city quickly wore him down. One night there was a dinner party with the Horsts, the Proctors, and the Seigles. Kenneth was sitting next to Jeanette Seigle, who was on his right. Kenneth ate the soup that was brought to him, and the next thing he knew, he was waking up the next morning, in bed. He was told that he had been unconscious. Jeanette said she had been sitting there when suddenly she found Kenneth's head on her shoulder

Siam: Kenneth on Traveling Around His Parish
Kenneth's parish extended from the Malay border all the way up to Chumphon, a couple hundred miles. The peninsula was about ninety miles wide. And he covered every part of it. "I went by every means of transportation that's ever been invented. I walked, I rode bicycles, I went in bullock carts, I went by elephant, I went by train, I went by canoe, I went by small craft, I went by motorboat, I just simply went every place.

Siam: Kenneth on Lord Lieutenant Who Helped Circulate KL's Tracts
The Lord Lieutenant, the province governor, was named Phya Si Thammarat. "Lord Lieutenant" was a very high rank. He was over three provinces, with three governors under him, and he controlled the country from the Songkhla area north all the way to Chumphon, in the Kra Isthmus area. Kenneth had called on the Lord Lieutenant when he came into their area, and the Lord Lieutenant said that he had used Kenneth and what he was doing in a speech that he had made to the monks. He asked Kenneth what he would want to do, and Kenneth says he hoped to put his portions of the Bible in every home. The governor said that if Kenneth would print the many tens of thousands of booklets it would take to get them into every home, he would make sure that his administration distributed them for Kenneth. This is exactly what happened.

Siam: Kenneth on When He and Margaret on Bicycles Encountered an Elephant
Kenneth remembers he and Margaret riding bikes hom from a church service. Margaret was ahead, the two of them pedaling along, and as she looked ahead, she suddenly said, "Look at that funny star that's jiggling around up there!" Kenneth suddenly realized it was the coconut lamp on the head of an elephant, with the mahout sitting behind the lamp, coming down the road. Kenneth yelled, "Margaret! Jump! Jump!" She just turned her bike right straight off the road into the bushes. And she just missed the front end of a big elephant who was padding right down the middle of the road. She would have run her bicycle straight into its legs.

Siam: Kenneth on a Thai Gangster He Knew
On the railroad, on the east coast of the Thai peninsula, there was a town, Chumphon, where Kenneth arrived with Ngiap Seng on one of his evangelistic tours. They got off the train, and there was a very handsome Chinese man who persuaded them to stay at his big and comfortable home. After several days of preaching in the town Kenneth still had no idea what his host did in life. Everyone he had talked to remained vague, but Kenneth eventually learned on the market place that the man was the big gangster. Kenneth confronted him with his discovery and asked the man why he had discredited him and his message. The host replied that he welcomed Kenneth out of admiration for the Americans because he had learned to be a gangster by watching American gangster movies and applying their techniques.

Siam: Kenneth on When He Found the "Men's Room"
Kenneth and Margaret attended a wedding dinner that was scheduled for 7:00. Naturally they arrived there early, but everything was very quiet. They found a few people and sat there eating watermelon and chatting, just to kill time. At some point Kenneth needed to use the bathroom, so he went around but could not find anyone. He spoke little Thai at that time but managed to ask a waiter where the men's room was. He led Kenneth out and took him up another floor or two into a room where he found a covey of Chinese beauties, with lipstick, rouge, slit skirts, all looking expectantly at their new customer. That was the "men's room." Kenneth fled and went right straight down to the street, stood in a corner of the hotel, and relieved himself like a Chinese. Finally the dinner was served at about 10:30.

Siam: Kenneth on Trains, Time, and the Thai
Kenneth speaks of all the traveling he did. His parish extended from the Malay border up to Chumphon, and he really toured his parish. That meant he traveled by train, by dugout canoe, by elephant, by bullock cart, by foot, and by any other way he could get around. He remembers the experience of some villagers who wanted to take the train but had no sense of time. After they missed the train twice they decided to spend the night at the train station. That was their first experience with the modern sense of time. Right about then, the Swiss were dumping excess watches at a very reasonable price, and they discovered that the bigger the face, and the cheaper the price, the easier it was to sell. These Thai, with their skinny wrists, wanted great big watches. And then the village people began to get on to this modern sense of time

Kenneth was very much interested in young people. He mentions his work with the youth at the Columbus, New Jersey, church. In Bangkok, this carried over. He organized many young people and played several sports with them before he began his bicyle gang. In no time at all, he built up a gang of thirty or forty fellows, all with bicycles. They would all wear white duck pants and go through the jungle, on the narrow jungle paths, and cover an incredible number of miles in a day. In this way Kenneth got to know many of these young men, heard many of their conversations and learned about their families. He tells of the "kidnapping" of girls and the story of one young man on his sports club who evetually won the championship games for Thailand and nearly beat the Japanese champion

They were leaping and cavorting right there alongside him. Kenneth began to whoop back at them, and they went along for a couple hundred yards or so, whooping at each other. They were swinging alongside the narrow path. They all wanted to see this funny fellow.

One day Kenneth and his evangelist couldn't find a place to sleep for the night, so they decided to spend the night in their dugout canoe. Kenneth went to sleep and began to have a nightmare of sorts, a feeling that all was not well, and that somehow the boat was tipping over. Suddenly, he realized that it was tipping over. He looked and saw the front legs of a crocodile that was pulling at the boat and preparing to make a grab at him. As the croc pulled down on the boat on one side, Kenneth flipped out the other side. "I really levitated." He or a part of him would have become a meal for a crocodile.

As he was holding his cup in his hand, "all of a sudden a great big trunk came sliding in over my shoulder and sucked up my cookies. They all just went right off my plate." Kenneth looked up, and the elephant was looking at him benignly. The elephant had lifted the entire roof of the building up onto his shoulders. Kenneth had sensed the roof going up, and noticed dust coming down into his cocoa, but before he could make sense of that, this sinuous trunk had slid over his shoulder and sucked up his cookies.

When he was well into them, it dawned on him that the fields were filled with mud wallow holes with buffalo in them, and they had begun to go after him because he smelled like a foreigner. To save his life, Ken went right down into the nearest mud hole and stayed there until they all went back to where they were. He then slowly got himself out and walked to the beach where he plunged into the water

Siam: Kenneth on the First Time He Used a Bathing Cloth
Kenneth tells of the first time he ever used a bathing cloth. It was on one of his earliest tours, in 1928, and Kenneth wanted to take an evening bath—rather than just throw water over himself at the Chinese hotel. So Kenneth set out with his bathing cloth clutched around him and with a dipper in hand. He had never done this before. Eventually, he learned to put the bathing cloth on, but he inadvertently stepped on his soap and lost his balance and his bathing cloth. Quite a number of the villagers were laughing. Kenneth managed to recover the cloth and tried to put it back on, but in his confusion, he couldn't tie the cloth back on, and finally, he just fled down the road toward the hotel "flying this cloth over my head."

Kenneth tells of how an elephant was dousing him and Ngiap Seng and filling their car with water when they were on an evangelistic tour. The two men were driving along the road when they saw an elephant coming the opposite direction, with a mahout on its back. The elephant had to get off the road so the car could pass, but the animal apparently didn't like being forced out of the road by his mahout to clear the way for the car. The animal slid down the embankment into a paddy field. From there he filled his trunk with water and mud and began to douse Kenneth and his friend (the car engine had died right there and so they got stuck). The elephant literally filled the car with water and mud and the two men were completely soaked. They managed to start the car and drove to the village nearby where they were able to clean themselves up.

Kenneth could visit people in the country about once a year, and the postal system was reliable. He decided to start "epistolary evangelism" and wrote letters to the people he visited and other interested persons. This allowed him to keep in touch with them. Margaret comments that Kenneth was following the apostle Paul's pattern. Years later the Landons realized that these letters were very treasured. Each letter was an event, and the recipients would read them over and over. Many people lived in isolated areas and had no communication with the rest of the world.

Siam: Kenneth on Modernism
Kenneth wrote about troubles on the mission field, talking about modernism as opposed to fundamentalism. Most of the missionaries lived in large cities where they could have a good social life with the slightest amount of business effort. The Landons were left alone in etheir evangelistic endeavor. They began to wonder if they would come back or not if they had their private independent support.

Siam: Kenneth Met Face to Face With a Black Panther
The hospital was built on low pillars, and Kenneth needed to get the cartwheels that were under it. He went under it at night with his flashlight, and suddenly came face to face with a black panther. He thought he was dead, but eventually realized the animal was encased in a sort of trap. Its head was out but it could not move. Kenneth got the cartwheels and crouched out.
