Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource July 4, 1927 Title A name given to the resource Siam: Kenneth on Trains, Time, and the Thai Description An account of the resource 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 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Landon, Kenneth (1903-1993) Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource .mp3 Relation A related resource <a title="http://omeka.wheaton.edu/neatline/show/kenneth-landon-in-siam-thailand#records/329" href="http://omeka.wheaton.edu/neatline/show/kenneth-landon-in-siam-thailand#records/329">http://omeka.wheaton.edu/neatline/show/kenneth-landon-in-siam-thailand#records/329</a> Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context LC59-01 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource This digital object is protected by United States copyright legislation and/or related rights.
