Kenneth on His Post-war Work with British-Thai Negotiations

In 1945, Kenneth traveled out to Thailand for the British-Thai negotiations, and one of his first trips out of Bangkok was to Cambodia. Kenneth tells of his travel with his escort guards, how it took several hours to drive through a marching Japanese army until they could turn off on the road to Cambodia, his time in the city of Battambang, which was the home town of one of Thailand's prime ministers, and his visit to Angkor, where he was met by the curator of Angkor, a Frenchman.
