:02:01
Siam had two kings.
:02:09
Rama Thibodi II who
reigned in Ayothaya.
:02:17
And his cousin
King Athitaya who ruled
:02:20
the northern city of Pitsanulok.
:02:26
It was a time of peace.
:02:33
No battles troubled the reign
of either king.
:02:39
Wang Chang, Mount Soi Dao
In 1528, the year of the Rat.
:02:42
In the twelfth month,
King Ayothaya
:02:45
journeyed to the Wang Chang on
Mount Soi Dao.
:02:48
In his entourage was Princess
Suriyothai of the house of Praruang
:02:52
savouring the spectacle of
the elephant round-up.
:02:59
Your Highness!
Don't lean out like that.
:03:03
People might see you.
:03:06
It goes against royal conventions.
:03:08
We're on holiday, Nanny.
:03:11
Can't I even look at the scenery?
:03:14
You're a grown woman now.
:03:18
Try and behave like one
:03:21
- The court rules are quite clear
- Oh, rules, rules, rules.
:03:25
I'm worn out with rules I'm sick to
death of rules.
:03:28
Will I meet Lord Piren?
:03:31
Of course not, Your Highness
:03:33
You're not a child any more.
:03:35
You can't just go out and meet men.
:03:38
It's absolutely forbidden.
:03:40
Even when the man is
my own brother?
:03:43
Even then?
:03:46
Lord Piren isn't really
your brother, Your Highness.
:03:49
Just a relative
:03:51
A distant cousin
:03:54
Oh, I am so, so, so, so bored!!
