Prajadhipok Visits Hawaii Sept 17, 1931Description
Commemorative Cover inscribed "Kalakaua Visited Siam 1881 Prajadhipok Visits Hawaii Sept, 17 1931"
King Prajadhipok and Queen Rambhai Barni of Siam visited Honolulu in 1931 for only about 24 hours. That is not enough time to really gain an understanding of a new place, and we don’t know what the king and queen really learned during the course of their short visit.
However, in reading the newspaper accounts about their visit today, it is amazing to see how directly the king and queen were exposed to the realities of Hawaii under American rule.
