Stunning 125-Year-Old Photos Show Thailand Before The Tourism Boom

Thailand Temples

Now being the go-to sites for people visiting Thailand, these rare photographs were taken with little to no people around them. These Buddhist temples were visited frequently for worship and also for education. During the 19th century, the primary education for people came from monks in the temples. A few years after these photographs, the Compulsory Elementary Education Act was proclaimed and a more typically modern school system was introduced.
