Posted on 22 July 2009
In 1868, H.M. King Rama IV invited Sir Harry Ord, the Governor of the British Straits Settlements, as well as a party of French astronomers, and scientists, to observe a total solar eclipse, which he predicted would take place on 18th August at 12:13 p.m. He also calculated the precise location in Thailand where it would be best to observe. The party traveled to Wa Ko, a small village in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, about 300 kms south of Bangkok, for the event, where the King's calculations proved to be correct
