A tsarevich, Nicholas visited Bangkok in 1891 as part of his
Eastern Tour, celebrating the opening of the eastern branch of the
Trans-Siberian Railroad. Lavishly entertained by the Thai monarch,
the two become close and an enduring friendship ensued. The king's
son, Prince Chakrabongse, was invited to study in St Petersburg at
the Tsar's court, and his 8-year stay was paid for by Nicholas. He
was treated as a member of the family and had a unique insight into
Tsarist Russia. His letters home to his father, the king, are
insightful, full of observations and news about the Russian court.
The king was equally candid in his replies, making for a revealing
read for anyone with an interest in this period of history.
