Story Behind Anna's Anna’s
arrival in the mysterious land of Siam was at a time when most of
Southeast Asia had become colonised by either England or France.
In the midst of this upheaval in the region, Thailand remained un-colonised
through the great efforts of King Mongkut. As one writer has commented
“ ...He was one of the 19th centuries greatest Asian statesman,
dedicated to serving his people and shielding them from European
colonial rule”. Anna's

The
story of the English Anna Harriette Leonowens, governess to the
children Of King Rama IV of Thailand King Mongkut, is a much documented
and publicized one. It is a familiar story ( often over romanticized
) for stage and film productions such as “ The King and I “. However,
Anna and the King himself are historical characters, largely misunderstood
abroad. Anna Leonowens and her toddler son arrived in Bangkok aboard
the steamer Choa Praya on March 15, 1862. She had been strongly
recommended to the Siamese counsel in Singapore when King Mongkut
expressed his desire for a teacher to educate his many children
in the English tongue.
