Thailand: Ox carts lie in front of a traditional thatched wooden house on stilts in rural Phitsanulok, central Thailand, c. 1900.

Phitsanulok is an ancient city in the lower plains of northern Thailand. It was capital of the Ayutthaya kingdom for 25 years from 1463 after a series of Burmese invasions. Although Phitsanulok is not located far to the north, the people of the region were known to the central Siamese as Lao at the turn of the 20th century.
