About this audio guide
This guide to Princess Mother Memorial Park in Bangkok follows Sangwan, a girl raised in the lanes beside Wat Anongkharam, and the life that took her from a temple school to a nursing course in Boston and into the royal family in 1920. Along the way you meet the sons she raised and the work she took up late in life. Start by the reconstructed wooden house, where the first stretch of the story is set.
