1868 - Dignitaries who joined King Mongkut to watch a total eclipse of the sun

The King's pavilion for viewing the eclipse was built on low ground in a mosquito-infested spot.
Soon after his return to Bangkok, His Majesty fell seriously ill from malaria caught at the site.
He passed away on the night of 18 October. It was 64th birthday.
