On Tuesday, the Ministry of Culture and Thai Film Archive (Public Organisation) registered 25 film items into the National Heritage list for audiovisual conservation and future reference. As with every year since the project started, the entries range from historical footage to classic titles and acclaimed contemporary movies. Another royal highlight is a 69-minute film documenting HM the King and HM the Queen on their first royal visit to the South of Thailand. Because television wasn't available to most people, this film was shown in cinemas to promote royal activities. The 53-minute film was handed out on a CD at the funeral of PM Kriangsak, and today serves as a priceless historical record of a momentous decade.
