BANGKOK

1089.

Bangkok itself is improving greatly; new roads have been opened and shops and houses are being built. Gambling has been abolished and a new system of assessing land has been instituted which provides a substitute for the revenue hitherto derived from the gambling farms. The opium and spirits monopolies are no longer farmed out, but are under Government administration.
