Two Kings

There's a picture that I've seen three times, in three different restaurants, here in Chiang Mai. After seeing it for the third time, I decided to look into it and find out what the deal is. The picture features a young, good-looking Elvis dressed in an army uniform, entertaining the King and Queen of Thailand. I wondered whether Elvis had somehow been stationed in this part of the world and was perhaps the invited guest of the King of Thailand.

Here's the deal. The picture was actually taken in Hollywood in 1960 on the set of Elvis' movie, G.I. Blues. Unfortunately, I can't find a picture of it online that I can link to, but it's kind of cool seeing them together- The King and The King.
