About This Item
Bangkok : White Lotus, 2001. Paperback. Good/no dj. 1.0. Ehlers, Otto E.. The book provides an account of the adventurous journey German traveler Otto Ehlers undertook in 1891-1892. This volume chronicles the journey starting from Moulmein on Burma�s Andaman Sea coast and ending in Poofang on the border between the Sipsong Pana, now Yunnan, and French Tonkin, now Vietnam. Ehlers travels an unusual route; with intent to wander away from the itinerary followed by earlier explorers. Traveling without passports or official laissez-passers, but with letters of recommendation from Prince Damrong, Siam�s Minister of the Interior, and the British Consul in Chiang Mai, Ehlers cunningly used the locals� fear of officialdom and his own imagination. His skillful use of both helped him to cross through British and partly Chinese-claimed Shan States from Chiang Rai in Siam to Chiang Tung. When Ehlers and his party were refused entry by Chinese officials coming from Yunnan, he set off at night, headed for the border with France�s Tonkin colony, and escaped through the tea gardens of Ybang in the Sipsong Pana.
