==Anna Leonowens könyvben és filmen==
[[Margaret Landon]] ''Anna és a király'' című regénye Anna Leonowens királyi udvarban töltött éveit dolgozza fel kitalált elemekkel, hangsúlyozva a rabszolga felszabadítás témáját, mely párhuzamos volt amerikai olvasóinak szimpátiájával.<ref>Laura Donaldson, "The King and I" in Uncle Tom's Cabin, or on the Border of the Women's Room', ''Cinema Journal'', Vol. 29, No. 3 (Spring, 1990), pp. 53-68.</ref> 1946-ban [[Talbot Jennings]] és [[Sally Benson]] forgatókönyvre adaptálta a történetet ''[[Anna and the King of Siam]]'' [[Irene Dunne]] és [[Rex Harrison]] főszereplésével.

Revived many times on stage (with Brynner starring in a number of revivals), the musical has remained a favourite of the theatre-going public. However the humorous depiction of Mongkut as a [[polka]]-dancing [[Despotism|despot]], as well as the king's and Anna's apparent romantic feeling for each other, is condemned as disrespectful in Bangkok, where the Rodgers and Hammerstein film was banned by the Thai Government. The 1946 film version of ''Anna and the King of Siam'' starring Rex Harrison as Mongkut was allowed to be shown in Thailand, although it was banned in newly independent India as an inaccurate insult by westerners to an Eastern king. (In 1950, the Thai Government did not permit the film to be shown for the second time in Thailand.) The books ''Romance in the Harem'' and ''An English Governess at the Siamese Court'' were not banned in Thailand either. There were even Thai translation of these books by respected Thai writer "Humorist" (Ob Chaivasu).
