From then onward, King Rama 4 (AD 1851-1868) introduced western hairstyles & costume but not really 'catching on'.

King Rama 5 (AD 1868-1920) introduced uniforms for both military personels and government officers. (a kind of Jongkraben called ¼éÒÁèÇ§ with shirt designed & adapted for siam's weather called RajPattern) King Rama 5 also abolished ÁËÒ´ä·Â Hairstyle, and men had western hairstyle and women also had long hair, either let it down or put up into chignon.

I think that's cover the periods you're interested according to those movies. Sorry I didn't look for photos to accompanied my posts plus there are lots more details in that articles that are really interesting but I haven't got times to translate them all
