: 40 ความทรงจำเดือนตุลาคม (‘14th October: forty years of memories’), a four-part Thai PBS documentary on the 40th anniversary of the 14th October 1973 massacre in Bangkok, was released on DVD in 2014. The series, broadcast in 2013, was the first substantial 14th October documentary since historian Charnvit Kasetsiri’s
14 ตุลา (‘14th Oct.’), which was released on VHS to commemorate the twentieth anniversary in 1993.
Charnvit’s hour-long documentary was later released on VCD under the English title
October 14 Thai Student Uprising 1973, and repackaged with the docudrama
Tongpan (ทองปาน) and the 6th October 1976 massacre documentary พ.ศ.
2519 (‘2519 B.E.’). Episodes relating to 14th October from the บันทึกเมืองไทย (‘save Thailand’) documentary series were also released on VCD in 2001.
Thai PBS also organised an exhibition at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, 40th year of “14 October 1973, Thai Popular Uprising” (รำลึก 40 ปี 14 ตุลา): forty photographs of the protest, taken between 6th and 15th October 1973. The exhibition was open from 1st to 20th October 2013. PBS promoted the documentary series with a book of postcards featuring photographs from the exhibition.
