Mount Airy and Samut Songkhram, Thailand, become sister cities 2019
Mount Airy
Mount Airy and Samut Songkhram Province, Thailand, formed a sister-city relationship in 2019, an agreement credited to Surry Arts Council director Tanya Jones, a Bunker descendant.
The pact links Mount Airy with a province in Thailand, the modern name of Siam, where Chang and Eng Bunker were born. WUNC reports that Tanya Jones, executive director of the Surry Arts Council and a descendant of the twins, was integral to establishing it. The Council opened a Siamese Twins Museum in Mount Airy in July 2024.
