One of the more extraordinary events of modern history began on 11 May 1811, when conjoined twin brothers Chang and Eng were born near Bangkok. The incredible conjoined phenomenon, where identical twins are joined in utero is very rare but has been known throughout history, with reference made to the condition well over 2000 years ago. But in this case, because of their birth history, Chang and Eng were called “Siamese twins” and the name became synonymous with the conjoined phenomenon
