ksamuiguy Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Must be a lot of changes over the last 10 years or so! With the advances in technology a overhead photo if the present model and a Satellite overhead image laid , projected on the model should show the changes in the last 10 years. That would be very interesting indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google Earth https://www.google.com/earth/download/gep/agree.html has historical imagery going back to 2001 for parts of Bangkok it can make interesting viewing.
