2long Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I'm going to say Khao Sarn Road, which I know is wrong, but it's an attempt to keep this thread going as I like the idea. Good luck, sorensen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 You have most likely been there before, but where is it? Austin 1100's, VW Beatles, Ford Consuls - No aircon - all with their windows wound down. Don't know Bkk well enough to say where it is exactly though it looks vaguely familiar ! Good photo!

thedivezone Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Just guessing by the the size of the roundabout (bigger than Victory Monument) i'd say it's the Democracy Monument Circle ! Do i win a prize ? Edit : Great shot ! Edited October 29, 2009 by thedivezone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecatman Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I'm going to guess it's where Rama 1 and Phaya Thai Road now cross. Where MBK, and Siam/National Stadium BTS stations now are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, so we take it up another notch. I want to know what is on this location today. Knock yourself out guessing.......I don't have the correct answer.
