bkkjames Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 This photo is of a place where many people now meet to head south or north from Bangkok...but where? Hua Lampong? Correct... This is a photo of the old Bangkok Station behind RSR HQ Office - a few years before the commercement of the constrction of the Bangtkok station Hua Lamphongse has been started in June 1910. This photo has been published in the The Twentieth Century Impression of Siam (published in 1908 and repritned by White Lotus in 1994). The locomotive shown here is probably Dubb Locomotives - used to run the trains from BKK to Ayuthia (now Ayutthaya since 1917). It has been decommissioned by 1 April 1930 after finishign the unified gauge. FYI, some cool photos on this page... http://www.angkor.com/2bangkok/2bangkok/fo...ead.php?p=26248 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we wait for monkfish's Pattaya pictures, lets have a look at this little collection. What year are we in, mid 1960 or so? Nice music by the way.

ScubaBuddha Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Popular area in Bangkok now but where is it?.... Think that one was done already? 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. BINGO, we got a winner.
