Fascinating! Looks more interesting than now. Wide footpaths, not blocked by motorbikes, stalls. Everyone wearing shorts which are better suited to the tropics.

Is that a tram line running down one street?

I think I recognise a street or two, but can anyone add to this?

Thanks george, great link and love the photo's.

I clicked on the link http://pantip.com/topic/32850740 at the top of the page and found that there's even more photo's with descriptions too.

Lovely jubbly.

I am always a bit reluctant to post my own photos of Thailand in the 60.s so many of them have been used in publications without my permission , even the now official Operation Crown Association and Database is based purely on the illegal use of my own database and photo,s!!

What a terrible way to display the photos. I would have preferred before and after shots. It was difficult to understand the whole shot.

Oh wow, be awesome to travel back in time and see Bangkok/Thailand in those days.

I was just a young American kid in those days, and Bangkok was a lot more fun (socially) than it is now. In those days you could actually make some real Thai "friends", and hold a real "person-to-person", hour-long discussion (in English) with an (ahem) uneducated Thai rice farmer, and, on a multitude of interesting topics. What a difference 50-years has made. Thanks for sharing. I truly appreciate the effort you've made
