Pakaty Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 A west coast tram would be nice too. I think most folks would even be happy to pay. I better wake up and stop dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkg Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Why not have a fleet of "petrol trams" that go all around the island? You could call them "busses". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graemeaylward Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 It also appears to be a trackless tram! Fantastic, Thailand has invented the worlds first trackless tram (definition of tram:- a rail vehicle which runs on tracks along public highways) Be careful not to confuse this with a petrol driven bus!
