Hua Lamphong railway station, Bangkok’s main train station
Look at the postcard below of Hua Lamphong railway station, Bangkok’s
main train station, for instance. Probably taken some time in the 1920s
just a few years after Hua Lamphong was first opened (it opened in
1916), it honestly doesn’t look that much different almost 100 years
later. There are just now more people, more cars and fashions have
changed — as you’ll see by the photo below it taken in 2008.
