| Copping away Sathorn Road 1979  The 300-odd that adorned Sathorn Rd. were removed to make way for the construction of the Sathorn Bridge. 150 were saved to be transplanted at this locale after construction completion. The decision to take the trees was highly debated and controversial within the community in March/April of 1979. During it's day, Sathorn Road was verdant with canopied greenery.

Didn't realise they were involved Google tells me that they got there to help the French as part of their Indo China effort . Got there - trained and then the bloody war ended before they could actually do a lot ! All got a medal though. Some died and there is a memorial to them in Bangkok ! 90th Anniversary of World War I.

The distant {centre} building is the Amari Rinome Hotel leading from Nimmanhaemin Road.
Best known now as the well-regarded "CityLife".
Originally built in 1914 as the residence of Luang Jitlamnongwanich. In 1927 it became the Royal Hotel until 1948, where it was transformed into the property of the Soviet/Russian Embassy {1948-1999}. Abandoned until 2005, where the extensions of Sathorn Square gobbled it up.
