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.

I was always wondering what this place was when i took skytrain on silom line. It's still there! When the BTS turns by rajadamri to Surasak, you can see this place on your right hand side.

All got a medal though.
Some died and there is a memorial to them in Bangkok !
