    Travelling in the past!

    The following photos were taken by a Brit friend of mine who has lived in Thailand for over 25 years. It was very interesting to have a chance to view these old photos and listen to her memories.


    Can you guess where this beach front property is? Well, neither could I.

    Nowadays, it is called Jomtien.

    This shot shows CM over 20 some years ago. Now where is CMN or FriscoFrankie homes at?




    The way it used to be.

    Remember the famous bridge?


    And here was the main street leading to the famous bridge way back then! Amazing Thailand, huh?

    Like the Thais say. Coming soon!

    I also want to say that these are NOT out of a coffee table book. These photos are actual shots taken by my friend. I did take the liberty to add some brightness to the shots in order to display them on the net, but that was it.

    MtD, let's see what pops has stored in the attic!

    Nice pics HB.

    I always wonder when I see pictures like this from 25 years ago whether we will look back on today's pictures in 25 years time and see the same degree of change.

    Nice pictures Hillbilly. How can I make them bigger ?
    Last year I was in Nakhon Sri Thamarat at my wife's uncle rubber farm.
    Rubber is big business right now, price is way up.
