Is it the area for the (numerous) wives' families where no male was allowed - beside a Belgian doctor?

You might keep in mind that this is an historic photo thread, not one of [personal] remembrance, Pat...

You might keep in mind that it's just as cool seeing pictures from 20 years ago about places we know as well as yours, Jeff.

I'm going to do a Ramkhamhaeng photo shoot during the October break. The number of buildings torn down is amazing and it will be cool to see how it all looks in ten years.

**DJ Pat** · 09-09-2018, 05:40 AM

I'm still due a Ram 24 pic thread.

Ok so all rail themed pics will continue in the BTS/MRT thread
