Funny even in the old days royalty spent a lot of time in direct sun light, resulting in dark complexion.
Thanks

Lopburi was one of but a handful of hubs that continued on with public trams well into the modern era - lasting a couple of years past most other systems due date.
I believe it was 1969 [??] when Lopburi proper folded shop.
Probably wasn't a profitable market any longer, as more of the population turned to personal forms of transport and of course the bus/coach were forced upon to be more fashionable.
Historically, was the case most everywhere in the world where efficient and clean electric public city trolly/trams were the norm into the 1960s.
Systematically, governments, in cohesion with the petroleum industries, put an end to the old order of city life.
New York, Edinburgh, Hamburg, Melbourne, Toronto, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Osaka, Calcutta, Bangkok, and every other hub that supported a public transport system, etc all had strong tram systems up til the mid/late 1960s [some sooner, some later]
...forced upon change was not for the better.
Many Light railway/tram system are being introduced in the UK, Manchester, Sheffield ....
