Probably many will be interested to see what looked like Bangkok in 1950.
Postwar Thailand, remaining deeply feudal country, got into a zone of U.S. influence and actively develop the business. Earning all they could. First, a series of images taken by photographer Dmitri Kessel U.S. in 1951.
These cute trams are now replaced by high-speed monorails. 15 more after the break...
