I think I remember that restaurant, isn’t it down by the seafront, Naresdamri Road?

Those guys, or similar, used to go around in a pickup making guttering and down piping for houses made from zinc or galvanised plate. It was usually a family affair, with the wife and grandpa joining in as well. I can see the little brazier for heating up the soldering irons. They usually did a whole house in less than a day.

With all the farang ghetto estates going up since 2000, they usually had plenty of work on their hands.

Stainless steel is what these were made of.

Beautiful Harley.

When I was tiny, my dad was into motorcycles and he had a Brough Superior for a while and sold it around 1959 to buy a Silent Vellocette. 

Sitting on the Brough was like sitting on a jack hammer, at least that’s how I remember it, the silent Vello was like sitting on a comfy sofa.  🤗

Yes it would, but back then it was much too big and required a lot of maintenance, so it had to go. He had a growing family and was actually saving bit by bit for a car and the money came in handy.

I often drive past where Lawrence of Arabia was killed and seen his grave, I wonder what he would make of how prices have risen.

Chiang Khan, arguably the prettiest market street in Thailand....should have got some daytime pics really so you can see the wood house lined street better.

where is ths pls

Out in the sticks up past Kanchanaburi and the River Kwai bridge, Probs 2 hours past river Kwai stop on train.

Easiest/quickest way to see it is do tour from Kanchanaburi to Erawan/Hellfire pass/anywhere up there that includes 30 min trip on ‘death rail’. The station they plop you on at has this view.....

Note the railway skirting the edge of the mountain on stilts in the distance on the left.

If you get the chance Hellfire Pass is worth a look
