Busy Bangkok Street, 1973
Taken by a relative visiting Bangkok in late 1973, through the front window of a taxi. Cars, vans, trucks and motorcycles are visible on the road.
The buildings lining the street seem to be disappearing under a range of advertising signs, the vast majority apparently of neon. Rolex and Seiko adverts are the only ones that I recognise.
I have no idea where this might have been in the city, so the map location is entirely arbitrary. Any help on refining the location would be appreciated. - As you will see below, two comments have named this as Yaowarat Road in Bangkok's Chinatown.
Scanned from a slide.
