Wow, those must be some great memories. Here’s a page with some old photos. http://2bangkok.com/2bangkok-tram-index.html

I wonder if you have any pictures of those trams. They were such fun to ride on.

Hey Barent, thanks. I’m working my way through his new book as I type (well, in a few minutes I’ll pick it up again). We’ll probably cover it on an upcoming episode of the podcast.

Hey John, great to hear from you again. Yes please, would love to come out again for some tea. Very fond memories of last time.

I will definitely let you know about the next New Year’s Tea Ceremony which should be in late January or early February. You and Steve make miracles. I can’t believe how you possibly made the photos change from old to new and back!

Hi John! Indeed, it’s a very fond memory and would love to do it again sometime. If you’re having folks over again one day, let me know. 🙂

This one will last a very long time. There’s no end to Bangkok. A beautiful and useful record of the way we were and the way we are changing, ever changing. Well done, Steve. Brilliant.
