This is a video clip posted on YouTube titled “Train Runs Through Bangkok Market”. Well even to me a Thai, this is amazing. I really wonder where exactly in Bangkok this is.
Koh Samui – A Calm Paradise
An island off the east coast of Thailand, Koh Samui is the third largest following Phuket and Koh Chang. People come to Samui quite simply to enjoy the beaches which remain stunning after decades of development, helped by a height restriction on new buildings and other conservation measures.
