PUBLIC TRANSPORT in SHOTS * Thailand - The Buses of Saphan Taksin
Saphan Taksin,Thailand -Thai Mass Transport Systems, by thaitransit -January 27, 2009: -- The Saphan Taksin area is located next to the Chao Phraya River in inner Bangkok. The area is named after the modern road bridge that links the Sathorn and Khlong San areas of Bangkok. Saphan Taksin is the current terminus for the BTS elevated metro and the most important boat pier on the Chao Phraya express boat service... The day I photographed the area the traffic on Charoen Krung road was rather light and with a reasonable flow which was good for a change in this area.
