Surat Thani Postcards

[numpty]

A few years back I was working in Surat and came across a commerative pack of 16 postcards recalling the Japanese Occupation.

The cards are all in Thai and mine is well rusty having left a few years back.

One picture shows the railway bridge at Phun Phim over the Tapi River damaged.

Another shows a traditional Chinese style junk by the pier at Ban Don.

Has anybody seen these and have a better translation than I can offer?

If anyone is interested I can get them scanned...

Good, we are still looking forward to them. As I will be in Surat Thani next month - do you still remember where you bought that set? I will try if I can find my own one as I am very interested in the history of that area.

Yep, Saphan Chulachomklao Bridge across Tapi river ... too bad, it was Bombed and the briudge has become an iron bridge for Ban Thung Pho - Khirirat nikhom line (then called as "Tha Khanon") :(
