At home I have an original map, but not worket out yet. It's not so much work to make one in the style of the other trammaps.

Dear Forum members.
I have made a small Lopburi trammap. Soon I will send.
I invite everybody to give corrections and/or additional information so I can make a complete map in the style of Paknam-, Maeklongmap a.s.o.

Just a remark -

the Thai text mentions "Thepsatri School" near the western circle and "Si Suriyothai School" near the eastern circle, while the English text has the names the other way round.

But it's a bit strange - some Thai characters are missing, and some look rather funny or wrong to me? Where is this from?

I have two old papercopie maps here, copies where I can hardly read the thai characters. Yesterday morning I have made this map (you can see it in the way I wrote the english and Thai lettering, in a hurry.
In the final version I would like to show some more geography/topography on the left border.
Also Wally Higgins gave me information about the tramroute.
Better: a trackmap with stages and sidetracks (how many tracks in the shed?) would be a dream!:)

Did not the tram terminus in Lopburi end near a army camp?
Wally I am sure will know alot more of loops and details of Depot.
What would we do with great tram fans like Wally Higgins.
I am only sorry when I was in the Army in Thailands East I did not pay more attention. Like all young soldiers was more interest in Beer and Girls forgetting the Camera when on leave.

When I read a tram map of Lopburi, I foudn sveral mispellign of Thai word whcih need lots of corrections

1) ร พัน 6 = the 6th Infantry Battalion (Now, the 1st Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment - Royal Guard)

2) Sriavinthorn Circuel -> the correct one is "Sri Sunthorn Circle"

3) บริเวณ รร ทบารราบ => The Infantry School area (AKA Fort Narai Maharaj)
Now, the Infantry school has been moved to Pranburi and renamed as
"Infantry Center"

4) The right circle should be read as "WOngwian Sri Suriyothai" (Sri SUriyothai Circle)

5) Depot is opposite to Sra Kaeo Zoo (AKA Lopburi Zoo)

Downtown Lopburi Map can be seen here for correction:

You know, Wisarut has so much to say on this forum, but so little time to type......
