This photo was taken circa 1951, the year Rajwitee
Hospital in the southwest corner of the circle was built (it is still
there today). The photo has been reproduced in many books about Bangkok,
including ones by historian Anake
Nawigamune. |
The photo above was taken in 1946 by Peter Williams Hunt,
a British pilot who took aerial photographs of Bangkok and vicinity
around 1946 for the Allied Forces to determine if Thailand could produce
enough rice for war indemnity. North is in the direction of the upper
