TRAMWAYS et ELECTRICITE de BANGKOK SOCIETE ANONYME - May 21, 2005
B. Springsted writes: Your page covering
the Bangkok Tramways is of interest to me. I am a collector
of old stocks and bonds. One piece of local interest in my collection
is the following share issue: TRAMWAYS et ELECTRICITE de BANGKOK
SOCIETE ANONYME.
The share certificate was issued in Bruxelles with a capital
stock of 12,000,000 de Francs with details indicating that the
share capital was arranged between 1912 and 1924. The attractive
share issue is green and has a drawing of the route as it passed
behind Wat Prakeo.
The Bangkok Tramways system had many facets but I have not been
able to find much detail on the Belgium financed and construction
system. If any one can advise where details of this system can
be found will be appreciated.
