Seeing this magnificent building at nighttime easily made the decision to share these photos.  To get the daylight photos, I rushed over to the station ahead of our morning departure to the BKK (Suvarnabhumi) Airport for our flight to Hong Kong and connection to Newark Airport. Night and Day. View from our hotel’s dining room.  Station Interior Some of the trains. My posing the photos from my hard drive must await restoration of the edit button.  Or some other Forum member who received Randy's message can post them.   Thank you.
