I had heard about this plane graveyard through some people that have blogged about this place on various abandoned websites on the internet as a place of interest in Bangkok and a must see if you into to seeing abandon stuff , this plane graveyard was on that list and i also remember @hangin doing a blog on this not so long ago , so this gave me more motivation to go find this place as i was going to be in Bangkok this month it was a perfect opportunity to get myself out there. I noticed looking at some of the websites and @hangin photos of these planes they had graffiti on them so it would be perfect for this weeks theme but not only for that reason i was also very interested in seeing this plane graveyard myself.
It was not a easy place to find but it was mostly because direction in Bangkok are so confusing , when a Thai person tells you to go left he really means right but anyway with a bit of persistence after a short train ride to the city a short walk to the Bangkok canal i then jumped a canal boat rode it to the last stop of the Bangkok canal and then a short motor bike ride from the canal and i was there all within a hour.
On my entrance into this plane graveyard i meant this very interesting guy i was talking to him and i asked him how these planes came to be here , he said a while back a very rich Thai man had them bought out here with the intention of turning them into restaurants and cocktail bars how interesting i thought but things didn't turn that way for him and it was interesting to see a couple of the DC10's bodies had been cut up and used as living quarters like a hanger quite roomy at that very ingenious idea , at least they became useful for something.
I am really stoked that i found the place and got to see these huge birds it is something you don't see everyday in Bangkok or rarely anywhere else for that matter.
