Bangkok's Building Boom and Rail Links Drive Growth
A Bangkok resurgence is described with 1,600 permanent buildings rising in a year, brick and iron replacing bamboo. Fires spur street widening and sewer work, while canals shift traffic from water to streets. Rail mileage across Asia totals 30,000 miles with British India leading. Siam builds mills, bridges, and a central electric plant as it modernizes.
