Trams in Lopburi

Further plans to develop tramway systems in other major cities such as Chiang Mai, Nakhon Ratchasima, and Songkhla were also studied, but none were ever constructed.

[1] The system was inaugurated by Phibunsongkhram on 31 January 1955, and consisted of a single line running from San Phra Kan to Erawan Intersection, near the present-day King Narai Hospital.

[2] By 1960, increased bus services in the area, also serving Tha Pho Market and overlapping the tram route meant passenger volumes started to decrease.

This, coupled with the increase in private car ownership in Lopburi meant using trams were slower than going by road, in some cases obstructing traffic as well.

The route then turned northward near Prang Khaek onto Sura Songkhram Road and terminated at Tha Pho Market near the Lopburi City Pillar Shrine.
