Siam (Bangkok) system trams

ok...here is something that is very interesting about Bangkok system trams, let me take you back to the year of 1893. Yes 1893, 116 years ago. Have you people ever wonder how Doc Brown and Marty McFly in "Back to the future" movie can travel back to the past (future)? I wish I can set the system on my car and set the date back to the year of 1893!!, classis indeed.

thanks to and the magic of Bing translator
