Indeed, in my youth before WW2 I never dreamt that we could communiate all over the world. I dreamt, though, to have a house once in which I would show movies to audiences. It did materialize, but in a form I didn't foresee !
A very historical journey back then......thanks for the post here in CZcams, it is hard to find a copy this day. Truely Asia...
Thank you for Surat Thani. Your video is very useful many people can recall their old day.
Awesome... That's Prai wharf and railway station and jetty... These are some of the place I used to roam about as young boy in the late 1960s.... Brings back fond memories sir. Thank you for the upload. GBU.
Wow! :) Such great videos you have here!! :) My mother was not even born yet, and not many people in Malaya could afford to buy camcorders (or however they were called at that time), let alone converting them into digital version and uploading them on CZcams! :) Such a rare footage of our country's rural area in the past! :) Thanks a lot! :)
Wah Nasi Pecel juga tradisional di Thai. Mengingatkan saya pada pengasong serupa di kereta api Jawa tahun hingga 80an.
nice.. the old Weld Quay Penang..the old ferry..
My hometown in Butterworth,,i really broke into tears watching this vids!!Especially saw those workers at Pier, they really had hard time those days earn for a living?
that was unbeliveable .... malaysia in 52 was so different now the modern malaysia that i know today ... really a beautiful video ...
I wish you could come once again and see how things have changed tremendously nowadays!! :)) Most of the northern tracks are being double-tracked and electrified :).
That's not Port Swettenham but Butterworth old ferry terminal which near to the old railway station, from there you have to take a ferry to penang island at Malayan Railway Jetty just opposite the Clock tower building (Cable Office).
You have my respect sir. Amazing footage
thx for shering this video sir.i enjoye very much
A very interesting look at the past, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing.
Sorry, but at 83 I'm too old to travel now. I travel behind my computer nowadays!
I think at the end of the clip are scenes on Penang Island
Surat Thani used to be known as Jaya (Or perhaps Cahaya) during the Srivijayan era. There are still many Malays in southern Thailand in the present day. Those above 70 as of the moment can still speak Malay. The young ones in places like Setul (Satun), Terang (Trang), Ligor/Negara Sri Dharmaraja (Nakhon Si Thammarat), and Singgora (Songkhla), unfortunately, have become "Thai Muslims", knowing only Thai.
@TheSkyhouse . I wish you and your family a long and happy life there!
Great. Interesting to see the trains haven't really changed. In Bangkok these carriages are still used. Prices are still low. A 30 min journey in Bangkok from Klong tan to Hualumpong still only costs 6 UK pence.
Train journey in 1952 along Surat Thani and Kobah to Butterworth
The jetty should be Perai instead of Port Swettenham.Butterworth jetty didn't exist yet at that time.Kobah station was demolished long time ago.Thanks for the rare view of Kobah station.
@london56 . Thanks. So what should the title read in one word instead of Kelang ?
I see Gunung Jerai, beyond the vast paddy field in Kedah. No so sure if Kedah at that time known as Syburi.
The train ended at old railway station in Butterworth,,I dont believe Butterworth pier happen to be like this in 1952.Sir you don't feel like coming to Malaysia again for a visit??Once again TQ.

เยี่ยม
Kobah merujuk kepada nama kampung yang letaknya lebih kurang 20 km dari bandar Alor Setar . Ada pekan kecil di sini yang dikenali Pekan Kobah terletak di antara Kota Sarang Semut dan Pendang. Tidak ada apa yang menarik di sini. Dulu ada stesen keretapi di Pekan Kobah ini. Tetapi sekarang dah tak ada
Thank you, but 120 is beyond my expectations. I have been wondering where this train, passing Surat Thani, came from?
From Hua Lamphong Station in Bangkok
wonderful! who's the lady?
wonder who s the owner of the black car with the PENANG plet number P9127...?...now the current number is PLA.....after 60 years.....
.
