While I was creating a google map for the BRT Bus route in Bangkok, I came across an interesting sight between BRT Wat Dokmai and BRT Rama IX Bridge.
This is the satellite image of what looked like a capsized ship close to the Rama IX bridge. I used Google Earth and GPS on my iPhone to help me track down this ship.
This is an older shot from Google Earth showing the ship before it capsized. A security guard allowed me to go and take a closer look at the ship.
This is how it looks today as they have already started to cut it up for scrap metal. The guard told me that it was called the Siritara Ocean Queen and sunk here on 13th October 2006. The reasons are still apparently a mystery.
