Bangkokians flocked to Hua Lamphong Station on Sunday to take photographs of the historic Pacific steam locomotives No 824 and 850 as they pick up passengers for a special trip to Ayutthaya.

The State Railway of Thailand brought out the steam trains dating back to the World War II-era to mark the 94th birthday of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great.
