After 133 years of service, the Bang Rak Post office in Bangkok sent its last telegram on Wednesday.

Introduced by Samuel Morse in 1835, the telegraph came into Thailand in 1875. However, the service only came within the reach of the ordinary person in 1883.

Its heyday was between the 1980s and early 1990s - before the widespread use of telefaxes and mobile phones.

Telegraphy reached its peak in 1985, with 8.32 million telegrams sent each year. There were 987,984 telegrams sent in March 1995.

The complete article is in Bangkok "The Nation" newspapers.

Only one thing comes to my mind :
