Thailand ushered in a new age of train travel as Southeast Asia’s biggest railway station officially began operations. The government says the huge, modern development on the edge of central Bangkok will bolster the country’s position as a regional hub and boost its economy.

But to most people it’s more likely to be known simply as Bang Sue Grand Station, after the part of Bangkok where it’s located.

Bangkok “tuk tuk” taxi driver Samran Thammasa, 39, had never heard of K-pop star Jessica Jung before the coronavirus pandemic, but now the singer’s Thai fans are helping him survive the loss of tourist customers. His bright green three-wheeled motorcycle rickshaw has been mostly vacant for more than a year. In the past few months, though, he’s earned about 600 baht ($19) a month to feature K-pop ads on his vehicle. “The extra income may not be a lot for most people but it is for us,” he said, glancing at a shimmering vinyl banner of Jung.
