» One of Bangkok's most outstanding edifices, the abandoned Hopewell mass transit project, stands forlorn as a testament to the lack of continuity in the infrastructure policies of different governments. Known as Bangkok's Stonehenge, the massive concrete pillars are expected to be demolished soon after 20 years of existence to make way for the red line electric railway.
