Bangkok airplane graveyard, Aircraft boneyard in Ramkhamhaeng district, Thailand.
The site contains several abandoned aircraft, including a Boeing 747 and two MD-82 planes spread across an open field near residential buildings.
The graveyard emerged in January 2010 with two Boeing 747 nose sections, later expanding with additional aircraft from Orient Thai Airlines in 2014.
Multiple families have transformed sections of the abandoned planes into residential spaces, adding personal items and creating a micro-community within the aircraft.
Visitors can reach the location by taking a canal taxi along Klong Saen Saep to Wat Sriboonruang, with entrance fees ranging between 100 and 800 baht.
The residents generate income through a combination of recycling materials found at the site and collecting admission fees from tourists exploring the aircraft.

Around the world, thousands of airplanes, ships, and vehicles reach the end of their service life and are sent to storage or dismantling sites. These locations mark the final destinations of transportation machines: some wait in the Arizona desert where over 4,000 military aircraft are preserved thanks to the dry climate, others are anchored in Suisun Bay in California as strategic reserves, while still others are dismantled at industrial sites in Chittagong, Bangladesh, where workers recover metal from large commercial ships. Some of these sites have taken unusual forms: in Bangkok, former passenger planes have been converted into homes where residents live; in Alliance, Nebraska, 39 gray cars replicate the exact arrangement of Stonehenge. From Roswell to rusted wrecks in Staten Island and abandoned radioactive vehicles near Chernobyl, these locations tell the comprehensive story of machines that have transported generations of travelers and goods.
