Asia: Mercedes Benz O405N in Bangkok, Thailand

Enjoy your ride onboard a Mercedes transit bus in Bangkok, Thailand. It is certainly an eye-opener for most of us living in the western world! The operation of public transit in cities in Indochina / Southeastern Asia is different in many ways compared to our systems. If anyone happens to know the exact model of this Mercedes transit bus, please kindly enlighten me with your knowledge!

Well, you beat me to it!!! I was caught up between the O405, O325,... and now I know that I was close,... Aw well, it was fun researching to find out exactly what type of bus it is!
