Name that country

I was going to let someone else get the answer since it is all set up, but since no one has done it so far, I'll take the plunge and say it is Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok, Thailand.

 

Another good guess but it's too narrow to be Sukhumvit.

 

Here's a pic of Sukhumvit near Soi 24 circa 1969.

Name this country.

Taking a punt on Romania, the only reason being it was a province of the Roman Empire at one stage from what I can recall.  But I’m probably wrong.

Moldova.

Moldovca flows in Romania. The old Kingdom Moldova is shared between Romanian provinces of Moldova and the Republic of Moldova. However, the Moldova river flows only at the Romanian side. It then flows into the Siret River near a city named Roman. The Siret will then flow into the Danub near Galati (pronounced Galatz).
