Documentary in Thai for Thai television featuring a narrator visiting Takhli in 2021 with photos and reminiscences about Takhli during our time on the Base and in the Village.
Most won't understand the narration but you will enjoy the old photos he displays while visiting the same streets and sites in this recent video feature. Also you can use a Thai to English online translation site to read the comments - many from people whose parents worked in Takhli Village or on Base.
You'll see the Winnie's we remember and Winnie's now -- overgrown and deteriorating. You or some GI buddies may be in the photos. Also Blue Danube and Lady Bar are pictures and many street and village scenes. None on Base.
If anyone can speak Thai or have a Thai speaker alongside you might leave some comments here on the gist of the narration. Fun to watch even without understanding the dialogue. You will likely catch a few words now and then.
Over 344,000 have viewed the video so it's been popular. Here is one of the 288 comments that follow the video:
Father used to tell me that at that time he worked as a waiter at a club. Father said that he had everything. My wife rented everything. My father told me that he had good money and had a fun life. When he learned that GI was going to move the army back, he decided to find a new job. Father is currently 74. yes"
This was made in May 2021 (Thai year 2564) and the title is "The Truth Is Not Dead" The video does deal with the bar scene and workers but matter of factly.
This link was sent to me by my Thai friend Surapong whose father worked on the Base. I say Khob khun krub to Surapong.
