Along the river in Bangkok years ago ...

[Smiles]

Stumbled across this quite lovely short film taken by tourists on the Chao Praya river and side klongs of Bangkok ... in 1964.
Not a mobile phone glued to a Thai ear in sight :blackeye:

Thanks to 'rhodochrosite' for finding this one and posting it on Ting Tong ... from where I pilfered it. Lots of other videos in the same vein in the YouTube sidebar.

(For best viewing, click on the YouTube logo at bottom right, then double click on the movie itself to get Full Screen)

Thank you for pointing these out, Smiles. I would have loved to see the country back then.

Thanks also for the blog idea. I was flat out of them when I got home a couple of hours ago.

On my first visit to Thailand in 1969 is still looked the same as the video. Pattaya was quite a bit smaller and not so developed. In those days Americans were especially catered to by the locals. I'm sure that we all have special memories of our first visit!
