Awesome pictures,Jingjai.The most enjoyable cup of coffee I've had,viewing your collection,in a long time.This is the Thailand that put the spell on me(or maybe it was the stick?)I first came in 72 and thought ""How can I live here?" I was envious of the military guys living and working(well,not so much the working part,rather making American dollars) there.In 72 it was 20 baht to the dollar.I would take the fishing boats in Pattaya out to the islands for the day.No-one around.Truly Thailand was a dreamland.
Most Americans I've encountered that were fortunate enough to have been in Thailand during that timeframe of 1965-1975,say it was the best times of their lives.I absolutely would agree.Although Thailand has dramatically changed,to me,it's all still good.I'll save your slideshow and watch it again at a later date and send it to a few friends.Thanks for putting that together and sharing it here.

As much as I would like to take credit for it, the link was sent to me in an e-mail.
If one is interested in contacting the photographer...run your cursor over the top right hand corner, and a facebook icon will appear.
Also, if you want to save a particular photo, run your cursor along the bottom of the page, right click on the photo, and save as usual.
