The Narai Hotel had a revolving restaurant at the top. I dined there once. I spent a decade in Bangkok with my parents in the 80s. Fond memories.

Thank you!
I felt bad after Thailand was full of Westerners. But now the the floods of Russians and mainland Chinese came!

This was made many years before I was born but there is something about super 8 film that gives a certain nostalgia and connection to the place even tho I have never been to Thailand ... thanks for the upload!

[@dang25272549]

Thanks for a nice footage .I can't believe that this is my country back then. Such a beautiful place but today the natural country life like that is no longer exists .

[@jockd7]

Yes it does...if you go out of the major cities Thailand has not changed that much...I went to buriram in 2000...now 20 years later in has changed a little bit but the countryside is still the same....BEAUTIFUL THAILAND....

[@barebarekun161]

Was this shot before the Thai student uprising on October 14 1973?

[@indranilchakrabarty4196]

Possibly !!!!

[@GravelGrunt]

The year I came to Thailand. It was a very different country back then - just under 40 million people. Now the population is 75 million! :(

[@canman5060]

[@crackinthesky]

@@rjoyce268 I spent many years in the Army, that duty station was like no other I'd ever been stationed at. Fond memories, and many photos. 👍

[@paranoicb]

[@billytheweasel]
