Casey: What unit were you in at DaNang. I was with the 366th Civil Engineers from 7/70-3/71. I ended up at DaNang thru my efforts to try to get back to Udorn.

expat67,
I guess it has changed quite a bit since then. I have only been going to Thailand on a regular basis since 1994. I met a wonderful lady from Udon in 1999, so since then I go to udon on a regular basis, maybe one day we will marry , but that is down the road.I don't know if the thai air force base was in the same location as it is now, but if it was my lady lives out on the other side of the air force base going away from town.

expat67,
I was a little further north then you. I was stationed at Phu Bia with a US Army Security Agency (intel) outfit during 67/68. I got to come back to Saigon in 72/73 with a medical unit. As long as I wasn't getting shot at I had a great time.

Expat and BigDusa I was in Danang in 1966 & 1967 with an army intelligence unit. Think the designation was 524th MI Bn...long time ago. Used to fly Air America, C120's etc. and anything else that would stay up off the ground. Seems like we had a guys in Phu Bia and Hue for sure. I was not with ASA.

Slojo: Yes, the airbase is in the same place as it is now. Back then, we did not have the gate where you go into the commercial airport at now. Back in the 60's & 70's, that end of the runway was all jungle. There were 2 gates, both on Friendship Hwy. The main gate for the Thai AF nowdays was the gate for Air America and the main gate for the USAF/Thai AF is the one that is closest to downtown nowdays. I, too, plan to settle down in Udon after I retire. Maybe we will run into each other. If you are former military, there is a VFW Post in Udon. They meet at the Charoen Hotel. Is your girl anywhere near Tambon Makhkang?

BigD: I never made it to PhuBai or to Saigon. Only places off base other than R&r's to BKK and to Okinawa were to Monkey Mountain and to the authentic China Beach (the one that the TV program was based on). Could you do me a big favor? Could you PM me with the name of the lady from Pattaya and the bar where she works? I promise not to disclose it to anyone. Thanks. Its good to hear from a fellow Viet vet.
