Hope you guys enjoyed following along with my summer in Thailand! There really is no shortage of incredible opportunities available in the military, and if you guys are curious about joining/have any questions, you can drop them below! 👇🏼
Sam you are very smart I teach you Thai language in just 1 hour your brain is like a memory card I am very proud to meet you have a chance you must be good and speak fluent for sure❤️❤️❤️❤️
35 years ago my father was in Thai military, he was in a training with the American solder in Cobra Gold and training with them for over 10 years. It was great stories hearing him talked about it all the time. He been retired for quite a while and now 68 years old yet still talking about the old day. Nice seeing this actual vdo ❤️
@@SamEckholm my son is 13 years old half Thai -American. He mostly live in USA since 8 years old and have a huge dream to be Airforce Pilot. I read in several places that he will have to give up Thai nationality to be an airforce officer is that true? Thank you!
I’m Thai & not so much into reaction videos of Thailand, but the topic excites me bc I always want to know what they do in the Cobra Gold. Thanks for making it exciting & can’t wait to see more of your videos soon ☺️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m stationed on the USS America and we went to cobra gold 2020 and Thailand was super dope. Everything is insane with pricing it’s super cheap. I stayed at the veranda resort when I was their.
I love it! I was sent to Thailand on Cobra Gold in 2002, as a CM2 (SEABEE) and basically didn't leave. I moved back in 2003 and have been here ever since. สวัสดีครับผมชื่อเอครับ Sawadeed Krab, Pom Chue A Krab. Thanks Sam!
Glad you liked it here in Thailand, almost all foreigners say that about us but hearing one from servicemens coming from overseas to work along with us hits different. Hope we can keep doing this all the way to next year and probably even more!
Welcome to Thailand I hope you like our country and love Thai people. With a subconscious mind all of Thai people are kindness and always they like to help and be considerate to foreigners. Wherever when you are going to somewhere in Thailand, you will see their smiles and will enjoy their hospitality. Thank you for loving Thailand and hope you come back again again and again. Please notes to anyone that how is Thailand ❤️😊
OMG I loved Thailand. I visited that country in 2004, 2006 & 2008. Great country and it is indeed the land of smiles. I had no problem as an African-American socializing with Thai ladies and they did not give me any negative attitude at all. It's great for shopping, too. Night life is fine so long as you know where to go and not get caught up in any schemes. I'm looking forward to a return trip. BTW is it just me or does this guy really have a knack for telling a story and keeping his audience engaged...definitely thumbs up!
My dad was a retired major for The Thai Phychological Operations Unit. He liked to talks about this special practice between Thai-USA military units. We enjoyed listening to the story.
This video is amazing. I feel like I'm watching a movie. As a Thai, I'm so glad and happy to see my own country through your perspective. Thank you for this video and thank you for loving Thailand.
I was in Thailand down in Phuket in January 2020 and had a wonderful time. Now I need to find a reason to go back, and Operation Cobra Gold looks like a possible solution.
I spent about 5yrs based at U-Tapao Royal Thai Naval Base from 1971-75 , just down the street from Pattaya (pronounced Pat-Tah-Yah). I was part of Det 12, 40th Air Rescue Unit. From U-Tapao we did missions all over Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. Thailand is beautiful and HOT.
I was at U-Tapao from August of '72 to August of '73, putting the bombs on the b-52's. Operation linebacker two was quite busy! Enjoyed my many times going to Pattaya. Thoroughly enjoyed the Thai people, the culture and the food! My Pen Ry! (Sp). I spent a lot of time at the USO Charles, probably bumped into you. At least somewhere there
Spent 67 days TDY at UT in 1967. Was there when the first B-52 came in. Our job was to build the bomb dump, then build and deliver the bombs once the 52's got there. The first revetments were made of sand bags. We worked 12 hour shifts 7 days per week. Enjoyed the place, but was ready to get back to Japan.
It is hot but even the girly bars have air con now and everyone has ice available to put in your beers and stay cool. The whores are uglier and fatter now though.
Wowww, I was born in 80’s , I actually the product of invasion of communism in Cambodia. My mother is Cambodian and my father is Thai. I have heard that the war back then is pretty bad.
I’m Thai and also your TikTok fan. I just realized that you were here in Thailand this year! By the way, your Thai language sounds like you have been here for months. 😄👍🏻 Glad you love it here and hope you have chances to come back again in the future. There are so many more incredible places you can visit and I believe you will create a lot of wonderful videos from those trips. ❤️
Welcome to Thailand 🙏🏼, the video is so amazing, and represent another aspect of the area. It is such a good eye opening of our country! Hope you guys have a wonderful time in Thailand! ☺️✌🏻
Aloha Sam! Excellent Video! My Thai wife (Sirinuch) and I enjoyed your presentation very much and we look forward to returning to Thailand again soon. Our condo has been empty for two years ( covid travel restrictions) and we cannot wait to return. Well done!
I feel so happy that a foreigner came to thailand and had such a good experience hope others see this video and get a glimpse of what thailand is like and come visit us more🥺
I am a expat retired E-7 USAF person who has lived here full time since 2008, I was here first time during Vietnam War 71-73. Enjoyed your take on Thailand thanks.
By far one of your best videos, Sam. I'm a huge fan, and always love watching your adventures. Really nice job on this one. Would have been nice to bring Swayne... too bad he couldn't come with you. Adventure of a lifetime!
Hi Sam! Thank you so much for coming to Thailand and showing us the scenes that a civilian like myself would never be able to experience!! It's awesome!!! 😍
Enjoyed your vlog......I have been to Thailand and the general SE Asia area a few times and have to agree with you Thailand & its people are something special.
Awesome video! I’m in the process of enlisting Active Duty Air Force as a Public Affairs Specialist and hope to someday participate in many missions such as this. Great perspective and photo shots from your channel. Thanks for your service and for sharing
Spent a year at U-Tapao; 1970-71. Bunch of time in Pattaya, too, but I never heard it pronounced the way that you did. I continue to enjoy your PA contributions.
Hello Sam, this vlog is so nice ... as my father is the ex-retired Thai army general. I remember in 1988 (and possibly some years around that time), he had been involved with the co-ordination of this Cobra Gold training. He previously had some training in Fort Bragg and Fort Benning before as well. I remember too that some years he had to join the training of CBG in Hawaii. So thanks for a cool summary of your trip. I'm glad you had a great time in Thailand as before Covid19, Pataya can be overcrowd, esp. on the beach. Cheers,
As Thai, thank you so much for your video presenting of Thailand. It is so good and very kind of you. There are many attractive places for sightseeing in my country. And There is also COBRA base station in Nakhon Ratchasima, North eastern of Thailand. I wish you come back to Thailand again. And the last I would like to tell , you have very sparkle and pretty eyes and the inner of you make me feel joyful and happy.
Great video, man!! My uncle was an Air Force veteran. He used to be stationed at Peterson Air Base so when I saw you here on yt I instantly became amazed. Keep up the good work, man!!
I used to study as a Thai Pre-cadet and my goal was to study as a US cadet. I graduated as a 3rd rank of Army which I pretty sure I can get the scholarship to study abroad (there are Army, Air force, Navy and Police studied together in the school). But after graduation, I decided to resign, quit my military life. In recent years, a lot of things in Thai military have changed. 4 years passed since I quit, I am glad I made the decision. Thai people are facing lots of problems because of Thai Army, Im glad Im not one of them anymore.
I’m Thai and I have no problem whatsoever with Thai Army. Thai Army people are always very helpful in time of need. Most Thais do have problems with politicians. The current prime minister came from legit election process and most Thai love him.
Sam Eckholm thank you for your service! New viewer here ran across your channel and this Vlog sure takes me back in time. I served one year at Utapao Air Force Base as an aircraft electrical repairman working on B-52 bombers and KC 135 tankers during the Vietnam war. And yes it does get really hot in Thailand🥵 looking forward to your next adventure✌🏻
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful video. You’re very positive thinking and open minded and everyone here very sweet when you guys speaking Thai 👏👏👏👌.
This video brought me back to US marine disposing landmines around the border of Thailand and Cambodia during last August. They are great people and I have got a chance to generate my friendships with them too. Hopefully Cobra Gold will be always bridging the gap between US and Thai military 🪖🎖️.
Disposing land mines while guarding an air force base that is responsible for the largest bombing operation in history - illegally - on neutral nations using thai soil while only mentioning charity
its because of the mandatory hotel 15 days qurantine, they reduced pricing of hotels for the qurantine so beasically you can get cheap hotels. Pricing reduce to everyone
Yo you could literally be a regular youtuber this already feels like I'm watching a youtuber with 1 million subscribers keep it up bro, you got some serious talent.
Hi, Sam! love watching your video. I'm glad you like Thailand. Hope you come back to explore and make more videos like this in our country soon. Thank you for sharing the great and positive energy. 👍👍👍
I just have seen your video, and this is the most beautiful moment in Thailand never ever. Because it has a few travelers to visit, paradise of Thailand right there right now. Fantastic one!
Went over to Thailand for three weeks and loved it. One of my all time favorite travel countries. People are friendly, food was amazing and it was a beautiful place. Will go back.
I'm glad to see you enjoyed in Thailand even in the time of COVID-19 pandemic. Now the situation is getting better day by day, Thanks for your military cooperation with our country and a great content!
Really nice to see Chonburi where my was born, Thanks for being your patient during quarantine. Most of it so glad to here that you like Thailand a lot . I am Thai but live in North Pole Alaska Now. :)
It is very hot there in Thailand and I spent two years there during the Vietnam War and enjoyed that time there and got to know many people from there along with some Americans. There are times when I want to return there to visit both that country along with Japan also.
There is no quarantine anymore in this November. Hope you will travel back and enjoy traveling in Thailand. Thank you for sharing. Your video is so useful for Thailand. Love the way you organized your stuffs on the shelf, air force taught you to do that, huh!. Utapoa is US made for Thailand, thank you USA.
If you ever get a chance, you need to visit the Philippines! I just retired here little less than a year ago and loving it...People are so nice and friendly. Well worth the trip if you ever get a chance
I'm a military in thailand, i'm very happy when all of you try to speak Thai language , i think it's not difficult for all of you, and nowadays I'm also learning English language, i am speaking, writing, listening, i can a little bit i try to learn everyday because i hope that i will work with us soldiers, I thank you for you all that build the school for children you are very kindness, may good bless youall.
High humidity & precipitation in Thailand this year due to tropical storms. The northeast and parts of north are underwater so it’s lucky your training went well till the end. Now nearly 50% ppl have been fully vaccinated. Things are getting better😁
I am Thai and worked as a military interpreter for US Army between 2020-2021. I worked for US Army SFAB and US Army Special Forces in Lopburi. I was placed to translate for combat logistic support unit and tactical combat casualty care course. It was such amazing experiences working with you guys and the RTA. Thanks for giving great trainings to our RTA! :)
Stationed out here in Hawaii. I'm an artillery 1LT. Never got to go to cobra gold(super bummed because I wanted Hawaii to go train in Asia). But know plenty of people who did and did some brigade level staff work involved with it. The Thai army comes here all the time to train too. In fact I went to jungle school(Hawaii exclusive) and had two Thai Lieutenants in my class(and two French Canadian corporals oddly enough)
I'm curious, have you ever thought of making a proper film, maybe just a short film? Like not like your usual stuff on here on youtube. Like a story youve always wanted to tell be it scripted or a documentary, smth like that.
Yah I’ve certainly thought about it! Really just enjoying the freedom and creativity TH-cam offers right now. Who knows what the future will hold though!
Hi Sam! This is my first time watching your video. And you’re totally got me because your vlog is so awesome! I watched the whole things without any skips. Everything is so great; footages, musics, editing and also your story. I really hope you enjoyed this trip and please come back to Thailand again if you can. Can’t wait to see your next journey here. And Thai people always happy to welcome you guys too🇹🇭
It used to be an old US military Air force base during Vietnam War. Then it turns out to be an international Airport of Chonburi Edit: Thank you for your discussion about my reply story down below :)
I was part of Cobra Gold 2020 right before Covid in March 20. I remember getting the fruit smoothies for lunch. The terminal 21 mall in Korat was one of the nicest malls I ever seen. Awesome time.
16:19 Those UC-35's are such cool aircraft, along with the Learjet C-21A's! Saw one zooming out of KTPA a while ago, those small planes have absurd climb rates!
I'm glad that you're enjoying your life in Thailand I read that time I can get rid of all the stress and the negativity that's been happening during covid-19 like I've been so stressed and so negative about what's going to happen next and I overthink too much but thank God for the Buddhist meditation I began to realize about how wonderful it is just to finally feel like myself and feel better from all the stress and all the anxiety I've been having so I am so thankful that you are enjoying your life in Thailand and you serve in the US army right if you are then I am thankful that you're protecting our country and you're protecting all of us including Thailand of course haha
Great video production blending the exercise and your experience on location. Definitely different and more professional than some of the other military PAO vids I’ve seen 👍

Really nice to see Chonburi where my was born, Thanks for being your patient during quarantine. Most of it so glad to here that you like Thailand a lot . I am Thai but live in North Pole Alaska Now. :)

🙋
😅 ผมอยู่ดีดีขึ้นฟีดมา
ยินดีที่ได้รู้จักกันเพื่อนคนนี้ขอชื่นชม🇫🇮
It is very hot there in Thailand and I spent two years there during the Vietnam War and enjoyed that time there and got to know many people from there along with some Americans. There are times when I want to return there to visit both that country along with Japan also.
There is no quarantine anymore in this November. Hope you will travel back and enjoy traveling in Thailand. Thank you for sharing. Your video is so useful for Thailand. Love the way you organized your stuffs on the shelf, air force taught you to do that, huh!. Utapoa is US made for Thailand, thank you USA.
Another great video Sam, been to Thailand a few times and its a great country.
If you ever get a chance, you need to visit the Philippines! I just retired here little less than a year ago and loving it...People are so nice and friendly. Well worth the trip if you ever get a chance
Popped up in my feed today and must say, you had me watching to the end. Great content and superb editing. Definite sub!
Thanks, Darren!!
I'm a military in thailand, i'm very happy when all of you try to speak Thai language , i think it's not difficult for all of you, and nowadays I'm also learning English language, i am speaking, writing, listening, i can a little bit i try to learn everyday because i hope that i will work with us soldiers, I thank you for you all that build the school for children you are very kindness, may good bless youall.
I love your editing!!! Appreciate that you even made the closed captions
😊 thanks
High humidity & precipitation in Thailand this year due to tropical storms. The northeast and parts of north are underwater so it’s lucky your training went well till the end. Now nearly 50% ppl have been fully vaccinated. Things are getting better😁
I am Thai and worked as a military interpreter for US Army between 2020-2021. I worked for US Army SFAB and US Army Special Forces in Lopburi. I was placed to translate for combat logistic support unit and tactical combat casualty care course. It was such amazing experiences working with you guys and the RTA. Thanks for giving great trainings to our RTA! :)
Thank you for good supporting video of quarantined in my country and enjoy ..amazing Thailand 🇹🇭🎶👍🏼
Stationed out here in Hawaii. I'm an artillery 1LT. Never got to go to cobra gold(super bummed because I wanted Hawaii to go train in Asia). But know plenty of people who did and did some brigade level staff work involved with it. The Thai army comes here all the time to train too. In fact I went to jungle school(Hawaii exclusive) and had two Thai Lieutenants in my class(and two French Canadian corporals oddly enough)
I was part of cobra gold 2017 in Korat, Thailand and it was hands down my best experience while I was active duty.
I'm curious, have you ever thought of making a proper film, maybe just a short film? Like not like your usual stuff on here on youtube. Like a story youve always wanted to tell be it scripted or a documentary, smth like that.
Yah I’ve certainly thought about it! Really just enjoying the freedom and creativity TH-cam offers right now. Who knows what the future will hold though!
This is what air force guys do. They aren't even real military.
I like your VDO a lot. It sound like a good planning overall. good job! well done. Thanks for coming and hope you will come again.
Hi Sam! This is my first time watching your video. And you’re totally got me because your vlog is so awesome! I watched the whole things without any skips. Everything is so great; footages, musics, editing and also your story. I really hope you enjoyed this trip and please come back to Thailand again if you can. Can’t wait to see your next journey here. And Thai people always happy to welcome you guys too🇹🇭
I ‘m from Thailand . Welcome to Thailand and thank you so much to present . It very good and amazing.
When he said “Utapao” I was like “hold up, the planet in Star Wars came from a Thai town?!?!?”
Haha I thought the same thing
Exactly where Spielberg was inspired. It's a renowned name of the American airbase for B-52 in the Vietnam war.
It used to be an old US military Air force base during Vietnam War. Then it turns out to be an international Airport of Chonburi
Edit: Thank you for your discussion about my reply story down below :)
@@Jrp_Frame American Forces has never stationed in Siam or Thailand during WWII .It's occupied by the Japanese Army in the name of "Axis Power".
Yes, it was an old U.S. air base so it is most likely that the planet's name was inspired from a location in Thailand.
I was part of Cobra Gold 2020 right before Covid in March 20. I remember getting the fruit smoothies for lunch. The terminal 21 mall in Korat was one of the nicest malls I ever seen. Awesome time.
16:19 Those UC-35's are such cool aircraft, along with the Learjet C-21A's! Saw one zooming out of KTPA a while ago, those small planes have absurd climb rates!
Thank you for representing my country 😊
As a Thai I want to thank the US for helping to train our soldiers. Long may the partnership continue!
I'm glad that you're enjoying your life in Thailand I read that time I can get rid of all the stress and the negativity that's been happening during covid-19 like I've been so stressed and so negative about what's going to happen next and I overthink too much but thank God for the Buddhist meditation I began to realize about how wonderful it is just to finally feel like myself and feel better from all the stress and all the anxiety I've been having so I am so thankful that you are enjoying your life in Thailand and you serve in the US army right if you are then I am thankful that you're protecting our country and you're protecting all of us including Thailand of course haha
Welcome to Thailand
I am a combatcamera man
Roya Thai Navy you're welcome
You've filmed Thailand beautifully. Thank you and hope you will visit again :)
How fun! Love they let you workout! My son is 20 and is shipping out soon and hope he has great adventures as well.🙂
Thank you for your service and journey, Sam. What an awesome video.🇺🇸👍
Don't stop making videos Sam! Really enjoy your vids
Glad you like them! Lots more to come.
Was a part of Cobra Gold 4x while at amphibious construction battalion 1. It was always a lot of fun. Long days, humidity and amazing team work.
Great video production blending the exercise and your experience on location. Definitely different and more professional than some of the other military PAO vids I’ve seen 👍
Thank you for amazing VDO.PM sets Nov 1,2021 for reopening to foreign tourists from low-risk countries. Welcome to Thailand 🇹🇭🙏🤓
