My grandfather worked as a Vietnamese language translator in Thai military base in South Vietnam during 1968 - 1969
My grandfather was in Thai artillery battalion in South Vietnam, who knows maybe they've met lol

Your granpa is hero.
thank you for your service from Japan.
My uncle fought the insurgents in Nongkai and got shot through the neck...his Adam's apple got blown off and survived...so he couldn't tell stories. I was too young to understand sign language. The whole ordeal was actually weird to say at least.
@@bolshoibooze8010 Thank you for his service
Thank you for uploading this ❤🙏
Thankyou for posting. This rings a lot of Chimes!
My great-grandfather was a conscript soldier who fought in the Vietnam War. Died at home because of fever, I am Thai.
Sorry to hear he passed away, did he get conscripted into the north or south vietnamese army or the thai army? I assume the Thai army? I miss Thailand I have been 26 times in the last 25 years..I will be back when Thailand reopens to americans after the virus.

Great grandfather, I got some kind of disease from this war. And died at home.
Yo your great-great-grandfather fought in the vietnam war against the communist but u still have the USSR profile picture😂
My great-grandfather had dengue.
I was born in a rural village near Takhli RTAFB in 1966. I remember getting haircuts with hand clippers because there wasn't public electricity, sewer, or water services.😅
Good document. As many Thai born 90's. We are little known history about that time. No lession in the school too.
Excellent documentary, we are finally learning what actually happened during the Vietnam War when the USA was there.
Wonderful documentary my parents had a feeling about Vietnam (viet kong) but never could explain why. Now I understand.
Understand what?
That it’s wrong to run your country by the way you want? That it’s wrong to defend your own country from foreign invaders?
I'm a long time subscriber to this channel, I was originally in it for the nuke test shots so I know what I'm watching by now. Normally actions like these are thickly veiled in humanitarian propaganda, but in this film the Thai government officials don't even bother to pretend and tell it like it is, providing the viewer with an extraordinary insight in realpolitik in action.
This comment is 6 years ago niceeee
Our ( UK) royalty had a friendly relationship with Thailand. The king was a good man and is severely missed my many people of all nationality
Thank you. He was a GREAT king!!! He's posters are still all over thai restaurants.. He was super beloved. His son however!! He's the furthest thing than a king. He's bringing shame to the royal family, we hope the kings daughter will be queen. She's lovely.
@@eurasian55 I wish Thailand the best of luck in this. All my friends were ref T shirts up in Isan. I miss those days before everything went so expensive. Pai has changed so much also. Too much Yabah 😞
My grandfather was a king's guard in in the 1960s til 1973 after he retired when my dad was born in 1973 when the war ended
Ho Chi Minh lived in the north east of Thailand during the war. He lived in Nakon Phanom. The house is still there an open to tourists. An hour drive away in Sakon Nakhon, the American army had a secret air base at what is now called Kasetsart University Sakon Nakhon.
Used to stop by at Maos house. His cook was wonderful. He would make snake soup that was delicious
Was stationed at nkp 69-70
Wow that's interesting , great experience@@edwardhuett7924
My dad was born after the Vietnam war
เป็นประวัติศาสตร์ที่ควรศึกษาและควรจดจำ🙏🌹💜🇹🇭
I'm very sad I'm so sorry my friend i love you
At 4:08 anybody can tell what name of this song
Wilson Pickett....I'm sorry about that
My dad was in the Air Force in Thiland during Vietnam. He would read the crypto scripts that came in for missions. He lost his left eye their from some disease.
I dad was in Royal thai volun teer Force in that war
Thats A picture of the Bridge over the River Kwi. but
not THE bridge in the historical event.
My mom is thai and i think here grandparents did something in the cold war
It had to be done
Is communist infiltration inferior to american infiltration?
Communist came in during the dark of night. Americans came in when they were ask to by the Thai govt.
After Vietnam was divided ('54), many Vietnamese went by ship to South Vietnam, and as this story states 35K went to NE Thailand. These VN were easily coerced by North VN agents to assist guerillas in their terrorism. Thai special forces soldiers were "schooled & equipped" by Green Berets to stop the threat.
oh please train how many times doesn't change a fact is Thailand is week army

How many countries did it take to fight the Vietnamese??
USA and Russia fight each other on Vietnamese, Cambodia Laos territories
@@shovuthmen5478 Indirectly yes, but they were directly opposed by the Socialist Vietnamese. Believe me, were a lot more countries that were allied with the Americans ; the uk, Australia, Canada, South Korea, Japanese…
Makes me proud.
@@nobull772 I am deeply ashamed that my country took part in a war against Vietnam and it's people.
It shouldn't have happened and it's just like the current war of Ukraine and Russia, they're just defending their land against invaders.
@@Dan_B Both defenders and invaders did, and are doing what they had to.
As a non‐Asian Buddhist I send prayers to Thailand

The area in the north east is called Isan. Hot food and nice people. Always amuses me to see governments doing loads of stuff when it's too late. I spent a while in mukdaharn and there has always been an anti west feeling in places there. I love the place
That’s where my family and I are from. Strongest people from Isan🇹🇭💪🏽

@@user-bl9br3ry5k I love Thailand and the food. I made some very special friends there in the jungle. Unfortunately I lost two and only have one left in Mukdaharn. One day I will go and put my ghosts to sleep. I will feel the sun again. My wife lis from Udon ( 20 k South) and I lived in Pai for a long time. So long ago. Take care and good luck
@@kieronbevan7489 very nice my friend take care and good luck to you
the whole reason why i was born American. my grandfather born 1917 served ww2, korean war, vietnam war had some how convinced my grandmother into liking him year 1967. then my father was born in Bangkok Thailand in 1969 my grandfather already being established in America had convinced my grandmother once more to leave her people and start a family.
I am sadden that Thailand had deeply involved in the bombing of Northern Vietnam which killed thousands of people there.
I am also horrified by the aspect of letting the communist expanded undeterred, committing mass killing (like in Cambodia), cultural genocide (like Mao’s China), destroying buddhism, destroying our beloved monarchy (like in Russia). That cannot be happen at all cost, no matter the cost, no matter the risk, we will defend our home.
There are many kind of Socialism in the world, while the Khmer Rouge, which follow China ideology implemented mass killing and destroyed Buddhism in the country. The People Republic of Kampuchea, founded by Vietnam later revived the Buddhism, that made 96% of Cambodian became Buddhist again. Laos who follow Vietnam model is also and exception, they are both Communist and Buddhist country in a same time
Definitely sorry for your country's lost, but it was what it was, a country (Thailand during the 1960s and 1970s) trying to defend itself (from the perceived Communist threat and with US support) by being involved in the affairs of its neighbors.
why not,fuvk communism

USA won over Russia in Vietnam (huge support from Russia China North Korea and Khmer king). USA not lost because this war between communist and democracy. After Vietnamese war , Russia collapse. The real lost is Thailand Cambodia and Laos
@@shovuthmen5478 I find you know nothing about this so please don't comment. There was no Russia in Vietnam war. It is Soviet.
@@vanchien5874 yes it correct vietdog. Soviet and China communist fight each other on vietdog territory . Soviet collap after fight with USA
@@shovuthmen5478 Hello, ladyboy, Vietnam war ended in 1975, Soviet collapsed in 1991. Do you study history?
There is a lot of lies and twists in this video. The Thai gov itself was very brutal to Thai villages both south and north.
Yeah and they killed students.
Viet ngian dong dong
My grandpa fought along side Americans against the Vietnamese
He was Thai smoked hand rolled cigarettes every day
My Hmong soldiers and pilots were trained in Thailand paid for by the CIA.
Much more of a stable government and way less corruption. That's why Thailand managed to defend itself.
As an USA'henchman, Thailand and Korea fighted against Vietnamese to get economic benefits from USA. They committed many war crimes in VN.
Role of Thailand is collect money from USA ..
Vietnam war turn Thailand ,Singapore ,Philippine ,southkorea,got a lot money from usa..they are rich on that time by American tax money..
Thai soldiers are ghost soldiers.
Lmao, "ghost soldiers" =))))))))))
Thailand is very strong they got shoot but they not dead
how can you know they are not dead ?
They got full of monks neckless made from metal copper or even iron, it can protect them from far range, some of them believe that its holy power.
