Frank has captured the infamous Lumberyard (It really was a lumberyard). |
Local homes with the ever present cow, Takhli Hill in the background. The Comm Site on the hill would have been roughly behind the telephone pole. |
The Pornsawan Hotel, built early '68. This shot would have been taken from where the road to Bangkok crossed the railroad tracks. The hotel faced the tracks. |
