But here is a video of Korat that year. I assume it was taken by a US soldier.

They're samlors (meaning three wheels, but specifically human powered).  Tuk-tuk are motorised samlors, named after the noise of the engine.

 

Samlors are still used in many upcountry towns and cities:

Thai sign above the English sign says "Taking job applications for a lot of service girls"

 

I am sure the woman in the photo was worth every baht of her 5 baht.

This old photo I dug out this morning is from Korat in 1965.

The good old days. 5 baht barfines.

It might be where Dad met Mum.

Almost reminds me of the old Washington Square days in Bangkok minus the tricycles, places like Square One, Country Roads, Silver Star the Texxan, then later Bourbon Street. Bar fines in those days 150 or 200.
