It's in Wikipedia. Look for: Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base

It's at 15° 15′ 36″ N, 100° 21′ 0″ E, near the city of Nakhon Sawan.

Takhli town is on the old Highway 1 at the rail crossing of the Northern line. The airbase is a few kilometers West toward Chinat. The province is Nakhon Sawan. In 1970 it was a two lane paved road with no solders - it is now a divided highway. About the only area still recognizable from that period would the the downtown area across from the railway station.

They have extended it with another 9 holes. The course is a bit flat and short and the fairways are awful, lack of money for maintenance.

A nice clubhouse with good food and cheap beer, plus a pro shop.

A neighbour in this town used to work on the RTAF C130's.

We still go about twice a year for a game.

130km's west of here on the road to Chai Nat.
