August 7, 200916 yr 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.
August 7, 200916 yr Takhli RTAF is still there and has a nice 9 hole golf course. Look on goggle earth and you can zoom in on it. was ststion there 1970
August 7, 200916 yr 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.
August 7, 200916 yr if you want information on the USAF at Takhli this is a good link http://amer-thai2001.tripod.com/id9.html
August 14, 200916 yr Takhli RTAF is still there and has a nice 9 hole golf course. Look on goggle earth and you can zoom in on it. was ststion there 1970 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.
