This faded color slide, dated 1965 and originating from the personal collection of a 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing serviceman, captures a quiet moment along a Thai klong (canal), likely in Bangkok. A waterside Buddhist temple with its distinctive tiered chedi and red-tiled pavilion roofs rises across the water, while a fellow boat passenger looks on. Images like this reflect the experiences of American servicemen stationed in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, many of whom passed through or took rest-and-recreation leave in neighboring Thailand, home to several key U.S. Air Force bases.
