Don Muang Royal Thai Air Force Base – Wikipedia
“In November 1961, four RF-101C reconnaissance aircraft of the 45th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron stationed at Misawa AB, Japan, and their photo lab arrived at Don Muang under “Operation Able Marble”. The RF-101s were sent to assist RTAF RT-33 aircraft in performing aerial reconnaissance flights over Laos. “That was our secret mission to Thailand.” Amazon.com: Leland Olson: Books, Biography, Blog, Audiobooks, Kindle

A nice little bug infested klong ran past our quarters. It was usually full of snakes the same as our outside
showers and toilet. The mess tent was at least several hundred yards away.

Served warm in quart bottles, that 11% beer was made for short parties
