My dad stumbled upon this uploaded film online and was very excited to see himself in it. He is the gentleman in white shirt and glasses seen tugging the baby elephant during the start of the film. According to him, it was Lufthansa's first ever flight carrying elephant.

Lived there from 1966 to 1970. Fond memories

WOW The best video of Bangkok I've ever seem.

Wow, this is so bizarre. I never thought I would get a chance to see my country, Thailand, in its old days.

Looks like this was shot in the mid 1960s. This would be how my dad saw Bangkok when he was a kid. Looked much more serene and real than the very modern but frantic Bangkok of today.

Whaooo is this what my home town look like back then? Just wow

Wonderful culture😍

ปี 1960หรือ พ.ศ 2503 เราเกิดพอดี มองกลับมาจน พ.ศ2567 เรานี้ก็เดินมาไกลได้เจอยุคที่เราเคยคิดเล่นๆถึงความสะดวกสบายในช่วงนั้นและมันก็เป็นจริงขึ้นเรื่อยๆ แต่ก่อนพ่อคุยกับแม่ว่าคอยดูนะต่อไปลิเกเล่นที่กรุงเทพเราอยู่แม่กลองก็จะได้ดูด้วยจากโทรภาพ 555ลิเกคณะบุษบา ละครวิทยุคณะเกศทิพย์ เพลงร.ร สอนขับรถส.สะพานมอญ เพลงเสียงตามสายเย็นลมว่าว ร.รที่เอาข้าวใส่ปิ่นโตไนั่งกินหน้าห้องเรียนเป็นแถว เฮ้ยมีความสุขจริงๆคนในครอบครัวเพื่อนบ้านอยู่กันครบ แต่ถึงตอนนี้เราเหมือนจะเป็นรุ่นตอไปที่จะดูการจากลา ไม่เป็นไรเราไปรำวงย้อนยุคเรายังเต้นแบบk potให้หลานเหลนไม่เหงาได้อยู😅😅😅

Beautiful way of life ❤ God bless Thailand 🇹🇭

Extraordinary. Just a pity no one told the voice over guy how to pronounce Chao Phraya. I was wondering what the K.O. Fryer was.

Thank you very much, this documentary let me see my parents period, it so impressive

Good 😊

65 years now

แจ๋วเลย

โอ้มายก๊อด แฟลตดินแดงนี้มีมาตั้งแต่ปี 2498 แล้วหรอ สภาพดูดีมาก แต่ตอนนี้ปี 2566 แล้ว

*this must've been filmed around Sathorn/Silom, correct me if I'm wrong*

❤❤

Izin download 🙏

May I have permission to use the clip to expand on it or cut it to make a documentary?  

Those were not the good old days. They were awful. The only thing in the video I wish hadn't faded away are the snake (not dragon) kites.

Can I borrow your video to make a music video? I will credit your video under the clip for sure. @MichaelRogge

I love this old footage of Thailand. Just fascinating. Thanks very much Michael.

such a precious film,i really love it.

I shall soon upload films about Thai rice cultivation in the sixties with shots of the king.

astonished by how little has changed. Great upload, thanks.

This movie was filmed 4 years before I was born. I miss my mom very much and she is in the heaven now. It's good to know how she lived in Bangkok in those days. Thanks for sharing this movie.

Thanks for uploading the valuable film like this. I'm typical Thai, but this traditional lifestyle and peaceful city is really rare and it cannot be seen today.

Thank you for sharing this video. It's a piece of Thai history from a country that has rapidly changed over the last fifty years.

Bangkok life that I never see in my life. Thank you. MichaelRogge

Thank you Michael , very interesting , rare film ,Thailand .

Wonderful look into history -

This event is in memory of the Thailand forever, big thanks.

By the time I got there 25 years ago it was allmost the same, the klongs were allready being filled in. I was lucky to see the real Thailand, before it changed. It is quite sad so much was lost and for what, hand phones, seven eleven, macdonalds and Starbucks..

Thanks for collecting these great artifacts together!

Great video! Thailand was a wonderful place to visit during those time.....wish I was born earlier

I remember first visiting Thailand back in the late 1960's. Don Mueang was a brick and cement building and the drive into BKK was all open fields...this was filmed in the early 1960's or even earlier, but not that much different. Interesting contrast to Bangkok today!

This is amazing. I am 41 years old now and I remember Thailand like this when I visited as a kid. I love the modern take on Bangkok now but this sure brings back some memories I forgot I had! ;)

Fascinating, thank you!

Loved this thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the good old memory! :)

Thank you very much for sharing this awesome movie. So many things has changed in Bangkok, even after my first visit in mid-1990s.

Prachtig, zoals steeds. Bedankt.

Fabulous!

Thank you for the video.

These are great!! Keep em coming :)

Thank you for youre intresesting clip round the World, i really liked them a lot

..Thank you for sharing,... Thai people...

thankyou for your's video is amazing....

Very interesting documentary.

Thai people are pleased by your video thank you.

beautiful

How this marvelous city..Bangkok has changed since 1970....

such a beautiful life.

Thank you for sharing this film, although I felt that the city and the scenes looked older than it was, it it was filmed 45 years ago. I left Thailand 50+ years ago to go to school in London. I also think that the silk industry was probably filmed in San Kamphaeng District in Chiengmai. In the 1950s and 60's, Jim Thompson opened a Thai Silk shop in Bangkok.

Bedankt.

Great movie

nice vid sir !

Amazing. Where you get all these old films from?

I remember the temple rubbings. The government banned that long ago. The stone carvings came from a temple in Ayutthaya and date back several centuries.

My fiancee is Thai (25% Chinese). I have been in Bangkok several times and it is amazing to see the roots of the Culture.

🙏

wow

@12:30 and @14:00 very funny to hear the real chinese thai accent :D and at @16:17 thats also one of the reason why houses in Isaan (North Eastern Thailand) has their house built high up from the floor, don't know why the thais of siam didn't adapt this idea.

Bedankt. Heeft u mijn clip over Lamai Beach gezien? Ik vraag me af hoeveel er veranderd is de laatste 22 jaar! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7KEn7JitNvVenU.html

..See car on the road, I think 50 or 60 year ago...

It was good to see the little bottles of ear lotion being filled in sterile conditions. :) Wonderful old movie. Thank you.

rally enjoyed this Thank you so much ____ [◕‿◕] /\❤/\ __L L_

11:31 牛标味精？😳

My ancestor is a Chinese immigrants from China too. 3:51 I can remember few Taocheu chinese language that used to speak in my family. All I know is that they're talking about foods. Now nobody can speak them anymore. Even in China, this special chinese language is now erased by a communism's mandarin chinese.

god damn lai woon is so skinny and sleeping without a mattress that's gotta hurt.
