7TH R.R.F.S. (Radio Research Field Station)
Ramasun Station
During the Viet Nam war I was in Udorn Thailand from August 1971 to August 1972. I was stationed at the 7th Radio Research Field Station. also known as Ramasun Station. Here are some pictures from that time and area.
The base was closed around 1976, to the best of my knowledge.

I was part of "B" Company while stationed at the 7th. The mission at
the 7th was classified Top Secret. To the best of my knowledge, it is still
considered Top Secret so I'll continue to treat it that way.
An
aerial view of the 7th. Located outside of Udorn (Udon Thani), Thailand.
This

I was only inside the building once or twice. This was where
all the "Big Brass" hung out.
This

Many a long walk from the main gate to the barracks
after a night enjoying the sights downtown.

to the main part of the base.

cheap beer and enjoying the local bands.

were some slot machines inside but
mainly a place to drink beer.

A couple of bars and a tailor that made custom

This is a huge picture and it is probably
a "Dial Up" Killer! You have been warned.
This
is the motorcycle shop in Udorn.
I had a Thai Drivers License and a 350
Honda while in country. Sold the bike
when I finished my tour of duty.
Warning

Really
shouldn't need any
explanation.
