- My friend and I revisited Bangkok's largest collection of military hardware from the Vietnam War and World War 2, but this time we toured the whole place!! Ironically, the friend I am with first came to Asia to be an extra in Apocalypse Now... he then ventured to Thailand and here he remains! There are police boats, US military trucks and jeeps, US helicopters and aeroplanes, missiles, bombs, a LOAD of train carriages. AND, did you ever wonder what happened to the planes people used to visit on Ramkhamhaeng and Romklao Roads? They're here too!! There are engines, chunks of metal, military buses and simulators. There are Japanese made US military vehicles and there are US made military vehicles (some in Ohio but where were the others made).
And here's the thing............. EVERYTHING is for sale! I met the owner and I have his business card! If you are interested in anything, get in contact and I will put you in touch.

The "bombs" may be auxiliary fuel tanks for aircraft.
Looks a great place to explore.
I'd say you were correct there Derek... cheers.
My son and I would have been in heaven over here!
I'll take you both over for an exploration mate.
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Pretty cool to see all those old relics Jimmy. That auction guy would love all the military items here for sale in the US. The cool thing about all the military auctions here is that most of them are all still intact and not parted out, he probably already knows about that. The shipping would be too expensive for him.
I'd say the 'owner' I met had more money than most... those train carriages number about 50! I would guess he picks up a lot of this stuff as 'scrap' and gets it pretty cheap. Mate, I can only imagine the shipping costs! 🙏🙏✌
Pretty sure he is pretty well off, to have all that land to put all his purchases also. LIke the way he turned some of them into overnight stays@@JBWanders73
Yes, the guy has a tractor company, a steel company, crane hire, resorts in Chiang Mai, a trucking company.... he's a resourceful character. I think he will rent the carriages out for 2 or 4 hours at a time haha
A true entrepreneur @@JBWanders73
Hello can i know where is here?
Whenever I the evacuation of Saigon or Clark and Subic Bay. You just can't imagine all the crap that we left there. Bunk beds, cars, office equipment, pool tables jukebox’s Chow Hall equipment. The list just goes on and on. Let alone the equipment .
The nearer you get to Khorat, the more and more stuff you see. Thank you for your service 🙏
The writing on the army truck engine was the Toyota symbol
Ah, OK, that makes sense, thanks
The trucks are Toyota, they were built by Toyota for the US Army for the Korean war. My dad had one, it was a Toyota BX 6x6, built was date 1965.
Thanks for the info mate
I would geek out at all this stuff. I would have a tetanus injection before I went.
Haha that's a good shout. I ended up covered in all sorts!
14:31/25:59 It looks like the site of Hercules Engines Inc old buildings are all intact at 101 11th St SE Canton, Ohio. I think they made apartments out of the building.
That looks like it is going to be on hell of a cat hous..........I mean resort!! 😍
😂😎✌
สวัสดีค่ะไม่ทราบว่าที่ไหนค่ะ
When I see you there an English phrase springs to mind "pig in Sh**). The Thai script is a list of things to check before use (on the left) and while using (on the right)
Haha I was indeed a porker in doodoo! If I'd had more battery, I would've filmed for hours. I was covered in grease and dirt afterwards mate!
Man i would love that Huey ! 😢
Me too mate

I love old junk, lol … I’m interested in the owner contact info. Looking for parts off the US Army Hice 27D Bridge Erection boats… the camo Army boats that were next to the blue police boats that you was on. Enjoyed the content
16:01/25:59 Thrust reversers halves for the the turbo-fan engines.
Thanks, really good to know. 🙏
The Helicopter was a UH-1H HUEY.
Thanks Mark 🙏
As Ahnuld would say. " Get to da Choppa!"
😂😂🙏✌
The bombs are empty fuel tanks for fighter jets...make canoo in Vietnam from them
Canoes? Cool! Maybe I should try and buy one, and do that.
The bombs are not bombs, they’re drop tanks probably from an F-4 Phantom
Thanks for the info
The truck is a Toyota
Which one? There are 100s there mate
fueltanks tiptanks
Definitely not U.S. built trucks..
Not helpful unlers you suggest where they were built. The trucks at 14:28 for example, the engines were made in Canton, Ohio. Were they then shipped overseas to be constructed? If so, where? Thanks in advance.
not ww2 trucks they are trucks from te 50 and 60 ties
Which ones, the 50s and 60s trucks there or the WW2 trucks there? 😀
i love to visit that place as i been looking for a old chopper for long time, i found and restored an old Russian gun boat from the Vietnam war, love to have the owners details as i want to purchase an old disused chopper from the vietnam war days
There's loads of choppers about Peter. If you're serious, I am sure I could arrange a meeting
