Sattahip Naval Base & U-Tapao Royal Thai Navy Airfield

During the Vietnam War it was crucial for the United States to assist Thailand Militarily and so the Naval Base of Sattahip and Airbase of U-Tapao were built. This is a propaganda movie by the US military so it's a bit tedious in delivery. 

However it's an interesting insight into the scale of construction needed during those times.

Insee Tong ( อินทรีทอง Golden Eagle) Starring Mitr Chaibancha มิตร ชัยบัญชา

Insee Tong (Golden Eagle) was the last movie made by Thai film star Mitr Chaibancha as he died filming the last stunt in the movie (hanging from a helicopter) pictured above, on either Jomtien/Dongtan beach, or Sugar Palm Beach, Sattahip, October 8, 1970. 

There seems to be some confusion about the exact location and use of Dongtan Beach as either Jomtien Beach or Sattahip so we will look into it and update.

There's a shrine to Mitr Chaibancha on a quiet soi parallel to Jomtien Beach road in memory of the well loved actor.
