Bangkok Street Scenes 1965

[@Hondadctrider]

The young girl @ 1:09 would be about 60 years old now, I would love to see her reaction to seeing this clip of herself, I hope she has had a good life so far.

[@tonkatoytruck]

Wow!!! The first thing that strikes me is how well everyone is dressed. Thanks for sharing.

[@RatFink-nr5td]

As a farang businessman, I first traveled to Bangkok in 1995. This video shows similar street scenes and street food, except the cars were different, and the clothes different. I'm now retired in Jakarta, and many similarities.

[@ThailandFoodWalk]

What an amazing piece of film history. Thank you for uploading this!

[@grandmasterjo1]

Thank you. Brilliant. I had travelled to Bangkok first time in the 80’s and gone back there 30 times 👍👍

[@grandmasterjo1]

Haha Ok here’s a confession Not once did I ever take a massage or go for the women Not my scene 😜😜😜 and I’m not gay But I’m happy 😆 Love the food the buzz the value for $ The lady boys are cute but scary 😝😝😝 The saddest sight in Bangkok is the hookers alone on the road, in the rain, waiting in hope.

[@grandmasterjo1]

Jerk Of All Trades Bangkok. But I do like Huan Hin. Chingmai.

[@orangeearth4139]

Was it friendlier in the 80s? Were ladyboys and prostitutes as visible?

[@apulejo]

Meine Eltern waren 64-65 in Bangkok als mein Vater mit seiner italienischen Band dort gearbeitet hat. Das Restaurant hiess "Carlton" und bis vor einigen Jahren gab es das noch auf der Silom Road. Danke fürs Uploaden. Das ist Teil meines Lebens, schliesslich bin ich dort entstanden :-)

[@farouqomaro598]

The buses and the cars are simply awesome

[@sabotander]

Tuk Tuk design is never change even though time has passed for 55 years later.

[@paecg2496]

Yes

[@ritrealtenor602]

"CLASSIC"

[@vintageexcellence]

Don’t forget now the TUK Tuks all have colorful blinking LED lights and loud stereos playing techno if you want it. Also same loud exhausts 🤣

[@MisterMitchMM]

@@maxwellsmith9045 An auto rickshaw is a motorized version of the pulled rickshaw or cycle rickshaw. Most have three wheels and do not tilt. They are known by many terms in various countries including auto, baby taxi, pigeon, bajaj, chand gari, lapa, tuk-tuk, 3wheel or tukxi.

[@holycheese55]

I can see tuk tuk patrol

[@randomcurrypuff6237]

Surprisingly the spirit house shop at 0:30 is still around. It's right next to BTS/MRT Bang Wa Station, I recognized it right away since I passed that place every day.

[@bcharlie96]

Lovely nostalgic feeling. Don’t mind the sound at all. Thank you for uploading. Would be great if you got more clips 🌻

[@user-lx6bl2wd8g]

Markets exactly the same as now. Those sounds of the road have been added. You don't hear horns blowing, it would be considered impolite.

[@SimonNoina]

Absolutely... even in Pattaya on a Saturday night, you won't hear any horns blowing in traffic anywhere..

[@user-lx6bl2wd8g]

I've a Honda Tena. Yamaha Spark and a CBR300. The Tena is the best for Bangkok. Ride safe. Cheers.

[@edgarbleikur1929]

Exactly!

[@HaraldReportagen]

yes, I added some sounds to the movie since my grandfather did not record any sounds and silent movies are not very popular. I have to apology that I did not have any traffic sounds without horns - would have been closer to reality, I understand.

[@grandmasterjo1]

Maybe back then honking was a norm. Not today. In the 80s the motor cyclist would rev up at the traffic signals and zoom to race, that was more noise than the honking. Today motor cyclist don’t do it

[@devadaraksa973]

[@lofiminor]

This precious clip is ruined by the background 2000's electronic music.

[@HaraldReportagen]

I would have loved to add original music. If you have some royalty-free music from that time, please let me know.

[@lofiminor]

@@HaraldReportagen I suggest this song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/joebXnaog92Wnas This song is royalty free, composed by King Rama IX and recorded by the king's band in that age. "เทวาพาคู่ฝัน" (Te wa pa koo fun) The lyric is about a lonely girl in a beautiful town. She said the god build this nice town but forget to send someone to be with her.

[@Swaggerlot]

And the faked street sounds dubbed on.

As well as the added car horn blasts which is more like India than Thailand

0:55 - 1:07 Sanaam Luang weekend market วิวตลาดนัดสนามหลวง ใครเกิดไม่ทันดูซะ สมัยก่อนเดินแค่สนามหลวงยังรู้สึกว่าใหญ่มีของน่าดูเยอะแยะ แต่เดี๋ยวนี้ ไปเดินจตุจักรทั้งวัน ทำไมรู้สึกว่ามันไม่มีอะไรให้ดูเลย งงกับตัวเอง IMO the smaller Sanaam Luang market was exotic and interesting than nowaday Chatuchak market.

[@japanesehk2997]

Sweet as! 16mm is so vivid those scenes over 50 years ago seem like only a week ago to me.

[@berttkltan]

Somehow I got a penchant for the great old days especially in Bangkok, life was simple and people were nice with smiling faces around. However, things are changing at faster pace with high-rise buildings and people in Bangkok don't smile so much now. Sigh!

[@jay1970]

Albert Tan no life was not simple than or 100 years ago.

[@gitchai8838]

cause They’ve been in debt. house , car, kid education. country change to fully capitalism. they must earn enough money to pay their debt. This is why nowadays, they don’t smile as in the past

ไม่ใช่อะไรหรอก งบไม่พอค่าฟิล์มสี สมัยนั้นคงแพงมาก

[@kittenastrophy5951]

ทีวีกับ ฟิล์ม คนละเรื่องกัน นะ เทคโนโลยีทีวีมันซับซ้อนและใช้ทุนสูงกว่ามันก็พัฒนาช้ากว่าสำหรับการลงทุนของสถานี แต่หนังไทยสมัยนั้นก็มีหนังสีแล้ว อยู่ที่ว่าขนาดเท่าไหร่แต่นั้นเอง 16 ม.ม. หรือ 35 ม.ม. ก่อนเป็น 70 ม.ม.ทีหลัง อีกอย่างสมัยนั้นคุณก็ไม่รู้หรอกว่าเค้าถ่ายทีวีเป็นสีหรือขาวดำเพราะทีวีคุณดูได้แต่ขาวดำนะสิ ผมดูเรื่อง เรือนแพจากยูทูปก็เป็นหนังสีนะ

[@barebarekun161]

Is the sound artificially added or it's the real sound?

[@sokecool5194]

It a fake video

[@HaraldReportagen]

@Yoswin Freeman yes, I added the sounds when editing the film some years ago. The original footage was silent since my grandfather did not record any sounds. As you said, Yoswin, that would have required additional equipment. The Bolex camera itself was already pretty heavy. I pointed out in the film description that I added sounds (and who to credit for it), but KZbin only shows the text when user click on "show more...".
