Korat Satellite View area added 09/04/12, Last updated 09/30/12.

The images which follow came from using Google map to view Korat, then switching to the satellite view of the map area. I downloaded these images during September 2012, however I don't know precisely when they were taken.

Although this is from the war years (1967-1971), this will give you an idea of Korat's base layout by viewing this Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base Map. Map courtesy of Jim Bartholomew. B&W, about 183K, Added 09/28/02.

David Sasiela sent information that these satellite views were taken January 30, 2011. Added 09/30/12

• This is an Overview of Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base. Shows the full runway, with housing below the runway. About 120K. Added 09/04/12.
  
  
• This is a view of the northeast end of runway 3/21. The phase dock hangar shown just about middle of the image, with what was the Connie ramp extending up and to the right. About 114K. Added 09/04/12.
  
  
• This is a zoomed in further view of Korat RTAFB. The phase dock hangar is at the lower left of the Connie ramp. There appears to be two buildings on the Connie ramp which weren't there when I was at Korat 68-69. About 98K. Added 09/04/12.
  
  
• this image at the same magnification as koratRTAFB-03.jpg, with the center moved so the base swimming pool is about center. Pool shows as some white, then a little green, then greener. The Consolidated Mail Room (CMR) is to the left and a little lower shows as a white topped building. The Base Exchange is above the CMR. The angeled dark roof building are the barracks, two of these were for enlisted flight crew. There are also white roofed angeled barracks the top right being for enlisted FMS. The area immediately below the white roof barracks is where the Swadee Club (Airmans Club) once stood, now there is nothing but an over grown field. About 116K. Added 09/04/12.
  
  
• this image at the same magnification as koratRTAFB-03.jpg, showing further east and south. The white roof buildings at the lower left are what were the Bachelor Officer Quarters (BOQ). Not sure about the white roofed building in the middle. Believe the crescent shaped building with a dark roof, is what was the Officers Club (Kaboom Club) with again a dirty looking pool. About 124K. Added 09/04/12.
