| Until modern cement Barracks were built, the Hootches were the main stay of the GI. |
| Some Base Hootches were constructed so they took advantage of the air currents to cool and at the same time, prevented rain from entering the structure. |
| These small "Baht Busses" lined up outside the main gate waiting to transport GI's to the local pub for a baht (5 cents) or two. |
| These Base Hootches were built differently and they had "flaps" that closed when the monsoons came to keep the rain out. |
