Went ‘up the river’ into Bangkok in 1959 on an APA (Troop Transport) and we were churning mud all the way.
On either shore, the natives were bathing, washing clothes, dipping water, animals and humans were discharging waste-it really didn’t matter what order the people were lined up, but the water seemed so brackish it probably didn’t flow fast enough to ‘hurt’ anyone —and life went on.....
Went back up again in 1961 on an LST (Flat bottom ship) and not churning mud as bad but the life on the river bank was the same...
