Pagers?
Invented in 1921, pagers (also known as beepers) were used by the Detroit Police Department when they successfully put a radio-equipped police car into service. In 1959, the term “pager” was coined by Motorola. By the 1970s, tone and voice pagers were invented. After the tone, the pager relayed an audio message.
The sign looks like one of those vinyl ones that only got popular in the past decade or so. The graphic design also looks too modern, and one of the women has a belly piercing.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Sure, I only ever saw doctors using pagers till the early 90s. I got one around 1994, it was expensive enough like $400 and a monthly $40 fee for service fees. It was one you could call a number for and give your message to an operator who would type it out and send it. You needed a direct debit from your bank to set up the account.
I replaced it with a huge Nokia three years later. That cost about the same but voice call you made were also on the bill. Pay as You Go only came in a few years later. Amazing how cheap all that stuff, much improved, is now.

I wonder in wich area of Pattaya these pics were taking, that was during the Vietnam war and the only visitors were the American G.I.'s

Alright, but it will be interesting to see pictures of Pattaya between the 60s, 70s.
