130429 Ruam Chit Chai where are you?

Former Army personnel stationed at Camp Ruam Chit Chai have attempted to find it on Google earth.
No Success so far.
The camp was in Sakon Nakhon province, 50 km from Nakhon Phanom. Distance incorrect read comments why

Apparently the camp was only in existence from 1966 to 1971.
The occupants were  the 809th Engineer Battalion. The battalion was deactivated February 3, 1971
In 1968 the authorized strength was 905.
The battalion had done extensive construction projects throughout Thailand, including the capital.

A few interesting headlines about the company




Military com exerb: 
"In August(1966), the main portion of Company C was moved to Sakhon Nakhon where it built a troop cantonment area, a Special Forces camp, and a POL tank farm at Nakhom Phanom (NKP)"

Few pictures seem to indicate it was typical barracks of the day, wooden huts most likely dismantled by locals for the lumber.
