There's something very 60's about that photo. The color, the slimness of the gal (humans look different these days from all the growth hormones in the animals we eat), the clothes, etc.

Many Thai natives are slightly built like this. It may in fact be due to diet -- if they didn't grow up in a city like Bangkok, the only meat they probably ate was locally grown without such treatment, and a significant fraction of the population is vegetarian anyway.

There must be a story in that.

Well, as a non-native speaker I do not even understand it. But maybe those who made up that name were non-natives too... or they are nick-names...

Hard to tell. Could be a PacMan wristwatch.... I used to have one of those.

I knew someone who had a "Black Watch" that looked a good bit like that in 1977. One of the early LED display quartz models; would run about six months on a battery, maybe a year if you disabled the motion sensor. Watches that shape have been around longer than Fats & Angry.

The watch is probably a Casio G Shock variant.

I am lip reading what the girl in the background is saying, and I'm pretty sure she is saying "OMG can you believe it is 2020?!"

Not the cloth nor the girl.

Minolta Hi-Matic or Minolta Hi-Matic E, awesome! I think that’s probably the correct guess. I don’t think it looks like an Olympus RF much, but possible.
Cool! Thank you, everyone!

I think it would still be appropriate to say where the photo came from.

Because as photographers, we should be extra conscious of giving other photographers credit when republishing or reusing their work.
