I picked up some matchbooks from the Kon Tiki Ports in Boston.

The matchbooks advertise four "Ports", the usual Papeete, Saigon, and Macao. They also include a new one that was not at the Chicago or Dallas locations -

The Bangkok.

I still have found no photographic evidence from this place. It is odd that they used the Kon Tiki Ports logo like Chicago but also had the Kon Tiki logo from Hawaii.

I wonder if the restaurant morphed from the ports concept to the Kon Tiki concept. It would seem so if you read the clip posted by Abstractiki.

Here is the back of the matchbooks.

What's weird about this is the one on the left would seem to be older as it does not include the newer Crane restaurants called the Californian and the 9000, but it includes the Kon Tiki in Waikiki. The one on the right does not have the Waikiki location listed... did it close before the others?

This location is still a bit of a mystery, someone has to have some photos or postcards or something.....
