Bong origin and history

The word bong is an adaptation of Thai word baung, meaning a cylindrical wooden tube, pipe, or container cut from bamboo stem. The Thai word passed into the English language during the Vietnam War when five American military bases were located in Thailand. Soldiers used to pick up habbits from villagers including smoking cannabis in a Thai kind of pipe called baung. Marijuana was present and used openly in Thailand before the arrival of the Americans. Later the word baung was transformed into bong and brought back to America with troops. One of the earliest recorded uses of the word bong dates to a piece in the January 1971 issue of the Marijuana Review, which said: "Many thanks to Scott Bennett.. for the beautiful special bong he made for my pipe collection." Lovely story to impress a fellow stoner, isn't it ?! Well these days glass bongs are the most popular among us stoners, although bamboo bongs have their nature loving fans too :-)
