I’ve been a regular visitor to the land of smiles since 1988. If things were better in the old days? One thing for sure, I was thirty years younger and with much more stamina.
I still remember my very first visit to Bangkok. After having studied the Spartacus guide I told the taxi driver to take me to where all the action is. As soon as I got out of the taxi I was approached by a youngster who wanted to take me to a bar called The Toilet. Not being familiar with Thai lingo it took me a while to realise what he actually was saying.
And now I hear, the whole toilet is going down the drain.
