[Patpong]

I remember Patpong in 1970.  Dead as a dodo now compared to then.  The ones in the know had their own private hang out in one of the bars between Soi 20 and 22.  Although that is all gone now.  There was a real understanding between falang and Thai in those days.

I canot disagree with that, Just never hit Pat Pong (that I knew of) until 1972. My first trip to Thailand was Dec 1968 - R&R from Vietnam, they turned us all loose with a backpack full of money and I don't remember much about that 7 days, I don't know where I was, but stayed in The Honey Hotel.    I remember the Thai Heaven Massage, thats it!!  It was an alcohol fueled week.  but once I got assigned in 1971, I did visit Patpong, and Old & New Sukumvit - Patpong bars I remember were Crown Royal, Mississippi Queen, both old Agency Spook haunts.........a quick search show a bit of history:   https://www.patpongmuseum.com/red-light-district/

What I remember the most ws everything was behind closed doors, not like the past 20-30 years...............>Peace

 

Dang I am old.  I can now look at my life in a museum.  Wow!!!

My association with Thailand is pre-Rooster, US Army 1971 - talk about draconian, they would pull out the pages in our Playboy magazine at the airport, you never saw an advert for cigarrettes, but Mekong whiskey(?) was okay, never a billboard advert for womans under garments or swim suits - even the Coppertone girl with the puppy pulling down her bathing suit had a big Star on her backside.  No women in sports, politics, professional careers, never saw a woman Doctor, plenty of Nurses (Philipino), lady boys were few and far between, they kept to thenselves. Guess I am saying, "Thailand, you've come a long way baby"  Okay I resemble a rambling rooster -  enough already.............Peace

Funny though because in 1970 when I first arrived Patpong Rd had been in full swing for quite some time.

Guys think Viagra is some magical drug that will enhance pleasure, make you last longer, etc. Reality is that you only need it when you get older and there is a hot girl in front of you and you still can't get it up!

Yup, My ex Thai wife was fond of wearing her gold in public. She was sat on a bus ( in England ) going to work when as she got off at her stop ,  the young bloke behind her grabbed her 2 baht chain and legged it. 

 

Talk about gutted....she cried for a week. I had warned her frequently about this but she had to learn the hard way.

Wrong.  This is a modern misconception.  POHM was written on the backs of the shirts that the original prisoners wore. The ships only bought prisoners and screws in the beginning.

Strange because it is actually spelt "pohm", for Prisoner Of Her Majesty."

 

I have fond memories of a sleazy bunch of bars between soi 20 and 22 with pool tables and cheap booze but that was the early 70's. It was opposite that hotel (was it called the Windsor, I can't remember) where all the septic non-coms etc... were put up.

So many children, as well as adults are murdered by these dogs in every country every year.  
In this instance I agree with genocide both for the breed of dog and breed of owner.

It is beyond my ken to understand the thinking that goes with this type of dog.  All I can think of is that it is some sort of weakness or inferiority complex.  Definitely a need to dominate others regardless of the consequences.  Jai dum.

Drinking and playing loud music at 3am is a pretty foolish thing to do. In Britain it wouldn't get you murdered, but it would get you but in hospital if you woke the wrong guy up. 

I cannot count how many times I have been with locals at all hours of the night with loud music playing and drunken souls everywhere.
