Some photo ... some eyes ... some waist.

Yes. Sadly it is. It's possibly come to the end of its shelf life.
It's not a question of boards or once-favoured parts of Thailand "withering away." It's us ,the customers who are doing the withering, no longer able to travel here either through inconveniently dying or reaching that stage of decrepitude that makes long journeys impossible. Our places are gleefully taken by Chinese tourists who dominate the Terminus 21 area, or Indian men (can someone tell me where their women-folk are? ) in South Pattaya. Last night we travelled from dinner in the aforementioned mall through South Pattaya to collect our Jomtien bus; hardly a European falang to be seen. No, that's not entirely fair; the traditional model off be-shorted, overweight Britons were still in the straight bars, even if (and this was my impression as the bus sped by), they were more interested in the football on the big screens than the bar-girls. Understandably so IMHO.
I have previously suggested that it won't be long before the Boyztown sign is pulled down; the final curtain on a glorious (if sometimes seedy) epoch.
And the forums are casualties of the same process.
By the way; P and I are having a great time and have already booked a trip for January. Despite the Brexit pound. Sanuk is still available if you know where to seek it.

Trying to find a photo which ~ at the time, and still ~ made my legs go to mush ... i.e. a face/smile for the ages.
Taken at Patong in 2001. He was 31 then and at honeymoon.

That's it for me.
Thais are humans, you idiot. They smile just like everyone else.
I get a laugh out of how some / many on this forum view Thais as some alian sub-spiecies that needs to be observed.
Cute boy waiting for bus. Quiz: Where was this picture taken? (Yes, there is a hint that advanced travelers will recognize.)
