    AT LONG LAST

    It has been over twenty years, but I am finally coming back to Thailand in April. I might try to make a quick run to Angkor Wat. In the august opinions of the board members, what will be the biggest changes in Bangkok and Pattaya? I still can not believe a subway was built with the high water table.

    By the way, I got a Delta fare for under $1000 US from the East Coast.

    Not many left standing, who remember late 1980's and early 1990's.
    No doubt, most everything changed. Look forward to your thoughts
    next April. You do remember, April is the hottest, most humid month.

    If it was over 20 years ago since you were last in Bangkok, then I am assuming the Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS) or Skytrain (r├│t-fai-f├бa) will be new to you. I find that itтАЩs a great way of getting around Bangkok, especially during тАШrush hoursтАЩ, and thus avoiding the misery of being stuck in traffic jams. I wish London had such a system as I much prefer to travel over-ground than being on the London Underground system. Of course, as you mentioned, Dalewood, Bangkok also has a subway or underground system called the MRT (r├│t-fai-f├бa-dt├вai-din) which serves many areas not covered by the Skytrain.

    Hope you have a great time in April, but if arriving during the Thai New Year celebrations (s┼Пng-graan) be prepared to be soaked!

    MRT, BTS, Suvarnabhumi Airport, new motorways, high rise condos and hotels, shopping malls both low end and high end, family marts and 7-11's. Pattaya the same but without the mass transit. The baht bus is still 10 baht. Did I mention the Russians?

    Not to mention 1500 - 2000 baht for short time in Soi Twilight plus 500 or 600 baht off fees ! I'm guessing you'll be wishing it was 20 years ago again on your return, looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

    Now you are taking things too f├бa. It is just a r├│t-fai-dt├вai-din.

    On that basis, it can only be a matter of another year or two before scottish-guy is also a virgin once more.
