When I was last in Sunee, in June, I was talking to Mama Pay at the Sunee Plaza Bar (plastic chairs). She was complaining that Sunee was bereft of gay farang and that many had, in recent years, left for Cambodia and Vietnam. But, where would they go? Surely Siem Reap and Phnom Penh isn't a patch on Pattaya in terms of 'available' company? I've never been to Cambodia but I think I may when I visit Thailand in a few weeks from now. My main concern, however, is the lack of excellent health care clinics/hospitals (so I am informed).
Vietnam? Where on earth would equate with the 'scene' that exists in Pattaya? Is there some beach equivalent to Pattaya that I've missed?
I flew into Saigon fifteen years ago and flew out again the next day. Pavements were awash with rats and scores of rickshaw drivers followed me around shouting, "Hey, Johnny!" and irritating the hell out of me.
Kate Melua was certain there were nine million bicycles in Beijing but I'm sure there were as many, if not more, in Ho Chi Minh City! I guess it's all changed: I should go back.
