Welcome to the forum Liquido.
It's a shame you never saw pattaya or patong back then as it would be very interesting to hear your reports on how much things have changed.
Those ''grass huts'' are now Mcdonald's , KFC's , Atm's etc..
Please feel free to share some stories on the board and post a new thread.
I would love to hear about your times in Bangkok just after the war , I'm assuming you know Patpong all too well..
With those kind of stories to tell you would be a great guy to be sitting with at a beer bar in patong as i'm sure other bm's would agree.
