I would love to have seen places like Pattaya then it must have been great. i don't think that your experience and knowledge would fit in a nut shell.
Would you consider writing something up about what life was like living for those 6 years in attaya at that time. I would be really interested, and I know that others would be as well.
It must make such a difference being able to speak the language.
Always on the look out for information and the recounting of experiences.
Where is home in the US?
Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Jackie
