Now I'm hearing it in my head. I loved that show.

Exactly same for me when I returned in early 2000. I was so disappointed what Pattaya turned into. I asked the driver, when I saw the Welcome to Pattaya sign, are you Shure this is Pattaya? Pattaya turned into a mini-Bangkok. I was so disappointed

My father was in the Marines @JUSMAG, he was a Capt, or Lt Col Robert Thompson. He received his Naval Cross at the Marine Corps anniversary in BBK, during that time. Do you remember him?

May I add for those who like to say bad about the topic of how I was a greater time back then. After I came to Thailand in the early 2000's, I moved here and lived for 20 years, married a Thai woman, I have been married to for over 11 years. We have 2 boys, I enjoyed my first 10-15 years living there, but became disillusioned with the congestions, bad elements in tourist, but I do not hate ever living there. I just remember how it used to be.

I was a 6th grader in 1969, our father worked at US Embassy in BKK, our whole family lived at the end of Sukumvit Soi 15. I lived across the street from an international school. i would go exploring all along the klong boats, enjoying many activities alone along Soi 15. It was a safer time then, now i would not let my children do what I could do safely then. One time we went to pattaya beach. It was such a cool place then, the beach was clean, water clear. We took a glass bottom boat ride out in Pattaya ocean about 1/4 mile out and saw all the way to the bottom of the ocean floor. There was no road or development on pratamnak hill. There was only one hotel that more than one floor. There was an outdoor movie screen that we watched a movie on. The tree in the middle of Beach Road. That was a special time and I recognize what the OP is saying. When I came back to Pattaya in the ealy 2000's, I was shocked at what a mess of buildings, small roads, traffic, the amount of people, especially the lack of infrastructure. Those were truly special times that I remember from Pattaya. It was a cool place, and clean water and beach.

You have to look at the list of countries that are affected to understand why. It is simple, so simple. If you look at the list it shows the affected countries are ones who USA deems dangerous or who they have a conflict with. As far as Thailand is concerned, both Cambodia and Thailand are on the list due to their conflict, which the USA has tried to help, but the conflict between countries continue. Stop the conflict off the list.

It is interesting that no one picked up on this. Remember a day or two ago, Thai patrols heard a communication, that ended in English. They saw persons on a hill, Once spotted, the suspects retreated. Then they grab a man from USA taking pictures of an airfield, Thai government has claimed that drones are being driven from subjects who control the drones on Thai soil. Very interesting, the government claimed at first that these were Russians, now you have a man from USA who is deleting photos, while hiding in a bathroom. I find that very interesting, would like to find out what his story is. (Secret OPS)

She is loosing the black vote. You getting your false info from CNN.

Let's not forget, the only reason Kamala got started in politics, is because she was sleeping with then Gov. Brown. He gave her the CA Attorney General job, gifted Then she got a Senate seat. We all know why she was selected as a running mate after Obama. She was ineffective as a Vice-President. She was nominated by the Democrat's without a vote in the primaries. Last night she had a left wing setup on left wing CNN, townhome meeting. She was given such soft ball simple questions. She could not answer any of the questions. Her answers, left you wondering, what the heck is she talking about. Again, she could not directly answer a question. Even CNN and the Donkeys are saying she looked bad. How can you loose a one on one debate, when every question, was approved before hand, yet she lost the debates. She is way worst President than Trump. Even the hardcore states that the donkeys have controlled, are loosing the black voters. I can't wait to see how the donkey's are going to fake the results, when this idiot, unqualified Vice President looses.

There goes the last of a true policeman who would go after criminals. I have made a few complains to Pattaya police. They were justifiable complaints. I was alway told "If you want them to do their job, I had to pay them money. All Thai police are corrupt, and refuse to do the job they are payed to reinforce. I once called about a Thia man chasing a girl out of a bar in the early morning 7 AM, when the Thia bar should have been closoed down. The police station hung up the phone, I called again and they hung up again. I guess Pattaya police do not care about a Thia man beating, pulling a woman by the hair down the street. It is worthless to call Pattaya police, they will not respond. I was tire of being told more than once to pay them to do thier job. My motorbike was hit from behind from a speeding driver. I asked to have them review the street cameras, they told me I had to pay. I'd rather stay away from these clowns in brown.

No country wants them. Law breakers, rude, abusive, what more you want?
