Does Patpong Nightlife Still Exist?
You can pull up an article called "Stick Returns Part 2: The Collapse (And Surely The End) Of Patpong" that he posted on May 21st, 2023. He covers it all, including all the permanent bar closures. He mentions: "Classic old spots like Le Bouchon are long gone, as are many hardcore mongers’ sneak-away spots like Kangaroo and The Star Of Light. Superstar, Madrid, Safari and a multitude of the King’s Group bars have all closed." Then he says: "Patpong feels sleazier than ever and it’s not the sex business that’s the problem. Many homeless are sleeping rough in the area and they are very visible. Some might say it gives the area character. I think it just makes it feel even more like a sh*thole." Even the Patpong Museum has shuttered! -

Crime Aussie Murder Suspect Dies in Phuket, Evading Justice Forever
Picture courtesy of The Daily Mail Kevin Steven Correll, long suspected of the 2001 murder of Sydney car saleswoman Rachelle Childs, has died under mysterious circumstances in Thailand, finally closing a decades-long pursuit of justice. Correll, aged 69, was discovered dead last week in Patong, Phuket, a resort town famed for raucous nightlife. Thai authorities have yet to determine the cause of death, but it marks an end to a case that troubled law enforcement for years. Childs, just 23 at the time of her death, was found in June 2001 in remote bushland near Gerroa, about 130 kilometres from Sydney. Her body was found naked and burnt, in what was believed to be an attempt to destroy evidence. Police have long suspected Correll as the perpetrator, although he was never charged. Pictures, of Kevin Steven Correll and Rachelle Childs, courtesy of The Daily Mail Frustratingly, the original investigation was riddled with errors. Crucial CCTV footage went missing, DNA evidence was mishandled, and potential witnesses were never interviewed. One particularly significant piece of evidence—a sighting of Childs’ car on the night of her murder—was only linked to Correll circumstantially. Correll's reputation was further tarnished by past allegations. In the 1980s, he faced multiple accusations of sexual assault, though none resulted in convictions. These allegations cast a long shadow over his public persona, yet legal proceedings never seemed to catch up to him. Throughout the years, Correll maintained his innocence. He claimed to have an alibi on the night of Childs' disappearance; however, this was never corroborated. At the time of his death, Correll was reportedly in a relationship with a Thai woman, though it’s unclear if she was with him during his Thai holiday. Correll's family, now receiving consular assistance from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, remains divided in their response. His estranged daughter, Jazz, declared: “I feel sad for his many victims,” capturing the sense of lost justice echoed by Childs' family. One relative expressed bluntly: “Not sorry he’s gone, just sorry that Rachelle’s family aren’t going to get the justice they so deserve.” This unresolved saga highlights persistent issues within law enforcement investigations during the early 2000s. Childs’ murder, a grim chapter in Australian criminal history, remains unsolved, and with Correll’s death, the chance for closure has vanished. The ripples of Correll's actions and accusations continue to be felt, yet the cold case remains just that—cold and unresolved. As the years pass, the story of Rachelle Childs leaves a haunting reminder of the justice system’s fallibility, and now the opportunity for any form of retribution is lost forever.

It's incredible how much money flows through Thai temples. First time I went I had my hand in my wallet every 5 minutes. Donate here, buy supplies there. Whenever I asked what the money was for, the reply was "for luckyyyyy". -
