All the way back to 2012? My first trip was there in 2004.  I thought the entire city was great and just the right size for me.  I can't think of any changes since then that I care for.  The hatchet chop job on all the trees along beach road is just sinful.  remember there used to be a few metal benches one could stop and sit on.  There were flower beds.  There was the wrap around walkway at the north end of the beach you could walk to Naklua.  Never mind the shops that used to burn CDs from your digital camera.  I am not getting into the technological changes over the years.  But way too much internet has not helped.

Since then, I think the Railway Line Bypass Rd, The underpass and motorway all improved things.  Walking St was pretty good back then, nowadays not for me.

I miss the signs jutting out.

If you want your illusions shattered, take a stroll down Walking Street in the daylight.

My first trip was 1980 on my way to the Macau GP, stayed at the Royal Cliff Hotel. Exciting times.
