Things That Have Disappeared Or Are Now Very Rare...

VD clinics…… before the days of the dreaded HIV, there were many clinics with the largest VD signs adorning them.

Oh, so true.

From Nana to Soi 19 on Sukhumvit masses of VD clinics, with, as you say, the largest VD signs in the world.

Talking of signs.....why did they ever take down the giant lips and finger neon sign that was on Sukhumvit? It was an icon.

Off topic, we used to call VD Val Doonigan (spelling???) . A bit of nostalgia for the Brits and Irish out there. He used to have a personalised number plate '1 VD'.

Another one from up country.

My wife tells me all the klongs in our village used to be crystal clear and kids could swim in them. Now they are full of silt and the colour of cafe au lait because of the deforestation in the neigbouring hills.

The silt also builds up on the bottom so in the wet they overflow and flood everyones homes.

Sad really.

I can sit on my porch any night and see the slash and burning going on in the hills and no one does anything to stop it.....

Stupid crap that that shouldn't happen in this day and age.

Sorry, getting off topic.

Really pisses me of though.
