Bangkok Nightlife and Thailand in the 80's: It Will Never be the Same Again!

[@johnpatterson6448]

I live in CM. I usually avoid this sort of video but Karl is a lovely guy and a neat storyteller. Most importantly, he reminisces about Thailand in the 80s without putting down Thailand today which - let’s face it - is all we’ve got. Still a great place with wonderful people.

[@karlsthailand]

That’s a great way of putting it John, the Thailand of today is all that we’ve got and I still enjoy exploring it to this day. Cheers

[@Buggsy61]

Only just stumbled onto this channel and so enjoying the last 3 videos as my own first trip was early 90 at about the same age (I am 56 now). Brings back so much memories of amazing times and the truly wonderful girls I met back then. Its hard to explain unless you experienced it, but my god I am glad I did.

[@karlsthailand]

Those times certainly seemed a lot more innocent and were definitely less complicated in many ways. Glad the videos brought it back for you

[@postiekeefveness4415]

Thoroughly enjoyed this one, as usual.

[@karlsthailand]

Thanks, at least 4 more to come

[@nomadicsoul34]

Having travelled all over the world as a young back packer for several years I came to the conclusion that the thing that sets Thailand apart is the ability to mix with the locals . Its possible elsewhere but not like it is in Thailand .

[@karlsthailand]

Yes, Thai culture is very unique, I can have the most incredible times here and some very frustrating times too but it's never boring. And the locals are indeed very sociable, sometimes too much for me lol.

Wonderful reminiscents Karl! Brings back memories from my second trip to Thailand in 1981. Spent two months of my overland route in Thailand going to a lot of the same places, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai for hiking in the Golden Triangle and staying with various hill tribes. Spent two weeks on Ko Samui as well, similar accommodations to yours but no electricity let alone AC back then. I remember every night the heat lightning would light up the sky. Thanks for putting this and the prior one together.

[@karlsthailand]

Cheers Jim, there’s no going back to those times and we were fortunate to have experienced what we did. We had to make the effort though so probably deserve our memories
