Great video. It reminded me of a time when I was stationed in Okinawa and took a vacation to Thailand in 1974. I met a beautiful thai lady in a bar in Bangkok and we spent 2 glorious weeks together in Bangkok and Pattaya. Mukda reminded me of my beautiful thai lady I met and I wonder what ever became of her. After retiring in 2009 in the U.S. I came back to Thailand and married a wonderful thai lady with a heart of gold and a beautiful daughter who I saw grow up and blossom into a very intelligent and vibrant young lady. I am truly Blessed to have them in my life as I am living out the last chapters of my life in a country I love.

In the early 80's in Soi Cowboy there where many bars but most were just bars, but only 1 or 2 gogo bars. In the 80's in the bars we were the customer, and the girls were there to take care of the customer. Come the mid 90's the attitude changed and we were there to take care of them.
