Another excellent one Nazeem Bhai and lived the three part series.
I have to confess my ignorance about history of Thailand in general, but this one gave a different context. Very difficult to imagine Pattaya as a sleepy fishing village, having seen it as a Flesh Pot LOL
Thank you, Srinivas ji, it means a great deal that you stayed for all three.
The flesh pot made me smile, because that's exactly the sleight of hand the essay is chasing. A man can stand on Walking Street and never guess that the same concrete once waited for B-52s, or that the woman beside him came down the very road the Americans built. The present lies over the past so neatly you'd never know they shared an address.
