I love old Bangkok especially during the Vietnam War era. The mind wanders thinking what it must have been like. Its just a pity there is not much to see nowadays apart from a couple of hotels and the Madrid Bar in PatPong

^I went to a couple of the old bars in Nakhon Phanom, that backed onto the Mekong, there are pictures of GIs from that era on the walls, many cavorting with local women. One place hadn't even changed a lot. Some of the same furniture and layout.

In the old days those weren't gogo bars, just bars where a lot of young local women just happened to 'hang out'...so to speak

Thats what the Madrid Bar in Patpong is like. Old fading photos on the walls of laughing GIs and local women and the bar looked exactly the same in the snap shots. The bar staff were old as well so i wouldn't be surprised if they were the young things draped over the grinning yanks in the photos. There was another photo of Bob Hope standing at the bar talking to a white man and Thai woman. Very interesting at the same time pretty surreal as well.
