Bangkok Then And Now (1984-2011)

[Bobcock]

Firstly I have to stress, these are not my pics, I did not take any of them.

I've mentioned my colleague Grumpy Bill before, these are his and as a long time TD lurker he is happy to share them with you. The first pictures are taken in 1984. Last weekend he went out and tried to take a picture from the same spot. I have deduced from looking at these pics that Bill is a foot shorter now that he was then.

The first picture is a legendary building.... Kanit House, home to Charles Sobhraj. It has now been demolished. We know he lived on the top floor and had two adjacent apartments.
