My Introduction Video about the time I traveled in 1990 +
Welcome to this older version of websites today this site has so much of memories
the true backpacking era of the time I spent from late 1989 through the 90’s to the mid 2026.
Why was it different than now well overtime many establishments open and close one that I loved so much was a restaurant in central Bangkok set on 10 Aches then it was set on river and had 250 professional chefs 3000 seats and the waitress and waiters delivered food on roller skates
The famous “TUMNAK THAI “
Another great time was walking the backpacking area in 1989 pure travellers rough existence snakes hanging on the roadside of Kao San Road ready the take a sip of this that warmed my tummy the loud music the chats from travellers about where they had been and are going, tips and pictures hay no mobile or laptops it wasn’t thought of such a great era.
Announced as it was boarding a flight to Vietnam the first plane from Thai Airways
About to leave the following day hay hear me out on this CNN reported it as I sat in the Sweaty Guest House and yes I had made my mind up and a German friend of mine and I were on the first flight in reported there were only 15 tourists and the rest of the passengers were Thai businessmen.
Hay when you have left your home country and getting in touch with family was locating a phone box that
Had SDC calls available and a stack of coins ready to pump into the box just to say about your experience so far to your parents and family.
What Do I remember well it’s all videoed in my memories the things I saw
Never to be as it wasn’t thought true Saigon just local people with ladies who dressed in the traditional etire of Ay O Dye.
