I was brought up in Hong Kong, and a visit to Thailand, back in the
80's was effortless and low-priced to do. I have fond memories of such
days.
We could easily jump on a flight on Friday night and return late on Sunday evening. It was just 2 hours from Hong Kong to the Thai capital, and another 1 to 2 hours, depending on the beach we chose.
Even Bangkok was a delight. The excitement of the rowdy city and its incredible markets made such a change from polluted.
The world was our shell back then. Even as youngsters still taking our A levels, we could raise enough money for the very low-priced fares to Thailand. We clustered a group of friends together and blasted away to Thailand for a weekend.
In the 80’s, the majority of Europe and America had a harder time to travel to Thailand. Non-stop air travel from those places were still not availab
le.
Therefore, we had beaches of Thailand alone. Lying on the white, thin sand, our 48 hours in paradise were passed executing little more than sleep and a few dips in the emerald green water.
My friend travelled in Phi Phi in 2004 when the tsunami hit. My friend kept in mind small episodes of that horrible event. But my friend does remember how the wonderful people did everything to aid everyone they could. The people of Thailand who were left without even a home standing, offered all they had to the confused visitors.
It says everything about the people. This says all you need to know about the country. It is, nonetheless, magnificent in our world, in the face of the God’s attempt to tear it down.
