Words by Salina Christmas

After two days of being hassled by tuk tuk drivers, cabbies, hustlers, pimps, go go dancers, peddlars, khlong boatmen and hawkers, we started to wonder: Surely there must be something about the Bangkok natives that is worth respecting?

Yes, there is. All of the PR damages that are done by Patpong to Thai tourism could possibly be undone by the muay thai or Thai Boxing at the Lumpinee Stadium.
