A part of me misses the dirty old Don Muang.

It's the Thai songs that get me. I can never remember the names though. Think one of them had a squeezebox in it.. love those Issan guitars and high pitched voices as well.

Not that it is a favorite song of mine but “Hello” by Lionel Richie brings back memories of sweaty sheets and stained mattresses.
1984 in Phuket, Soi Bang La was still a dirt track and aids was just a myth...
There was also a Thai pop song of the time...
Ka yep, ka yep, ka yep, khao ma see,...ka say, ka say, khao ma see.
Don't know what that means (I should be ashamed of myself for not indulging in more of the language) but it was popular at the time and I would join in a rendition speeding along on my Honda MTX 125...
I miss those times...
