Bangkok Dangerous

So I thought it was funny in the Bangkok airport. There were some police dogs and their handlers and they were all sound asleep.

In Bangkok, especially the airport you notice a lot of sex-tourists. For me, I think it is kind of creepy.

They are easy to spot since their girls come with them to see them off. They are white men (usually but not always) older with a younger girl who is from the countryside. In the city and the airport, I saw a lot of foreigners who looked like they basically had adopted the family of their Thai girlfriend.

I recall one dude in particular who was eating near me in a restaurant. He looked to be a mid 40’s to early 50’s American or Canadian. He was with a girl that was much so younger (could have been a daughter) I at first could not pick out just who he was there with. But he was also there with the girl’s whole family—mom, dad, brothers, etc and it was obvious he spoke no Thai and they spoke no English (the dad didn’t look too happy). Very strange situation.
