| Toy boy outside one of the temples in Bangkok |
I was so glad to have left the madness and chaos behind which had surrounded me for the past ten months in India. I landed at Bangkok airport with a smile on my face, knowing well that I was free from the shackles of Indian life. I found a room in a hotel near the city centre where I was able to receive my phone calls from England; what a joy it was to hear a familiar voice over the phone in English after ten months!!
The hotel I stayed in was always full of beautiful Thai ladies to be picked for an evening out and I was luck enough to be picked up outside my hotel, by my very own toy boy ( his name was Toy) who reassured me that I needed protection from bad men visiting my hotel. I believed him. He was true to his word and guided me through the streets of Bangkok and always left me outside my hotel door without payment of any sort. I wondered what were his motives for his generosity, his English was not good enough for me to question him.
Bangkok is the city of holy shrines ( including now,one for David Beckham) and also has colourful markets on land and by the river bank. It also has huge sex industry of all shapes and sizes and people from all over the world use the industry for their own pleasure!!
The city was certainly different from anything I had experienced in India and my life started to look good, for how long I wondered?
