What I noticed on my first trip to Thailand, about 14 years ago, was that all the girls, at least in the places I went, wore really bad panties...like almost granny style, nothing even remotely sexy. Back then, it was so much different than it is now, I guess the girls came in from the village and just kind of went with the flow. Sure, they learned tips from their coworkers and what not, but this was basically pre-internet for most people. I remember being on Ko Samui and pretty much as soon as you left the green mango area it was dirt roads. I went back a few years later and everything was paved, a few years later, and there are resort hotels everywhere. It's still great, just different, but it would be nice to find a place nowadays that has that same feel....anyone have any tips?
