Bangkok I have just got back from Bankok myself. And like you i found the beggers unbeleaveable they made the begger here in New Zealand look so normal and lucky. To this day i still have nightmares about them and their sad faces and deformed limbs. I was actually told that the reason they have missing limbs is because in bangkok if you are caught stealing they then take off a limb as punishment. Im not sure if this is true. i dont think that i would ever go back to bangkok because it was just to sad. BUt i hope you enjoyed your time. :)
