Thanks for the feedback. I am not sure if the novel will ever see the light of day! I will dig around and see what else I have in terms of Khao San Road. It had an influence on my early days here and I still have the vivid memories although it has changed a lot now. I also have a lot more characters from those days. An earlier story – Jesus, was from that time too and I have Ghurka, the Olympian, A Man called Cake and probably a few others that fully or partially feature the road in that era. As for description of the road then, it is a good idea to build it and actually quite easy for me, so thanks for the suggestion.

Were it to be a novel, I’d want more local color description and background on what Khao San Road was in the “good old days”. I have never set foot there, so can only guess. The characters are interesting and appealing in their own unique way.

Thanks for the feedback and I am happy you enjoyed it!

It is funny when reading comments, how you react to them. This one got me thinking of a bunch of other characters and stories in a somewhat poignant way. Some of those I have written about with a few published and a bunch not published. Others remain to be written about, but maybe the ones most interesting are the ones that I would not write about either in a memoir or fictional rendition. memories.

You are never really sure of what people tell about their past. But once again thanks for the feedback and also for getting me thinking about other times and people.

If Bernard’s military credentials were valid, of which I get the impression that they weren’t,the Veterans Administration could help him get sorted out.However interesting men don’t usually do well in their own home lands.Bernard, being a unique man in spite of his methods ,has no resume’.But I would value his acquaintance but I would be hesitant of affiliation .
Thanks again for a good story .
