Maybe if you stayed somewhere other than Khaosan or lower Sukhumvit you wouldn't have such a jaded view on Bangkok, and Thailand. Ya there are a lot of tourist dickheads but it is very easy to avoid them (as you said Bangkok is a massive city). I am sure there are some young girls working in the sex trade but you definitely do not see 13-14 year old girls walking with old men in the middle of Bangkok, maybe in Cambodia. Did you maybe happen to travel there in the 1970s or is this a more recent trip?
