I remember that the taxi-drivers and touts were absent (banned) at New Delhi airport recently and they are certainly not allowed to hustle for fares at Bangkok either. It made for a much more pleasant experience, I think for everybody. I hope they pass this law here. I think it’s a good idea.

You have successfully captured (a whiff of) those historical horrors, more than enough to bring to mind the darkest histories of these places when we are in PP. Your description of the current situation in respect of the location of PJ was especially interesting for me as I used to visit a friend in a far away prison back in Sydney-it was a punishment for her friends and family as well. Was the last sentence in your article meant to be sardonic/ironic? Stomach-wrenching stuff;well researched and grippingly written Dermot.
