Travel Thailand Haiku - Dont Turn The Buddha Into A Japanese



please dont turn the buddha
into a japanese
Thailand Japanese pop craze

I went to the Patpong area and was really taken aback by a few streets which reminded me of the days I was walking in Shinjuku's kabukicho in the 80s. The signboards and neons with Japanese signs were the same as those in Shinjuku. There were also outlets of famous Japanese restaurants one of which sold famous octopus
from osaka. i really do not like the lack of originality of the pop scene where everyone dresses up like a japanese. I really hope they dont make the buddha to look ljapanese too. Thais should opt for originality in all ways.
