Is This Bad Luck or What

[jai-dee]

It is my first visit to LOS. True, I've been in Thailand before,

but that was different, then I was travelling with my wife and

I was utterly unaware of the sanuk scene in Thailand. This

time I'm alone, and I'm well prepared, thanks to many of you guys,

your posts and your web sites.

I know exactly where to go for sanuk, I know which hotels

are visitor-friendly, I know how the bars work, I know the prevailing

price ranges. I can say I've done my homework. I will only be in

Bangkok for two days and I can't afford to waste time. Less than an

hour after my plane touches down at Don Muang I'm in my hotel off

Thanon Sukhumvit. I can't wait for the nightfall to go out and

turn my theoretical knowledge into practical experience.

I've decided to concentrate on Nana Plaza. If time permits I

might check other nearby areas, but I'm going to give Patpong a

miss. I show up at Nana too early and I decide to take a stroll

down to Clinton Plaza and return a little later. A quick look

there is all I have in mind, I'm determined to go back to Nana.

Well as you all know plans exist mainly so they can be broken,

and mine is no exception. The girls guarding the entrance to

the second bar at Clinton notice an obvious target (middle aged

farang, wandering alone, looking somewhat uneasy) and promptly

attack me. They physically drag me inside. All right, I could

use all my force and escape their hands, but what the hell

I think, I'll just have a quick look, maybe even a drink, and

then go back to Nana.

One of the girls, she happens to wear #1, is very posessive and

immediately starts to treat me as her property. It is still very

early and I'm the only guest in the bar. Within minutes, what am

I saying, within seconds my resolve evaporates. A dozen beautiful

young girls are dancing in front of me, just for me. Most are in

their bikinis, two are topless. One of the girls completely

undresses and changes into her "uniform" right there in the middle

of the bar. Several others are trying to get my attention by

parading in front of me.

They are showing off their young bodies, inviting me to touch

their soft smooth skin, checking the situation between my legs

with their hands. These girls are certainly not shy. My excitement

is growing by the second. Number 1 is rather posessive, she shoos

other girls away and hugs me as if she is deeply in love with me.

How can I get up and walk out?

Instead I order a drink for myself and one for #1. Soon the

mamasan joins us. I vividly remember the advice from experts on

the web: establish a good relationship with the mamasan and

everything will be fine. So I buy her a drink too. She in turn

keeps on chatting with me which I find rather annoying as I would

rather concentrate on the sexy girls who are offering themselves.

#1 is sitting on my right, she already considers me a sure catch.

I remember another rule I learned on the web: when you're with

one girl, keep your hands off others or she may get nasty. Well

this is easier said than done. Whenever #1 looks away I flirt

with whichever girl is sitting on my left. #14 is the most

aggressive, she openly guides my hand to her crotch.

Contrary to what my research suggests there are several stunners

in the bar and my eyes are popping out. #1 is a petite Isaan girl.

She is not nearly the best looking girl in the bar but I kind of

like her. She seems very keen on me. In the months prior to my trip

I went through the trouble of learning about a hundred Thai words.

Her English is very limited and she appreciates my afforts at

speaking Thai. The small talk reveals what her name is, how old

she is (25), how long she's been working in the bar (about 1 month,

the usual answer most of them seem to give).

With the combined persuasion from mamasan and #1 it doesn't take

long before I agree to barfine her. Mamasan announces this to

everybody and all the girls cheer and congratulate #1 and seem

genuinely pleased. My limited knowledge of Thai doesn't allow

me to figure out if this is because it is the first barfine of

the evening, #1's first barfine altogether or something else.

I pay my checkbin, tip the mamasan, #1 changes into her street

clothes and off we go, just as some more farangs start coming in.

As it is still rather early (just past 8 o'clock) I suggest we

grab something to eat. Being unfamiliar with the restaurant

scene in the area I let her decide where to go and she leads me

to a restaurant serving farang food on Soi 4. I must admit

I'm slightly uncomfortable, as she is all over me when we walk in

the street and when we sit in the restaurant. She is hanging onto me

as if she is deeply and madly in love with me. I don't mind

expressions of affection in the public, but we both know it's

all fake, so why bother. But she won't let go, she clutches my

hand as if she is afraid she is going to lose me in the crowd.

Not surprisingly, she doesn't like her food and leaves most of

it on the plate. Why then didn't she take me to a Thai restaurant,

I made it clear that I like Thai food. I ask her if she likes

dancing. Sure she does, we head across the street to Nana Disco.

But it's too early, the disco is empty and we head back to my

hotel.

My excitement is building up. Here I am, with a pretty and

willing Thai girl, who is going to be mine all night. She has

lovely soft and smooth skin, she seems to be quite hot and

passionate, she likes kissing. A night in paradise is coming

my way. We get to my room and I start undressing her slowly.

At which point she says, sort of by the way: "I have men, soly,

no boom-boom." What???! She has a period and she tells me now,

after I've spent 1500 baht on her? She has this sincere sorry

look on her face and she pulls down her panties to reveal the

tampon.

I'm extremely disappointed. I think it's just not fair. She

could have told me before, she shouldn't have let me barfine her.

I keep my cool, I don't get angry or excited, I know this won't

get me anywhere. But I'm deeply disappointed and tell her I'm

going back to the bar to complain.

OK, maybe it was my fault. I should have asked. But seriously,

am I expected to ask every BG I barfine if she just happens to be

menstruating? Predictably she is not very keen on going back to

the bar and tries everything to change my mind. But I feel cheated

and I'm determined to have my boom-boom tonight. I know she is

going to lose face if I bring her back to the bar but right now

I don't care. I have only two days in Bangkok and I intend to

utilise them to the full extent.

She reluctantly follows me to the bar. I'm not really sure what

I'm going to say. I sort of expect to be able to swap her for

another girl. The mamasan is very understanding, she seems to

sympathise with me and expresses her regret a dozen times. But

unfortunately there is nothing she can do.

Then I think of a way out. I suggest I barfine another girl,

that should solve my problem. Predictably, mamasan thinks

this is a great idea. Although there are even more beautiful

girls there, I pick #14, because I know she is interested in me.

She is taller than most girls, and while her face is not really

lovely she has a very sexy body and seems very naughty. I decide to

take #1 along too. I still rather like her in spite of everything,

and this way she won't really lose face as I'm not going to dump

her. My complaint was only heard by the mamasan and hopefully the

other girls would never know what the real story was. Following my

homework, I verify that the two girls are compatible. They both

enthusiastically say yes and mamasan agrees too. Well then, the

situation is looking promising again, I pay the second barfine.

This time we go straight to my hotel. The young guy in the

reception keeps his cool. I can tell he is a bit perplexed but

he never even blinks. First he ID's one girl, 15 minutes later she

leaves, 30 minutes later I return with 2 girls. Obviously he's seen

all this before.

#14's English is even worse then #1's. The only conversation I

have with her was to find out her name, age and the fact that she

is half Japanese. Once in my room I persuade her to go in the

shower with me. I have a great excuse, two days before I left

home I badly injured my middle finger on my right hand. The

finger is bandaged and should be kept dry, therefore I need

assistance with showering. She readily joins me in the shower

and washes my body.

After that we go back to the bedroom for some chasing around the

bed. #14 and I are naked, #1 is in her panties and seems quite

eager to please as if she feels somewhat guilty. Very nice of her,

but right now I'm more interested in #14's body. But whenever I

try to touch her between the legs she pushes me away. What is

going on? She knows perfectly well why she is here, I want

boom-boom and nothing sort of it will satisfy me. I just want to make

sure I'll be getting that but she won't let me touch her pussy.

Something doesn't seem quite right. A disturbing thought enters my

mind. No, that's not possible, and I quickly dismiss it.

Suddenly she becomes very agitated and starts yelling: "I don't

lie, I never lie!" She produces a 1000 baht note from her purse

and waves with it in the air. I don't understand what she is

saying. It doesn't make any sense. I hardly even talked to her

before, cetainly never discussed money or lying. I turn to #1

whose English is slightly more usable, but she just shakes her

head and says something to the extent that #14 is a bit crazy.

#14 then quickly dresses up and storms out. #1 starts dressing

up too. I tell her:

"No you're not going anywhere."

She answers: "But no boom-boom?"

"OK, no boom-boom, just stay with me."

I can't bear the thought of both of them leaving me. She somewhat

reluctantly agrees to stay. #14 is waiting outside the door,

#1 quickly confers with her and decides to leave anyway. I

remember the guy at the reception and I regret that I can't

observe his reaction now.

The bottom line is I spent 2000 baht and the better part of the

evening and got essentially nothing. The 2 girls got 0 baht from

me. I swear I haven't got the slightest idea what #14's outburst

was about. Where did I go wrong? I can't think of anything that

I said or did that could have provoked it. After all this I'm just

too tired and really don't feel like going to the bar for the third

time, or even starting all over somewhere else, and I spend the night

alone. Just before I fall asleep I realise with horror what I have

just done: I barfined the first BG I met. And the second.

The following day is my lucky day, and I find my tee-rak. But

this is already Another Story.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Quite unexpectedly I return to Bangkok 2 weeks later. This time

I'm not feeling well at all, digestion problems have drained me

of all energy, including sexual energy. For 5 days I spend up to 20

hours a day lying in bed in my hotel room. What a waste. Every

evening I gather enough strength to go out for a short while.

The first night I start walking towards Soi Cowboy. Before I ever

get there I meet this freelancer standing in front of Robinson's.

She seems kind of smarter than an average BG, and although her

English leaves much to be desired we use her little dictionary

to enhance our communication. She claims to be a student. She

looks nice enough, I ask her if she would like to go with me and

she agrees. It's early, I'm hungry and I suggest we have dinner

first. Once again I make the mistake of letting her choose a

restaurant. She picks an Italian restaurant across the road,

which is fine with me, I'm pretty flexible when it comes to food.

I find the food quite tasty in spite of the turbulent state of

my digestive tract. She on the other hand leaves most of her

meal on the plate. Why in the world then did she pick an Italian

restaurant when she doesn't like Italian food. Then it's time

for business and we go to my hotel room. I'm looking forward to

an exciting night with my first freelancer. She's cost me 800 baht

so far (that restaurant was expensive) but at least there was no

bar fine to pay.

Once in my room she kindly informs me that she can only do a

very quick ST. What???! That's not what I want or expect, I'd

like her to stay LT. "Sorry, but I have an appointment with

another farang in half an hour, he promised me 1500 baht".

What the ...? Now she tells me, after we spent 2 hours dining.

She doesn't know what I was going to pay her, we haven't

discussed the financials. What a character, she is here with me

in my room yet she chooses to honour her prior commitment. She

acts a bit guilty and promises to come back tomorrow morning at

8 o'clock, and, listen to this, for free. Yes, sure. I show her

the door and of course never see her again.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

On my first visit to Asoke, I met a really cute BG in one of the

bars there. I spent some time chatting with her, bought her one

drink and that was it. Now, almost 3 weeks later, I go there

again and guess what, she remembers me and seems really pleased

to see me again. She has a lovely face and even lovelier smile

and she cuddles a lot. I buy her a couple of drinks and some

take-away food she orders. At least the food was cheap this

time, just 40 baht. We play a few rounds of connect 4, I lose

every single one. She is 21, really pretty and seems quite

comfortable with me. After an hour or so I ask her if she would

like to go with me. She says no.

What???! There is no other farang in sight, it's almost 11

o'clock, surely she can't make her living on just a few lady drinks

a night. Well, according to my homework, everything and everybody

in Thailand have their price. I ask her and she says she'd

go with me for 5000 baht. We both know this is ridiculous, she

eventually comes down to 3000 baht. But I get the message that

she just isn't interested.

What a pity, I really like her. OK, I don't look quite like Tom

Cruise but she seemed quite happy cuddling with me in the bar.

There is no action around, altogether about 5 farangs in

about a dozen bars, with BGs physically attacking every farang

passer-by. Is this just bad luck or am I doing something wrong?

Really bad luck. I'm dying to know the scoop on #14. What was the disturbing thought that you had?

Also, you didn't give #1 anything?

I guess I'll never know for sure. It seemed as if what I was looking for wasn't there. If you need a hint, I found her in Crack House. And no, I didn't give #1 any money, she just left.
