soongmak Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 What helps for me is acknowledging that some nights are just not *my* nights. The best thing you can do in those circumstances is just cut your losses. Don't go off on a frantic search for that one girl that will make everything all right. Usually this ends in a freakin' nightmare. Better go home alone, go shopping or so the next day, revive yourself with a good massage in the afternoon, treat yourself on an excellent diner and usually next night is a lot better. I remember going out in BKK after I just broke up with m GF and instead of having a good time, girls came up to me and asked me why I was sad. Talk about spoiling my mood! When you feel bad, a gogo bar can be the loneliest place in the world. Cheers, soongmak P.s.: if you happen to be in bkk when I visit (june 19th to july 10th) I would be more than happy to share a beer or a meal with you.

pe7e Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 clearly most guys are consistently having a real party over there. Absolute crap! everyone I have ever known in LOS has had dire nights, no one hits the jackpot every night. Take a close look next time you are there, more men are leaving alone than with their 'conquest', this is particulary true in the discos. I suspect the real reason is not a shortage of willing momen, but more to do with the men expecting to have the object of their fantasie throw themselves at them at the first sight of a thousand baht note. On every bad night I have experienced, I have turned down at least 2 attractive girls in the hope of finding that ellusive stunner, and ended up alone, rather than lower my expectations a little. The best girl I have ever had (not just in LOS) was cute but would not have been my first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Moth Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 For me, sometimes things seem to snowball a bit. I have a bad experience and then the next time I go out I feel somewhat less confident, a bit wary and not as open and friendly as I could be otherwise. This probably makes it more difficult to have a good night. Fortunately for me, I am now living in Thailand and have been out many times and now see that there are good nights and bad, good ladies and bad and I don't control when I have the good or the bad. So, I now tend to be less affected by bad experiences knowing that I will soon have a good one, often when not expected. Without the advantage of living here, I could easily see how I could have some bad experiences on a vacation and get down in the dumps just as you did. So, I encourage you to not get so upset when you have a very bad experience. This will happen. Nothing you can do to prevent it, IMO. Here is a recent bad experience that you might find interesting. Another member of this board and I went out one night. We met to ladies at a GoGo and barfined them with the expectation that the 4 of us would go to a karaoke. We went to one nearby and obtained a private room. We spent the next 4 hours eating and drinking with the ladies seeming to have a great time singing Thai songs. So, as this part of the evening came to an end, everything seemed to be wonderful. The lady I was paired with and I then took a 5 minute taxi ride to my apartment. So, given we were only 5 minutes from the excellent karaoke experience I thought things were going very well. But we entered my apartment and she immediately said, "how much you pay me". We agreed on a price quickly and with no problem. And I thought I was home free. But, 2 seconds later she said, "you pay me now or I will leave". Given her attitude I figured I would really be in trouble if I paid her. Therefore, I said, "OK, then leave", which she did. So, there I sat, stunned that such a nice night could end so badly. For me this is simply an example of a bad Thailand experience. They happen. Nothing you can to to avoid it. Of course, there are occasions when we have great experiences. Otherwise, none of us would be here - living or on vacation. So, once again I encourage you not to let it bother you so much when you have bad luck and here is a wish that you have a run of good luck and soon put up a post about the great times in Thailand.
