Elephant Poo

Thai Penthouse girls

Thai Penthouse girls

Last Tuesday saw the Penthouse Party at Forte. Together with a pal, I went to check it out. On paper, it sounds a good idea. Penthouse girls strutting their stuff in thongs and heels, in the confines of an exclusive members’ club.

Or so I thought. Turns out the event was free entry to members and non-members alike, and even worse, featured a free bar.

And so, predictably, the whole place was ram-packed with horny Thai guys, jostling for position so that they could get the best shots with their ubiquitous camera-phones. Nobody likes a sausage party.

So it was that I found myself standing mere feet away from some of Bangkok’s most beautiful women, as they paraded themselves practically naked around the stage, and was heard to utter as I finished my free drink, “This is shit. Let’s go somewhere else”.

I think that’s an affirmative sign that I’ve now fully settled into Bangkok life. I idly wondered what my pals back home, cursed by chubby chicks, would think about this state of affairs, and swiftly resolved never to tell them.

There are some things about Bangkok that just don’t make sense, until you’ve been here and seen it for yourself.

The idea that you can have more fun elsewhere, when you’re already at a swanky free bar full of near-naked beautiful women, is probably one of them.

They’re All Called Noi

So we left. Soi Cowboy appealed, and I soon found myself in one of the better gogo bars, where my regular girl wasn’t around. But Noi, as we shall call her, was. Young, cute, perfectly smooth skin, no kids, a perky pair of top-bollocks, and a demeanour that could bring a smile to the face of even Steve McClaren. Negotiations were swift.

I don’t usually suggest long-time when it’s my first-time with a girl. Not until I’ve figured how whether they’re any good or not. But I had a good feeling about this one. She agreed enthusiastically, but with one condition - that she be allowed to make a phone call to her boyfriend at 2am. I chuckled, and agreed.

So on our way back to Bad Boy Towers, I asked where her boyfriend was, and what he thought she was getting up to in the evenings. Pretty typical, really. He was stuck out in farangland, but would be returning to Thailand for his next trip in a few months’ time. He thinks she’s working service, rather than hugging the pole, but she figured that what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.

And anyway, she added, being a butterfly is so much more fun, isn’t it?

And as our yellow and green limousine reached the apex of the diamante-paved ramp to the platinum arches of my humble abode, my valet gave a nod and a wink of approval, as he unfurled the red carpet and doffed his cap (simultaneously - no mean feat).

Into the shower, and off to bed for Round One, and I’d like to take this opportunity to apologise to the neighbours. I’m sure most of you have encountered a screamer at some point, but this one was off the scale. My ears are still ringing…

And then, the phone call.

“Yes darling, I stay my loom, miss you”, she simpered into her Nokia whilst reclining on a couch. Poor sod. But I’d seen it all before.

“Yes, of course I still want marry you!”. Or maybe I hadn’t.

He wasn’t her “boyfriend”. He was her fiancé. Whilst this remained an equally silly situation, I couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for the guy. Although from the sound of things, he was hardly a role model for fidelity himself. “Him same you, like butterfly”, she’d told me earlier.

I wandered back to bed, wondering whether she or I were the most errant party here. Morals and whoremongering make strange bedfellows.

And as I was cogitating on this conundrum, she slipped into bed beside me, still chattering into her phone, unrolled a condom with her spare hand, and clambered aboard the BBB Express to instigate Round Two.

A friend remarked on the situation the following day, after I’d shared my shame:

Her fiancé! He must have elephant poo for brains. Good job though.

We’re all going to hell.

Happy Loy Krathong

Finally, happy Loy Krathong folks. Yes, it’s that time again. Everyone fucks off to the river to buy stupid little floats, fills them with money, and chucks them in the river. Whereupon a bunch of Thai chancers swim through the sludge and pocket the cash. Ah, the joys of living in a Buddhist country, where karma is everything. Isn’t it?

On top of that, the barfines will be raised this evening to dissuade the girls from taking the night off. It’s up to ฿1,000 at Rainbow 4 - expect the same kind of prices elsewhere.

The Big Erection by PSI100

The day of the big erection is nearly upon us. Hit men are out practicing and polishing their weapons, Samlor drivers are making an extra buck or two blasting neighborhoods with lies, more lies and promises that won’t be kept and the Big Boys are jostling for position with ever increasingly ridiculous stunts. So what does this all mean for us, the innocent bystanders. To answer this we have to unfortunately take a closer look at who’s in the line up for the most likely winner of the Big Erection.

Dtuu yens, Peep Inn, pumpkin pie and Bar Bits

Busy busy folks. Yes - never fear we keep pounding the pavement in search of the new and improved Mango. Rest assured we have not given up. Had the turkey buffet at Bourbon Street yesterday with Jake Needham. I gorged. I stuck to the basics. Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, yards of gravy. Then I did it again. I let it settle. Chatted some more and then went in for one more round. Then finished it up with some amazing bread pudding smothered in rum sauce and loads of pumpkin pie drowned in whipping cream. Sure - it ain’t like my mom and dad make but mom and dad aren’t here. Love the rents. The food was good and for a buffet, although not cheap, one can get their fill. I did. I am hurting. The Bourbon Street has also added another big room to their dining room and added more hotel rooms. Sounds like they are doing well. Congrats Doug. Thanks for a little slice of Americana on turkey day. Don’t tell my folks I cheated on them.

Pointers in Picking the Perfect Pole Hugger for Perpetuity by go go groupie

A well-known woman of the cloth once said that “the hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread”. Although it’s unlikely she had the lonely farang expat in mind, sating one’s hunger for love can be a well nigh impossible task for some in the City of Angels (assuming, of course, you succumb to such a weakness). At first, it seems a cruel irony – a land with so many beautiful young women and inept, insensitive local men lead one to the natural conclusion that it should be easy pickings for the relatively well-groomed/mannered farang, however, as discussed ad nauseum on this board and elsewhere, examples of people making a meaningful, lasting connection (assuming that’s what you want) are few and far between.

Bar Bits, After Hours, and a Mango Girl Update by pmmp

Cruised into Nana Plaza the other night for the first time since we moved the Big Mango Bar out. Met a friend at Rainbow 4. The lineup was top notch but I’ve never seen R4 so empty. There were about 10 customers in the place and the girls were actually trying to solicit my business, unheard of. Headed to Mandarin next. This is currently my favorite in Nana. Just one or two empty seats and the lineup was impressive and energetic. The music always kicks ass in the place, over other GoGo’s that is.

S. Botan - Cheapolay throws us a bone…

I did it for the team. Moments after Cheapolay posted this comment I was on the Skytrain and headed for the National Stadium stop. Sure there are tons of massage places I have never been to, but to hear about one I have never heard of in a place I figured had very few Farang and gifted to me by someone with a handle like Cheapolay enticed me to check it out as soon as I could. This is not to say I am cheap or looking for the cheapest experience but something about it just sounded interesting. Here is my tale.

Beowulf, Culture Club and suddenly 15% growth!

The thing I love about this blog is how much I learn from it. Plain and simple this blog is my biggest source of information in Thailand and I am one of the writer’s on it. So that is super cool to me that I learn more on this blog than I could probably ever hope to share in return. Just look at pmmp’s post yesterday to give u an idea of how much people are willing to share about their own experiences. The blog now has 5,404 comments as of this post - an amazing source of information. Whether you agree or not with what is said here - it is interesting and we will do our best to make sure we keep it all above board. This comment yesterday sent me off hunting for S. Botan in search of new experiences. Which I did have and I will report on soon. Cheapolay - my new hero.
