Comments on: Another weekend in Bangkok by Ron http://www.2thebigmango.com/reader-submissions/2008/10/08/another-weekend-in-bangkok-by-ron/ Insiders take on Thailand Fri, 09 Jan 2009 09:27:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: On Nutter http://www.2thebigmango.com/reader-submissions/2008/10/08/another-weekend-in-bangkok-by-ron/#comment-160298 On Nutter Thu, 09 Oct 2008 08:27:33 +0000 http://www.2thebigmango.com/?p=2319#comment-160298 Ron: A nicely written account of the glorious absurdity of Bangkok. I too have well-meaning friends trying to introduce me to "nice" Thai girls but they are always evasive about why the future Mrs On Nutter is unattached at a relatively advanced age. A farang friend made a priceless comment this week when he was recounting how a colleague was always criticising Thai women. He and the two other people listening to him are either married to or living with Thai women. He said indignantly: "I stay with a Thai woman, you stay with a Thai woman, you stay with a Thai woman...and you (looking at me in disgust) stay with one about three nights out of seven."

He must think you will simply take ANYONE, then....in other words he probably thinks you're the Thai idea of a typical farang :) Hope you disabused him of that notion.

I like the first one but not the second. It even seems to be written but 2 different persons (I don't say it is. I only say it seems). Strange...

I only did it twice, but got all kinds of shit from friends for it. It was great fun, but it definitely has to be the *right* three girls. In my case they were first cousins...two were a little nuts and one a little unstable, but the third, oldest one quickly assumed the role of mother hen/ringmaster and kept everyone in line. Yeah, pyjama party (with fucking) is a pretty apt description, haha. Great stuff, and I’m glad to see someone besides me is into the three girls thing.
