How did I end up loving Thailand? Friend, read on and you will find out!
Who am I? Well, male, 29 years old, Swede. Got a good job and a nice place to live in Stockholm, no girlfriend though.
Me and a friend were going to Koh Samui for a two weeks vacation. Since all the flights to Koh Samui were booked when we arrived (to Phuket) we had to spend the night in Patong. The only thing I ever heard of Patong was ”It´s crazy there!!” :ytounge:
At first we could not find anywhere to stay, all the rooms were booked. So we sit down in a bar and have a beer. We talk to the owner of the bar and explain we need a place to stay. He just says, “ OK, I go-wait” Put a cold beer in front of a Swede and he will stay, don’t worry. He´s back after 10 minutes saying he has got a room for us. Only 1000 Baht! Very nice we think and go to see the room. It turns out to be a simple room with a double bed and a TV put on a card board box. Well, what can you expect for a 1000 Baht. Later we find out the rate for the room is 450 baht if you pay to the owner of the Hotel and not the owner of the bar next door! How should I know? :embrassed
Next we go out to explore Patong. We reach Bangla road and it is packed with people. Jeez, it really is crazy here! Everywhere pretty girls waving and smiling. I just smile and wave back as we move on. I have absolutely no interest in any of these girls. I am just here to have a few beers and see what the place is like.
After a while we find a place where we can sit down by the bar and have a few more beers. Here I meet Wee. She comes up to me smiling asking if I want something to drink? Hmm, a beer would be nice, thank you. She comes back with the beer and starts to ask me questions like “First time Thailand?” “ You stay long?” You know how it goes.
Apparently I answer all the questions correct because I can see she gets more and more interested in me as we chat on. I guess she likes the idea of a Farang how knows absolutely nothing! Hehe, I am drunk and happy, and I am not going any where with her so it is fine with me if she wants to stay and chat for a while.
She gets more beers for me and my friend; I buy her a couple of drinks too. It is at this time she makes her move, she comes close to me and puts here hand on my thigh. I really like her touch and I feel how all my resistance to taking one of these pretty girls back to the hotel is fading away. She asks if I want to go with her? Go where I ask, “go hotel, I take good care of you!”. Hmm, duuno, don’t think so, no. Sorry. She does not look happy and goes away to get a new beer for me.
Smart move, kid! One more beer for me and I will take you back to my hotel room for sure!. Now I am drunk enough to let go of any feelings of doubts that might have survived this long. She asks me again if I want to “go hotel” and I say yes. I guess I am looking a bit more stupid than normal because she kindly explains to me I have to pay her. How much I ask? -1000baht.
I just say ok and stand to leave. Well, not so fast, still the matter of paying the bar owner, how should I know? OK, how much? 300 baht. OK. Can we leave now? “Yes, we go.” Back at the hotel I am thinking of how to sneak her in to my room to avoid an embarrassing moment in the lobby. Hmm, ok, that is not how it works in Thailand. She walks directly to the guy behind the counter handing him her ID. I stand in the background trying to blend in with the furniture, closing my eyes hoping no one sees me. She turns pointing at me yelling- "HE PAY!" Eeehhh, ok, thank you for letting the whole hotel know! I walk over and ask, What do I have to pay? Aha, I have to pay the hotel! How should I know??? :embrassed
Finally we get to my room and all I can say is, she took good care of me just like she promised.
What happened to my friend that night? Well, he got lucky, twice!!
The next day we went to Koh Samui and had a good time there too, met more nice thai girls but it was hard to top the first night. To be honest, I can’t see how anything can!
