Left my room, early afternoon heading for the beach. Walked up Soi Kepsap and my lady of was there applying her makeup. Promising to return later I went for some lunch at a beach bar. Too cloudy for the beach, decided to take a stroll down Beach Road to check out the massage shops. First call, a lady ouside remembers my name from before and I think I had only one oil massage with her. No special on offer here (at least not to me), family orientated place but OK for foot massage/pedicure. Then it rained, but luckily only for about 10 minutes. I wasn't ready for a massage just yet so moved on.
A long walk to my next stop after Banana, halted in my tracks by a massage lady waiving her menu at me, not seen her before. I ignored it and surveyed the talent instead. "You want her?" she asked me indicating another lady. I was struggling to remember her name, but she had given me 2/3 oil massages on my previous trip. She blanked me and walked straight past, clearly she had not forgiven me for dumping her in favour of another lady at the shop last time.
Walked as far as Sawatdirak Road, but didn't find any of the ladies I was looking for. Called one of ladies I was especially seeking, but she was in Bangkok, come back Patong Monday! She promised to call me on her return.
Back to the room for shower in preparation for my late afternoon massage session, then on to Soi Kepsap. My lady was not there, so I ordered a beer. Still she didn't appear, then one of the other ladies told me she go outside, but she was expecting me to come. She come back 20 minutes. That must be Thai 20 minutes. Why am I so predicatable/reliable? I was begining to go off the idea of sloppy seconds, more than an hour had gone by and I was into my third Singha. Still she hadn't returned, no massage today then. Meantime called my regular bar lady from last time, I had avoided telling her my precise arrival date so I could check out the other talent first. She in Buriram, come back Monday! Serve me right.
Wishing I was back in Bangkok where there are tons of massage ladies I would like to check out and a fair few I want to try again. Lack of funds kept me to just 2 massages in Bangkok earlier in my trip. Also had some afternoon fun in Pattaya Soi 6 on two consequetive days with the same lady.
Nighttime walking along Bangla a lady runs out to tell me she has opened her own bar in Soi Dongtan, so I tell her I will come see her there later. Her bar has many familiar faces, and while I am talking with her one of her bar ladies sits beside me before I had chance to check out the talent. My new companion was quite pretty, but too chunky for my tastes, bought her a drink anyway. She was far too pushy inviting herself along to the beach with me next day, asking me to pay bar, asking for my phone number (rarely take my phone out at night, don't know number) and ordering herself a second lady drink. Disappointed that the bar staff didn't check with me first.
On my way to Soi Dongtan, saw 4 ladies all in a line walking along Beach Road. Number 3 was just to my liking, amazingly she gave me a big smile and greeted me with "you come back". She had given me a foot massage on my previous trip and had tried hard to persuade me to come back for oil. She is not young by any measure, but I intend to return for a second foot massage, to check her out more closely. Moved on to Soi Seadragon, on my way to Suzie Wong spot an appealing lady in one of the bars. Suzie Wong packed, don't like overcrowdedbars, so return to the nice looking talent outside.
Tempted to barfine the bar lady when she asked me but, something screamed starfish at me. She was attentive enough, but she just felt a little distant. Tried a few more bars, but found nobody special. Was pleased to see that the dancers in Green Dragon were wearing a much more appealing sailors outfit. Will return another day. Slept alone again.
Off for a foot massage now!
