Weโd been in and out of Jomtien (usually to the beach and a quick one afterward) and Pattaya. Mainly Walking Street and in and around Soi 2. We do have a tendency to walk around a bitโฆthe grass is always greener I guess.
After a few days I get a text. โKoi Sumi crap. Full of Aus canโt get a look in.โ It was our mate Joe. I gave him a call and it turns out heโs having a real bad time. Koi Sumi is beautiful but the place is full of families and bronzed bodied, blue-eyed Australians. After listening to a grown man cry for half an hour we suggest he make his way to Pattaya and meet up with us. โIโm on my f**kin wayโ. I booked him into the Sabai Lodge. We met up with him the next night in those bars near the Gold Fish Bowl. It was his first time in Pattaya and he couldnโt believe the place. Heโd only managed to take one girl back during his five days in Koi Sumi, and now he was like a dog with two dicks. With our new friend in tow we wandered here and there, eventually strolling down Soi 6. Joe could believe his eyes, WTF!!!! (Which I think sums it up nicely). Again, time to fess-up. Iโd walked down Soi 6 twenty times previous to this but always found it a little intimidating and consequently Iโve never been in any of the bars. We stopped for a few minutes to admire the view and my mate says โWhereโs Joe?โ Oh s**t heโs gone in there. My mate points to a red curtain surrounded by ten BGโs, anyone of which would eat me for breakfast. Weโre gonna have to go in after him kidโฆ (it was like a scene from Platoonโฆwell not reallyโฆbut you get the gist) We made our way past these man eating girls and drew back the curtainโฆand thereโs Joe with a beer in on hand and the sexiest thing youโve ever seen sitting on his lap. The bar was darkish but not dingy; there were five or six small booths and the music was good. The thing that surprised me the most was the laid-back atmosphere. The girls were all lookers with great bodies and short red skirts. Ther's no hassle. A girl sits down next to me and asks โI look after you?โ She was slim, pretty, about 23 years old. โOkโ I say, and buy her a drink. She was a little quieter than Joeโs girl who was busy rubbing her beaver in his smiling face. Joe disappeared upstairs. โYou want to go up stairs? This was all new to me and as a result my heart was pounding a bit. But, I had another drink, and much to her surprise (and mine) I took her up on the offer. Ok, for all you who are thinking about it and wondering what exactly goes on behind those red curtains, hereโs the detail. You go upstairs to a bedroom. Thereโs a bed a dresser and a fan. The sound of the street below fills the room; this could be off putting to some - but I liked it. The girl does not rush; sheโs done it all before. Five minutes later your doinโ what comes naturally. After youโre finished, she kisses you all over and tells you are that you are Mr Wonderful. She then takes you to another room where you have a shower, which consists of a large bucket, cold water, soap and you. She gives you her phone number (you think itโs because she likes you - but really itโs because she doesnโt want to sit outside all night again tomorrow) you have another drink, chat with your mates, tell โem you were greatโฆ and wonder why you didnโt do this before. The sex was good (the best BJ ever) 1000bt โฆincluding tip.
Joe is now a man possessedโฆand I could do with a kip.
We head off back to Second Road and have a few drinks and a game of pool. The bar is situated across from the U2 barโฆI think itโs called โthe country barโ or something like that. As I was paying the check-bin when a tall girl stands behind me and whispers โpay bar fineโ . She was good looking but her English was almost non-existent. She asks me again to pay her bar fine (which was about the extent of her English). Iโm not sure what happened in Soi 6 but my little friend woke up and I felt something stir in the trouser department. โOk girl get your coatโ. I left the other two lads talking to our friends from Manchester and I head of back to the hotel. She had only been working the bars for about three weeks and was mega shy. We got into bedโฆ.she still had her towel around her. I decided not to push itโฆwe were kissing for agesโฆthen the towel comes offโฆand thenโฆThey say itโs the quiet ones you have to watch!!!.
We had breakfast in Jontiem, and bought her some jeans. We had a few strange looks from REAL tourists, but what the hell! Iโm sitting next to a 5 foot 10 inch beauty and youโre whispering nasty remarks to your 15 stone ball of blubberโฆgo figure! 1000 baht plus bits.
For all of you who cannot wait for Sundayโs omnibus edition - Iโm going to update you about Joe. HEโS STILL THERE. I had a text from him yesterday and heโs still in Pattaya. He came home for one week about three months ago, grabbed some cash, and went straight back out to LOS, and heโs still there to this day. I haven't got a clue what he's doing about visas or money. My mate is going over to meet up with him in a couple of weeks (thanks everyone for the hotel suggestions) and check to see how he is. Joe fell in love with a bar girl in Pattaya...he discovered she was marriedโฆyou can guess the rest.
Loads more happened over those 18 days in January. We met two great air hostess (worked for air India)on the beach in Jontiemโฆ.ah well, another day perhaps.
I am indebted to everyone who contributes to this board on a regular basis, especially those who have taken the time to provide me withhgood detailed information about hotels, bars etc. It has saved countless hours searching on the net. I think Iโve paid it back a little of the debt now.
