In my last blog I wrote about the first Thai girl I ever met (sort of). When I met her 4 years ago she was a drug-dropping, all-night party, sex-machine hooker who gave unbelievable blow jobs.
A couple of years ago she gave up the life, married and settled down in a respectable relationship with a good husband.
Last night I went to see her after work. As it turned out, she and her mom met me for dinner at a restaurant near her home, then we went grocery shopping and went back to her house around 9 p.m., where we sat and talked about being pregnant for a couple of hours.
The stark contrast between the party-girl of four years ago, and the pregnant mom of today was startling.
The PAD — a middle class Bangkok grass roots protest group led by multi millionaire media tycoon K. Sondhi — has decided that the best thing it can do to advance the political situation in Thailand is to close five regional airports to prevent the new Prime Minister from visiting his hometown.
Apparently the adverse effect on tourism and the further polarization of the political landscape is not enough to deter the PAD from this idiotic maneuver.
I have pasted a report from the Bangkok Post below for reference:
It’s a common theme when you talk to Thai bar girls.
“No like Thai man… him butterfly too mut. Me like farang; jai dee mak mak.”
When you first arrive in Thailand — okay, when I first arrived in Thailand — I believed it. It sounded so sincere coming from that innocent mouth with those full, innocent lips and those shiny innocent eyes.
I also believed a lot of other things. I believed that they had only been working in the bar for a few weeks, that they wanted to stop working in the bar and would if they just had the chance, and that she had only gone to dinner with the guy who paid her barfine earlier tonight.
I guess I believed these simple lies because it seemed that there was no reason for her to lie to me. After all, I knew she was a hooker, she knew she was a hooker… why lie?
I wanted to give some relevant statistics on plastic surgery to put some meat on this blog, but Googling “cosmetic surgery thailand” and even trying to focus it with words like “article” “research” or “statistics” simply resulted in 8,953,257,951 advertisements for plastic surgery around the world. I’m sure that with some more effort or more refined searching techniques I would have eventually found what I was looking for, but frankly, it just wasn’t that important.
So this is gonna end up being a bit of a ‘fluff’ blog… much emptier than I wanted to write, but putting forward the grain of an idea that’s worth some discussion.
I’ve had this blog in the back of my mind for a year or more, but it’s never taken shape fully. Even now, it’s dreadfully short of material, but in deciding to finally write this blog, the precipitating event was licking a Thai girl’s navel the other night.
