My sister is coming to Thailand. She has a work contract that will last for two weeks, and after it is completed she will stay for a couple weeks of holiday. She doesn’t know yet where she will be working in Thailand… it could be in Bangkok or it could be upcountry somewhere. But one way or another I will see her soon.
I’m pretty excited; I like my sister very much. We’re good friends.
She’s about ten years older than me — 58 to be exact. I haven’t seen her for three years, but the last time I did see her we went out shopping together in the afternoon and listening to some live music in the evening. Even at age 55 she could turn heads walking down the street. She’s the oldest in the family, and we’ve always suspected that she has a different father than us younger ones. Whoever he was, he must have been a good lookin’ fella ’cause my big sister has always been beautiful.
She tells me now that she is starting to show her age. She’s just about the same size as when she was at University, but maybe her hips have spread a bit. She says, though, that the skin is starting to tell the tale. Deeper crows feet at the eyes, dry skin on the neck that doesn’t look as supple as before. I’m not sure how old she looks now, but I’m betting it’s closer to an attractive 48 than an aging 58.
The nurse is on my mind because I just got off the phone with her.
The nurse is one of those bad ideas that sometimes overtake me and involve me against my better judgement.
The nurse isn’t just a “good” Thai girl… she’s a VERY good Thai girl. Sweetness, innocence and purity of heart all rolled into one very adorable package.
Everything bad you could say about most Thai bar girls simply doesn’t apply to her. She is well-educated, hard working and naive. She doesn’t sleep all day — in fact she often works 16-hour shifts and has to catch naps where possible. Money — or the grasping love of money — seems a foreign concept to her. She lives simply and gently in the world.
At the same time she looks like a go go dancer. Not tall, she has a beautiful Thai face with deep brown skin, heavy eyebrows, cat-like eyes and a radiant smile. She looks like every Isaan princess I have ever known but she is not from Isaan.
And she does look sexy with that little white cap on.
I heard from a friend that the movie Slumdog Millionaire was very good. Then it won all those awards. It seemed like other people agreed with my buddy. .
Turns out that the movie is good. I watched it yesterday just before I went to the Big Mango party. Today I was bored and so I watched it again.
The best part of the movie may be Freida Pinto, the beautiful Indian model and actress in the photo above.
This morning I woke up around 5 a.m., rolled out of bed and headed to the toilet. I took a good long pee, then headed back to my bed. I jumped in from the side closest to the bathroom and bumped against a body!
What the fuck!? Why is there a corpse in my bed?!
Well, the corpse moved, so it wasn’t dead. My addled brain flashed on the idea that it was my favorite go go dancer — no one else has been in my bed for nearly 8 months — but then I remembered that she’s in Europe. I peered closely at the face of the girl and then remembered.
I brought a girl home on Friday night… the first time since my favorite go go dancer left around Christmastime. This was her. I had to think for a moment to figure out where she had come from.
Back in July I wrote. She’s an interesting girl insofar as she is a prototype for an entire class of Thai women that exist here in Bangkok. They are NOT Pay-4-Play girls, yet they are intensely interested in Westerners. They usually have no interest at all in gettting involved with Thai men, and emphatically won’t have a Thai boyfriend in the background.
These girls usually spend a fair amount of time polishing their English skills, and then go where the farang are, which often means being in farang-oriented bars, either as an employee or as a customer. In my experience they often grab onto a Western boyfriend and move in with him, at least for a while. They will, if given the opportunity, travel overseas.
The idea of the ‘tweener is that she is caught somewhere in the middle between the world of P4P hookers and Thai “good” girls. She is probably much more active sexally, and often reliant on money that she gets from her boyfriend, or a series of men, but doesn’t believe that she is selling sex for a living.
Well, earlier this week I reported that I set up a date with a former flight attendant (as in she stopped working for the airline two months ago) for this Friday. That date will have to be re-scheduled as work has popped up with a conflicting appointment. No problem, air hostess and I have been chatting on the internet every night, so I’m sure she’ll accommodate the schedule change.
