Re: Closing times

Yes it's true.

Places like Starlight shut down at 1am. The friendly & sleepier places with the retired farang close down at 12.

Bubbles disco at Pornping open until 2am though. I think there are a few other discrete after-hours places though.

[Chikan]

Hey Guys,
What's the closing times up there in CM these days? Still 2am or earlier? I heard somewhere that disco's are closing at 1am - is that true? I'll be up there from August 18th to 24th....just trying to figure out some things......thanks a lot people!

RCA Knight,

Well done for your report on july 7th. The kind of report I like. Off the beaten track, with original and precise details. More of reports like this please guys !
The only thing, in my opinion you really overpaid and spoilt the girls. There is no need to pay 2500 or 3000 B to a girl for overnight. 1500 to 2000 B is always enough. Do you know the average monthly salary of a shop ao factory worker in this region of Thailand ? Well that is what they would earn if nobody fucked them !

Euros123:

I once about a year or so ago went into Tackiley for a visa run and walked around the streets and some motorbike boys told me nice ladies for 500 bahts. And insisted these ladies are very young and cute. So I gave it a try and he took me to a house that had about 10 girls and the level is so so nothing spetacular. The mamasan can speak some English and offered me to take 2 for sandwich for 1000 bahts. It was cheap and the girls were okay and look clean ,not disgusting. The motorbike boy asked me 100 for tip and offer to pick me up in 1.5 hours. Then I had 2 gals for sandwich but the room upstairs was so filthy and the shower water was kind of yellowish color. So I was not in a good mood for action.

After this I did not look for lady on the other side of border anymore.

Here's an addition to the CM soapie scene: (Phucome)

Went to a place at the CM Phucome hotel. The hotel is way out on Huay Kuew, well past Nimmehamin. It's the NW corner of a very busy intersection. The sign is in Thai and bright blue neon on top of the building. As you are facing the front of the building head left. DO NOT go into the 'traditional massage' place (got this tip from another forum). Go into the ground level of the parking garage and look for the neon signs, then up the stairs.

Papasan quoted 900 all-inclusive for 1.5hrs. Had about 12 in fishbowl, and 6 in side area. These latter girls are 1100. Of course, papasan was quick with a recommendation. A new girl he said. I asked 'nome yai' and he admitted no. When asked for another recommendation, he came back to the same one!

So, wtf, I take her. Forgot the name, but real nice. Small, but not much for a body imho, maybe a 6+. Starts with wash in large tub, then to bed for CBJ, and boom. Then wash down. Room ok, has a minibar. No chance to give feedback to papasan. Probably would try something else before heading out there again.

Good report RCA Knight.

Did you not try anything the other side of the border? Usually a nice day-time selection there for Bht300.

You are paying too much in Thailand ..... but seem to be satisfied with what you pay ..... so, enjoy!

[Eros123]

Checked out the soapies in CM this week.

Pandoras, my favourite for many years, has been going downhill for the last 12 months. Now is at an all time low, with mostly old hags in the goldfish bowl, and very few sideline girls.

The manager has changed, and done away with the 1 hour service for Bht1,000 (sometimes got it for 800), and will now not negotiate on the 1.5 hour rate below Bht 1,600 (used to be 1,500 ... but got it for 1,200 normally).

Give it a miss for now.

Instead, went to Sayuri, god selection this time around, about 35 girls at 21:00pm. Got a real cutie for Bht 1,200 for 1.5 hours .... which actually lasted almost 2.5 hours.

Go on foot, so you can get a better price than by taking a tuk-tuk. Easy to find, accross Narawat Bridge, in a Soi that suns between Riverside/Good View by the river, and the next main Soi.

I'm debating to go to Chiang Mai during my last week here in LOS. Does Chiang Mai have the same type beer bar set up as Pattaya and Phuket? I'd really like to make it up there if it has the bar girls I love.

[RCA Knight]

I just made a 5 day visa run to Mae Sai and checked out the lady scene at Chiang Rai, Maesai, Chiang Saen, Chiang Khong. If you are looking for trekking, nature, Lanna landscape, Mekong River, temples, this is a great place for you. If you are seeking easy genital stimulation in these regions, you may need your hand and some help of imagination on some nights. But if you look hard enough, in some cases with help of motorbike boys, and lower your standard a bit, you can always find something. Also if you have a few days to waste ,the amatures scene can be good in these unspoiled regions as well.

Chiang Rai. I stayed 2 out 5 nights here. The action is around the hotel I stayed called Wangcome hotel. There are several karaokes and bar beer. And a small street of gogo bars. Nothing exciting. The lady choice not vert good. I only found a cute girl in one of the karaokes but she refused to go out with a customer. I found this quite often in the karaokes in Chiang Rai. many girls do not sleep with customers and only go out for dancing. So you have to ask beforehands. The gogo scene also very bad. The girls dance in plain clothes and no cutie at all. And the bar beer scene also have weak. A few bar beer at Yot Jet Rd. Bar fine 300 everywhere. But on the average the girls have good personality.

There are some popular discos in Chiang Rai. Biggest one is at Inn Come Hotel south of town. It's called Par Club. Very crowded on Friday my first night here. There is another crowded disco called Sperm Club nearby. I went there afterwards and tried to hit on the Heineken girl with a sexy body. I got her number but she had to work till 2 so I left and went back to nearby Wangcome hotel. I was pretty hungry for lady I picked up a lady sitting outside a karaoke bar on Yot Jet Rd near the clock tower. Paid 300 bar fine and walked to my room. But I could not really get excited because this girl has so much pubic hair. So she jack me off and I paid her 1500 and sent her away quickly.

Then I walked to another disco nearby in the Hotel Saen Phu. It was very crowded. There were a few nice girls but all with guys. I looked around but the only cute one available was a girl working behind the counter. I ordered a beer and gave her a big tip. And we started to talk but she was so busy. Did not really have chance to talk much. But I asked her number. She gave to me.

So I got 2 numbers this night. I decide to call both of them at 2 15 AM when they get off work and see what happen. I called the girl from disco at Saen Phu hotel because she was more cute than the Heineken. But she said she had to go home. So I called the Sperm Club Heineken girl and she said she wants to go Par Club which opens very late till 4 AM sometimes and asked me to go with her. So I took a tuk tuk again to Par Club and met her outside the parking.

For some reason some discos in this part of country can stay open till 4 or 5 AM. And they do not really check ID for teenagers either. There were obviously lots of little kids in all the discos in Chiang Rai.

Anyways I opened a bottle of 100 Piper. And danced with her for a long time. Later I got a little tired and asked her straight that I like to stay with her tonight. She said she can send me back with her motorbike but she is very tired and want to sleep. I did not push her at all because I was very tired myself. So she sent me to hotel Wangcome and we promised to meet gain when I get back from visa run in few days.

Mae Sai. 1 hour by bus from Chiang Rai. Paid 5 USD to go to Takiley on the myanmar side for a day. Officially out of Thailand and made a U-turn in 5 min get another 30 days. Checked in hotel Tai Tong. A well run Chinese hotel. Rooms have carpet and TV and Air. 500 bahts. Good value. Walked to the temple on the hill and around the border market waiting night to fall.

9PM. Walked around and found some massage places. There are myanmar ladies. But can not find any cutie. So I lower my standard and picked out a lady and took her back to my room. 200 for 2 hours. She gave me a good massage but refuse to do anything else. Not even hand job. I gave her 50 tip and walked to her shop again and asked for another lady who will body massage. But the mama said her ladies don't do sex massage. Because they are all too young and innocent. So I left and walked around the street along the river. Found a karaoke but the ladies were so old and I left quickly.

Found some more massages but no cutie. And I lost interest in getting massage girls. A bike taxi driver told me of a big disco called BM. Si I went. It was big for Mae Sai and was crowded on Sat my 2nd night. There were quick a few girls but I think some of them are working. I searched all corners and found several okay girls. I approached one. She was with another girl. So I treated them some drinks and talked to her. She said she is from Chiang Mai and came to visit her friend in Mae Sai. We danced together and disco closed at 2 and I asked her staight to stay with me. She nodded. So her friend went home first and the girl went back with me.

I think she is semi pro. Because she came in and we started the procedure and she looked very natural. She has very nice tits but has some fat around the waist. I ponded her a long time. And she spent the night with me till 9AM and I gave her a tip of 2500 and she was happy and gave me her number. Sex was good but
nothing exciting.

I took a songthel for Chiang Saen. About 1 hour from Mae Sai. On the way you passed Golden Triangle. Now there are luxury hotels like Meredien, Imperial ect. No more opium or Mr. Kun Sa. Arrived in Chiang Saen and rented a bicycle. I circled the town but cannot find any lady houses. But went to a few nice temples and rode along the river Mekong and saw many many Chinese barges delivering good from Xuxanbana. And there are so many goods from China. And lots of Chinese businessmen and Chinese sailors in town. I was struggling to stay here one night or leave for Chiang Rai. But decided to stick with my original plan to stay one night in the quiet town. maybe there is some new discovery when night falls.

I checked in the only hotel like hotel in town called Chiang Saen River Hill hotel. 800 Bahts very nice room. But it is a little out of the main street. I talked to the hotel bell boy about lady places. And he said he get off work at 10 and will take me to see many ladies.

He took me on a motorbike and ran into darkness and arrived in a house outside of town. We went in there were about 10 ladies and all of them Lao lady. I did not like anyone but had a beer just to give them a donation. So the boy took me to another dark street with a small neon sign says karaoke and we went in and there were about 7-8 ladies. This time I saw a cutie and she is Thai from this area. So I talke to mamasan to take her to my room. Paid mama 300 bahts and the boy ma and she she followed us to my hotel. I gave the boy 200 tip.

The lady has very good personality and very nice skin and licked my balls very well. Stayed till 11AM and lunched together. I was happy with her and gave her 2500 bahts for a whole night service and good time.

Later I moved on to Chiang Khong by songthel. Going to this town, you pass some really nice scenry. Beautiful lanna field. Chiang Khong only has one main street. Many nice guest houses along the Mekong river. I rented a bycicle again and explored the town in 10 min. The river scenry here is really beautiful that I forget about ladies for 20 min. Stayed at Ruan Thai Sopapan Hotel. Nice river side bangalow I paied 500.

I was tired and walked around Mekong and had nice dinner at the riversides restuarant and did not look for lady in Chiang Khong. A very health tourist.

Woke up and walked aornd the river see the view again then took a bus back to Chiang Rai for my last night. I checked in Saen Phu hotel for a change. Nice room 500 bahts. Then waited for night to fall. 8PM. Walked to the night bazzar. Tried to picked up a student in uniform. But she said she was waiting for her boyfiriend and the boy came shortly after. I walked to a big hotel called Wiang Inn Hotel. There is a bubble bath in there. The only one in Chiang Rai. But all the ladies are so old and ugly and I did not even ask how much and left. Went back to my room for a rest and called the Heineken girl.

She was not working and agrred to see me. We met at the Pizza Company and had a late dinner. Then she invited me to some bar and we went. She took me on her bike and I tried to hold her and she did not resisted and this is a very good sign. We drank some beer and eat some snack and listened to music. Then I told her this is my last night and wanted to like to stayed with her. She kind of think and said she has to go to school 8AM. I said I will wake her up. Then we went to my room and she resisted a little at first. But later opened up very well. I pounded her. Small tits but very nice legs. I think she is a amature. Woke up about 7 AM. Did not sleep much and she was in a hurry to go. I told her I have no time to buy her a present and I like to give her some money to buy herself a present. I gave her 3000 and she accepted it and feel happy. She asked me to stay one more night. But I told her I cannot because I cannot change my air schedule. But made empty promise to see her again next month. Which I think I will not come all the way for her again. We said bye bye. And my 5 days visa run trip ends.

I'm new to this forum but I'm a senior member of a Dutch forum.
A few weeks ago I picked up a very nice girl in Chiang Mai. I forgot her real name but her nick name is Toktok. Very pretty girl, 9 out of 10 IMHO. Dark Isaan beauty. Long hair, slim but not skinny, perfect breasts (B-size), perfect butt. But the most important: sweet, not stupid, easy going and not arrogant. Although she knows her value. Very determined she will ask 1000 for ST and 1500 for LT. Bargaining almost impossible!

I had her ST (I had to get up early unfortunately). She wants everything with condom. No BJ because I finished before we came to that... In bed she's the same as outside: nice and sweet and she even kissed a little bit.

You can find her in the Chiang Mai Entertainment Plaza (I believe that's the name) at the Loi Khro Road. Go to the bars at the very end behind the boxing ring. You can find her in the bar in the middle. Or 1 of the bars in the middle, I forgot if there are 3 or 4.

[MeatMan]

Rhino Tusk,

Great stuff! I had my left arm on my chin and my right arm on the mouse scrolling along. Thanks for sharing the story.

[Joe Zop]

I agree, great stuff, Rhino Tusk!

BTW -- and this is for any mongers who take the same elephant farm tour -- the trick with the ox cart is to sit up front and drive. It's a hundred times more comfortable than sitting on the axle in back, and if you ask they'll generally let you drive the thing. It's well worth a small tip to save your fanny some grief.

[Carabu]

Rhino Tusk,

Lovely story about you and Isaan Beauty. Sexy, sweet and human. I really enjoyed reading it. Reminds me of the week I spent in Pattaya last January with MySweetie. One of the best weeks of my life.

Thanks for sharing.

If any of you mongers are going to Chang Mai it´s a must to visit Star Six. Sorry to say, my friend and I heard it too late on the same day we had to fly back to BKK. We heard it from a boss in a factory who makes rings with jewelleries and stones and he always use take his customers there.

Please report after your visit. What I think it´s a some sort of a GoGo with lots of ladies. Maybe just outside the center of CM.

[Rhino Tusk]

i’ve just returned from spending five days in chaing mai. it was the first time i’ve been up north, and i highly recommend it for anyone looking to escape the touts and just enjoy the warmth and hospitality of the thai people in an urban setting. chaing mai is the second largest city in thailand, about 170, 000 people. other advantages include lower prices and much cooler nighttime temperatures than bangkok.

i didn’t make this trek alone, i’ll call my traveling companion issanbeauty. she is one of those girls that has ‘the look’, the type that makes your knees buckle slightly when you see her for the first time. issanbeauty is a 21 year old from chaiyaphum. she quit as a university student as soon as she was old enough to support her family, despite being in the top third of her class. as the primary bread winner, she was constantly checking condoms for leakage, and claimed to have two break on her. “i don’t care if i die, ” she told me, “i care that no one will take care of my family.”

many thai girls are uncomfortable about displaying emotions in public, but not issanbeauty. this girl really has a lot of self-confidence. while waiting in the boarding area at bangkok airport, she locks arms at the elbow, pinches my cheek, kisses me , and rubs my belly. “my pom pui man”, she calls me.

about 70% of the travelers are farangs, there are one or two other thai-farang couples, but not with nearly a 30 year age difference. we may blend in on the lower sukhumvit, but not in this crowd. carrying on like a couple giddy newlyweds, we draw lots of attention. no one looks shocked or appalled, just curious.

after the one hour flight, we check in the chaing mai gate hotel, a three star property in the southern part of the city, just south of the moat that surrounds the inner city. not the best proximity for p4p, action, but that’s not an issue. at the tour desk, we register for the elephant safari, at 900 thb/person, for the following day. in the evening, we tuk tuk to the night market, where a collection of restaurants encircle an outdoor dining area, much like at phuket patong. the tiger prawns are very tasty. issanbeauty suggests i take her to visit her hometown of chiyaphum, a mid-sized town near khon kaen, instead of later going down to pattaya alone. an intriguing idea, but i didn’t come here to devote myself to one woman. “is no good for me, ” i tell her. “a bar girl has very ‘cold heart’. i’ll fall in love with you, but to you, i’m just your atm.” she gives me a most puzzled look , i don’t think she’s heard this one before. then, she mutters what seems to be one of her favorite phrases: “fuck off, bob.”

in the morning, we’re picked-up by the tour bus at 8:30. we collect three other couples along the way: a 30ish swedish couple, a 30ish european couple, and a 60ish egyptian couple living in canada, besides ourselves: a fifty year old american and 21 year old thai.

after introductions, the guide begins her presentation. “chaing mai is called the ‘rose of the north’ and produces the most beautiful women in thailand. then, turning to me, she says, “i see not everyone here agrees with that.”

a one hour drive along highways 107 and 1069 brings us to the mae sa elephant centre. issanbeauty is really in her element here . i purchase a bunch of bananas and sugar cane for 20 baht, hoping to capture a picture of her feeding them. she screams as one reaches out with it’s trunk and grabs the food before either of us is ready. more elephants are frolicking in the river. one is submerged up to the neck, and appears to be doing a breast stroke. as the elephants emerge from the river, some spray with their trunks, as if it’s the songkran festival. issanbeauty quickly back-peddles to avoid getting wet, then yells ‘oweeee’ as she nearly trips over a large pile of dung.

we take a seat in the bleachers for the one-hour elephant show. the giant mammals stand up on their back feet, then on their right feet, on their left feet, and finally, on their front feet. one large elephant picks up a soccer ball and boots it over the concession hut. another tosses a basketball at a makeshift hoop. the ball hits the backboard and bounces off the rim. gee, i could have made that shot.

the highlight of the day is the one-hour elephant ride. issanbeauty and i climb into the cockpit, a small wooden bench perched atop several layers of blankets, and strapped around the animal's mid-section. a rope is tied across to hold us in. our driver, the elephant trainer, sits atop the animal's head with his ‘hook’, used to control the elephant, much like the horse jockey’s whip. as the elephant starts to move, we grab onto the metal frame of our seats, initially feeling very insecure.

our elephant wades up-river and crosses into a forest. issanbeauty spots a familiar variety of tree and instructs the trainer to navigate the animal so we can pick the branches, which contain small, purple berries that are quite bitter, but edible. issanbeauty sings thai songs to entertain us.

our caravan proceeds up and down hills, and across several large, muddy pools of water. the animal immediately before us, evidently quite a mischievous rascal, manages to ‘throw’ his trainer into one of the pools of water. the trainer climbs back aboard, soaking wet, embarrassed, and steaming angry , and whacks the ill-behaved beast several times with the hook. ouch!

back at the center, the next leg of the tour is the bamboo rafting. as fate would have it, we’re assigned to share a raft with the swedish couple. this prompts issanbeauty into one of her ‘i no like my dark skin’ raps. come on sweetheart, give us a break .

we float downstream for 40 minutes, but it’s too hot to enjoy. we dock and board an ox cart for a 20-minute ride to a resort where we’re to be provided with a thai-style buffet lunch. the ride was not very enjoyable, especially on the backside .

during lunch, i ask issanbeauty if her name really means ‘watermelon’, as our guide had claimed. i take a large piece of the watery fruit, pick out the seeds, and allow it to slowly dissolve in my mouth. “mmmmmm”, i moan, while making goo goo eyes at her .she leans over and punches me in the arm while the other couples, watching us, drop their jaws .

the afternoon’s activities include a visit to a factory where paper is manufactured from elephant dung, and a visit to a very lovely orchid farm.

in the evening, we go back to the night market for dinner. issanbeauty is very interested in my ancestry, so i tell her i’m one-quarter irish, scottish, german, and norwegian. “i fuck the world!, ” she boasts.

friday morning, i rent a suzuki cariban 4wd for a drive up the nearby mountain to wat prathat doi suthep, one of northern thailands top attractions. it takes about an hour to ascend the mountain road to the temple, more than a thousand meters above the city. after parking, i purchase 35 baht cable car tickets because issanbeauty refused to attempt the 300 step staircase. “lazy girl”, i complain.

the ‘golden temple’ is quite impressive, with magnificent views of the city and countryside. at the center, is a copper stupa flanked by huge ornamental umbrellas. issanbeauty shows me how to light candles and burn incense as an offering, and make a wish to the buddha. inside, a monk ties a string around my wrist for good-luck, and gives me another string to tie on issanbeauty.

we enjoy some mango and pineapple in the parking lot, then continue to ascend the mountain. the next stop is phuping palace, the winter residence of the royal family. the grounds are very nice, but hardly approaching the overindulgence of the palace at versailles. very modest by standards of monarchy, i’d say. it’s no wonder the thais love their king.

we sit for awhile on a bench in the rose garden. “what you wish for from buddha?” she asks me. i tell her, “i wished that you would love me.” “no love thai man. no love falang, ” she states very emphatically, “only room in my heart for my family. i only want your money.” isn’t such honesty refreshing?

it’s getting late into the afternoon, i want to continue up the mountain to the hmong hilltribe village, but issanbeauty is much less enthusiastic. “let’s go have a look, ” i tell her.

the road deteriorates significantly to the village, which resembles something from another century. the street is lined with small shops selling handicrafts, while opium poppies grow on the hillside. i find some fascinating stuff in the shops while issanbeauty, who complains about a headache and wants to leave, returns to the car.

key chains made from a tiger’s tooth, elephant paperweights made of ivory, what great christmas gifts, and for $4 or $5, with some bargaining. by the time i’m finished shopping, issanbeauty is really pissed off. she won’t speak to me during the 90 minute drive down the mountain. issanbeauty is giving me the silent treatment, but she finally opens her mouth when i make a wrong turn back to the hotel.

in our room, i reach into my bag and pull out a bottle of aleve. “take these, ” i tell her. a half hour later, her disposition is radically different. “you have very good medicine, ” she tells me, and starts rubbing my crotch. “you horny?” she asks.

taking advantage of her mood, i unbuckle my belt and drop my pants, and she gives me the full treatment. i barely have enough energy left to stagger into the bathroom and cleanup afterward.

for dinner, she orders issan food from the hotel, but i can’t taste it. sort of like putting burning embers in my mouth.

i awake saturday morning and practice my usual routine: lean up against issanbeauty’s magnificent naked body. i run my hand down her back and gently squeeze her tight butt, like mr. whipple testing the charmain. then, i reach around and rub her pussy. since i’d left my passport as a deposit on the car, i wasn’t able to cash traveler’s checks and hense, hadn’t paid issanbeauty for the previous day. “no touch my ass. no touch my pussy, ” she says, “you no pay. go get my money and i fuck you.”

i pull plastic from my wallet and explain that i don’t need money, i can have anything i want just by signing for it. “no want credit cards. no want atm. just want money. go get my money, ” she commands. i don’t believe she’s really serious, and think if i hang in there, she’ll cave in. and she does.

this time, however, i hump, hump, hump but nothing comes. she gets the body lotion and gives me a nice hj, but i’m still dry. “why you no cum?” she asks. i explain that i’m old, and have been doing one, two, and three shots per day for two weeks. i need a day to refill the tank.

today, i wish to visit the zoo, and stop at an atm along the way. the big buzz at the chaing mai zoo are the panda bears, who just arrived in october. we need a special ticket, and have to stand in line, but they’re very cute.

with one picture left in the camera, we head for the tiger habitat. a tiger is sleeping in the grass, too far away to capture on film. “meow. meow.” issanbeauty gives her big cat impersonation. the tiger just raises it’s head and looks around, as if to say: wtf?

back at the hotel, i put on a nice thai silk shirt. “why you make handsome?” issanbeauty asks. i explain that we’re going to the most popular night club in town, and i want to dress appropriately. “besides, ” i add, “if i make handsome, maybe you’ll fuck me for free?”

“never!” she exclaims, and storms off into the bathroom. meanwhile, i’m rofl.

we drive to the riverside bar and restaurant, on the east bank of the ping river, and sit at a candle lit table on the terrace, overlooking the river. issanbeauty is quite impressed.

“i sorry, darling. i cannot make good every day. is not me. sometimes i bad girl, stupid girl. i make falang so angry, not popular girl.” then, she points her nose in the air and shakes her head, “i don’t care. i don’t care. but you only smile. what you like about me? what you not like? i want to know.”

i’m trying hard to contain myself from laughing hysterically, this girl really knocks me out. i really don’t mind her antics, i find them quite amusing . i like a girl with attitude, i’ve found them to be better in the sack. issanbeauty is no exception, she’s given me some of the hottest sex i’ve ever had , especially when she times it so we cum together.

i remember our first encounter. she’s so pretty , i was wondering if she would turn out to be a starfish. then, she sits on the bed and says: “i like suck balls. you like?” so much for the starfish theory… after some invigorating oral stimulation, she grinds my tool. i sit up, to get my lips on the hard nipples protruding from her nice, perky tits. her tight pussy has transformed me into a raging, runaway locomotive so i lunge forward, bringing my 250 lb frame down upon this delicate flower. we’ve run out of real estate on the king size bed, her head drops off the edge. quickly, i slide my palm under the base of her skull so she won’t strain her neck, while not missing a beat with my thrusts. after she pops my cork, all i can think is: wow, is this girl hot.

answering her question honestly, i say: “i don’t like it when you bite. it hurts. but i like your tight pussy.” she starts singing thai songs until our food arrives.

after eating, we sit stage side and cycle through three bands. by closing time, i’ve consumed a couple mai tais, and 6 or 7 irish coffees. gotta give the irish credit, they’ll put whisky in anything. the rest of the evening is very blurrey .

i awake sunday, our last full day in chaing mai, and return the car after . since we’re both wasted, we re-retire until afternoon. then, i ask issanbeauty whay she would like to do, and she wants to visit wat pra singh in the city center.

we tuk tuk there, and issanbeauty and i lit candles and burn incense. in one corner of the compound, a basketball court is set up. i’m amazed. do the monks play basketball? how very cool .

we enter the viharn laikam, and i study the interior murals while issanbeauty prays. exiting the structure, i notice my nike tennis shoes are gone. issanbeauty says the first people to leave were a tall farang with a moustache, with a korean man and thai woman. she says they were just standing in the temple, and not worshiping. we wait until everyone leaves, and find an unmatched pair of shoes on the steps, a raggedy old pair of new balance tennis shoes, size us10.5. the glass is half full, at least the guy left his old pair behind. i’d hate to walk barefoot. hope this guy won’t return in his next life as one of those elephants that get whacked with the hook everyday.

we walk back to the hotel. about half way, my toes, jammed into the corners of these mangy ill-fitting shoes, begin to hurt, and i start waddling like a penguin. i tell issanbeauty i must get new shoes asap and we head for a large shopping center in the northwest corner of town.

one store has a large supply of tennis shoes, but no nike’s larger than us10.5. i ask the clerk if he has any shoes in the store size us12, and he produces a pair of hiking boots. my feet are very happy to have shoes that fit.

we stop at a restaurant on the second floor for a few beers. “i like bobby, my pom pui man, ” she tells me. “you like my money, ” i respond. “yes, ” she says, and we both toast our glasses . “first time, second time, just money, ” she says, “third time, fourth time i go with you, i like bobby.”

“you mean i don’t have to pay you today?” i inquire.

“fuck off, bobby” she answers, “i like you, i love you, then you have to pay more.”

back at the hotel, i give her the last installment. when we first met, she had quoted a price for long time that i said was too high, and she came down 500. i’ve been so impressed with her however, i’ve been paying her the higher amount anyway, plus an additional 200. every day, for the past 6 days. for this, she agreed to deliver two shots per day.

“here, i’ll trust you and pay in advance, ” isaid. “this covers tonight and tomorrow morning.”

“you want sex in the morning, you have to pay for short time.” she says.

“wait a moment, ” i counter, “long time covers evening and morning ”.

“20th, 21st, you fuck me three times, ” she says.

“i don’t remember that, ” i reply, “do you want to take the bus back to bangkok tomorrow?”

“i take bus, i don’t care, ” she says, as she rolls over to her side of the bed and falls asleep.

suddenly, i have no desire to have sex with her again, either tonight or tomorrow morning, even though i’ve already paid. i won’t ask for the money back, but i could recover most of it with a refund on her return plane ticket. it would give her something to think about on the eleven-hour bus ride. moreover, i’d just exchanged money at the shopping center, and when pulling travelers checks, exposed some $100 bills i kept for emergency. can i trust her in her current state, not to steal my money while i sleep? i look around the room, and her bag is packed. i decide there’s only one thing to do, it’s time to kick her to the curb. it’s 1:00 am and i still might be able to get a girl for the night. i’m not worried about her finding a place to stay, with the money i’ve given her she can easily afford to stay at any of the best hotels in town.

i get up, and tap her gently on the leg. “i’m going out, you’re free to leave now.” “where you go?” she asks. “you don’t care, ” i reply, “come on, i want you out. now.”

she peers up at me with her brown eyes, like a puppy dog, unbelieving. i make the hitchhiking motion with my hand towards the door. “come on. out. now. pronto.”

finally, she slowly gets up, goes into the bathroom to use the toilet, comes out and brushes her hair and fixes her makeup in the mirror. i stand there waiting, relieved she’s not going to make a scene. “and you’re right. you’re a stupid girl”, not being able to resist throwing an insult at her.

“what stupid girl?” she says sadly, “sorry you like me no more. sorry to miss you, ” and she extends her arm offering a handshake. i accept her offer and shake her hand, then open the door and tell her “good night, ” and she leaves.

what a terrible day, first i lose my shoes, now i lose my girl. it seems all the great times we’ve had the past several days have been erased. i won’t be able to enjoy all the pictures i took, because of her greed. but it’s my fault for giving her the money in advance. i decide it’s too late to go out, and start flipping the tv channels because i know i won’t be able to sleep. i have no regrets, but still feel positively awful . suddenly, i realize just how much i really like this girl. it’s not sex. her classy exit just makes it more difficult.

at 1:30, the phone rings. i recognize the desk clerk’s voice: “sorry. sorry. sorry.” he says, and hangs up. what’s this, did he dial incorrectly, or maybe she’s still on the premises. since i can’t sleep, i decide to go out for a walk.

as i get off the elevator, two elderly thai men smile at me. “she worry, ” one of them says. i see issanbeauty sitting in the lobby, crying . i take the seat next to her and say “i won’t stand to be treated like that. understand?”

“i sorry. i sorry, ” she says, with tears streaming down both cheeks. i invite her back upstairs, and she accepts.

after she showers, i suggest we get some sleep, but she wants to talk. “from now, i only good girl for you, no more bad girl, no more stupid girl. you good man, good heart. thank you, for bring me to chaing mai, give me money to take care me and my family.”

“i’m not doing anything noble, ” i assure her, “i’m just an old man having a fling with a young girl. i should feel ashamed.”

“you not old, ” she tells me, “i have many customers older than you.” i ask her if she’s happy working in the bar, and why doesn’t she find a nice thai man and settle down. she says she is happy, and wants to start her own business some day, a restaurant or internet shop.

finally, it’s time for the ‘make-up’ sex, and it’s sooooo gooooood .at 3:30, i request a wake-up call.

i awake before the call, and tell issanbeauty i’m going to the internet café across the street to check my email. i’m not going to bang her this morning, i don’t want to risk a controversy.

at the airport, she’s her usual jovial self again: locking arms, pinching my cheek, kissing me, and rubbing my belly. i fell very happy, too.

arriving back in bangkok, i offer to drop her at home, but she insists on accompanying me to the eastern bus terminal. normally, i take a taxi to pattaya, but i’ve overspent my budget.

when we get there, the bus is ready to leave. i give her 100 for taxi fare, take my seat on the bus, and wave , and blow her a kiss. as the bus is pulling away, she reciprocates both. thank you issanbeauty, for making my trip to chaing mai such a memorable experience. i’ll never forget you. every time i have watermelon, i’ll think of you.
