Pattaya Reports

[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2561429]Because the bars are closed, I have to improvise, so I invited some ladies to my place. They brought a freezer chest filled with beer and food, and I bought a bottle of Sangsom. The deal was that I paid them 50 baht to drink a shot of tequila (after the beer and Sangsom were finished). But, they had to remove clothing for every shot. The tequila was the real stuff from Mexico, not the ethyl alcohol sold in bars. They like Baht and they like the tequila, so it was a good deal for them.

Pretty soon, I had a bunch of naked ladies cavorting around my condo.

Good thing I have soundproof doors and no neighbors.[/QUOTE]Don't let on-the-ground members here go on doubting you are in Thailand. Save yourself long stories and PM me so that we can have a drink. My mailbox is not full.

The next day she sent a message with attached photo, telling she went drinking with friends and got drunk and could not come. Of course I knew there was more to the story if it was true in the first place.

Met her today, and she was talking a bit about the party she went, telling bit by bit, kind of peeling the story like an onion but not really telling much detail nor full story. But your post came to my mind as it kind of sounded a bit what you described happened, so wonder if the pic is actually from your place. Or is it really just a coincidence someone having similar type of event in another place in the same town the same night?

[QUOTE=Allover;2561379]I never cease to be amazed at how bad Thai girls are at geography. Most are completely clueless.[/QUOTE]Me too. I have a habit of asking them where they are from. Usually they just say name of province or major city nearby their hometown / village.

Next question is what is name of the town / village, and is it north / west / east / south of the major city they mentioned to start with. I think more than 50% look like they have no idea what I am talking about, and indeed they could not say, no idea about N / S / E / W. Amazing.

You are talking about the country that opened Hitler Chicken and sells racist stuffed animals on the street. Most people on the planet do not leave outside of the place they were born. You take for granted that you are fortunate enough to not only be educated in certain subjects, but travel the world. Know your audience.

Come on guys. Why the disdain and contempt for Bargirls.

However before we knock Thai girls, I have found Americans to be remarkably ignorant of geography as well. Examples are confusing Australia and Austria; having no idea where some African countries are and even thinking Africa is a country.

Understandable they can not put Benin on a map or tell what is capital of Equador, or even to know which country the sponsor comes from. But not to know whether your live south, north, east or west of your local 'capital' still amazes me every time, even if it happened many times. Thai language must have the concepts of directions though as they use terms North, North-East and South Thailand in many situations, but maybe that indeed is only for the educated ones, taught only in college. You are right in saying that should not expect much even in terms of local geography understanding, having the mapping system here that is really not to map any location, rather just for land registry use (for which is okay). Before GPS location not really any practical local location system.

Actually last night had a case of this again. Was dropping the gal that I mentioned in previous post joining the party to her room after our meeting. When reached (in Bongkot), she said shit she had forgot her key inside the room, she need to try to find her roommate. Okay I said need to go eat something now I hungry, went to a place in 3rd road. In the meantime she called her to get the key and after the call the roommate sent her location to line of the gal. Once finished eating she told me ride to Pattaya Tai, her roommate is there in her friend room drinking. I was stupid enough not to look where the point actually was on the map, and just asked once were approaching Sukhumvit, and the navigator she had turned on after leaving the restaurant, pointed to turn to Suk. After turning there I stopped the bike, and took her phone to look where the place actually is. It was in Arunotai Soi 9 (not Pattaya Tai), almost opposite to Nirun. Fuck, you ask me to ride to Pattaya Tai if your friend is in Arunotai. 'Solly, I not long time here and don't know Pattaya roads, Arunotai or Pattaya Tai is the same to me, Im solly' was the answer. WTF. Guess she only knows Soi 6, Buakhao, Bongkot, Central and Beach road. And only moves between those by taxi or mototaxi. Something over 5 km ride to a place that about 1 km from the place we left from if gone straight there, actually less than km from her room.

Lesson to learn: Never trust a Thai about locations, always check and make sure you know where you are supposed to go before you start moving.

[QUOTE=DannyDuck;2561629]You need to pay more so Cancelling is not an option.[/QUOTE]Well I have no problem with cancellations done in time, but have problem to pay more. Same as someone in front of me picking the last tomatoes of a seller in market I buying my veggies, I will not pay more to her to stop the other person buying. I just walk to another stand and buy at same or lower price 555. Supply is plentiful, not much chance for price manipulation.

[/QUOTE]I do not know where you are from, but I am from America and there are tons of people here that do not know either and they had ample opportunity to learn it in school. These people are turning left by the big oak tree, not going northwest on Highway 7. Next you will be surprised how many people that drive do not know the highway from Pattaya to Bangkok is Route 7. They just know the way to go.

I'm from northern Europe. Yeah, I guess similar everywhere in that regard, people just live in their local reality, whatever it is. Guess they wonder equally how people like me do not know the Oak tree is because everyone they know knows, it has always been there how can someone not know. Or why we ask if should go all the way via 7 or take 34 rather than talking about which side of the oak tree we should take where the road splits.

Actually, I have visited homes of two chicks on the sticks, and it was as you said, they knew the way there (both had cars before though). But yes I guess they had no idea of the highway numbers that I was looking to get there, they just know their way home like a dog, or an eel to Sargasso sea.

But have to say where I come from, hard to find people who don't know NSWE. But probably have those too somewhere 555.

Another off-topic (distantly related) case came to my mind, once you mentioned America, I was living & working in CA for some years long time ago when I was still young (still handsome in Pattaya though!). In early days of my time there, we were planning how to organize a factory trip to China that was needed for some production ramp-up. Turned out that one guy (mechanical engineer or technician by education) who kind of should be in the team, did not have passport. I was like what, how come a 35 year old not have passport. In my reality really there were no people without passport, as in Europe you needed it to go neighboring country (as this prior to EU). His team leader just calmly (jokingly though) said that Americans really do not need passport as they can go everywhere in the world with ID/drivers license, meaning that Mexico and Canada (presumably) did not need passport for a visit, and that's it! World done 555.

Better than talking to yourself. Don't be shy. LOL.

[QUOTE=Explorer8939;2561796]Not my place, I wouldn't serve such crappy tequila.[/QUOTE]555 okay. So there is at least another guy who had quite similar event the same night, somewhere in Jomtien area I understood. But that fellow is seemingly low class then.

Also, one specific point she emphasized that even if there were several girls played off their clothes and drinking, he only took one for boomboom so really must be a cheap charlie!

I guess she was just telling to create impression that she only went to party that night. Believes who wants. Anyway, entertaining incidents during these quiet times.
