Tak was fresh off the Udon Thani Pattaya bus, and straight into a local bar when I met her early one morning in 2000. I was making dam good money at the time doing one month on and one month off. I paid the Mama San 500 baht to buy her out immediately.
She was reluctant to buy anything and was very thankful for the small gifts I bought. Great I thought, and then the other girls started whispering in her ear. She attracted an enormous amount of attention, and I was constantly asked, ‘Where did you find that one?
I was also rather new and shortly found myself up in Issan at a huge wedding party getting small rope bands tied around my wrist. Holy hell, I was getting married to a teenager. I’m surprised they didn’t tie me right up and take my well secured body to the local ATM and clean me out that day. Many attempts came later.
She had installed a payphone in her house, a very clever gal and learned English so fast it blew me away. She also liked girls, a lot… which she admitted after drinking one Singha beer. I decided out of pure desperation for her mental health we would visit the local bar and she could choose another possible partner besides me, this was the best part of our marriage. I became kind of an observing counselor. I was thanked in so many ways.
She constantly begged me to get her out of Thailand. Later she escaped and after I was long gone and I got a call from some Arab Trader in Bahrain wanting money because his new slave was not a very good seamstress. Wonder what ever happened to Tak.
