Went for Chicken Rice, Almost Came Home with a Fiancee: Now What, Mates?
Was sitting at me favourite local khao man gai stall this arvo, you know, the one on the corner there on Central Road by that 7-Eleven with the three dodgy dogs sleeping in front. Just me, a plate of boiled chicken and rice, two bowls of that clear soup with the boiled radish and a Chang beer to keep me gob well lubricated. Proper peaceful. Then this fella on a motorbike pulls up next to mine, tries to park, and lightly taps me old scooter. Not a proper smash, just a little nudge that made it tip over with a clang. I weren’t fussed, a friend heading back to Blighty for 9 months donated it to me the other day. The bike’s well aged and looking worse for wear than some of them old slappers on Soi 6, and there weren’t a scratch that wasn’t there before. Bloke jumps off straight away, full of apologies, says he’ll pay for any damage. I wave him off, tell him it’s nothing. So he goes and pays for me lunch instead and brings over another Chang. Top bloke, I’m thinking. We get to chatting, couple of geezers with sweaty brows and cold beers. Turns out we’ve crossed paths before, had a laugh trying to get the same temperamental ATM to work outside Central Festival about a month back. We were both swearing at the machine and ended up going to another one next door together. One thing leads to another, and he goes, “Do you have girlfriend now?” I tells him nah, just enjoying meself out here. He whips out his phone and shows me a pic of his sister, early thirties, proper sort, big almond shaped eyes, works as a nurse at one of the government hospitals in Patts. Says she’s looking for a kind bloke and reckons I could be the ticket. Then he starts giving me the full family CV, says he’s got one brother who works construction up in Nakhon Sawan, and another brother who’s a policeman here in Pattaya. Before I can even think, he’s already tapping his screen, and next thing I know we’re on a video call with his sister. She picks up looking half-asleep in her nurse’s scrubs, eyes wide with confusion as some sweaty farang is waving from a plastic chair next to a chicken cart. I stammered a few words, then pretended the signal was cutting out and killed the call. Gotta admit, I was tempted. She looked like a doll. But truth is, I’ve had one messy break-up too many in my long history of bad dating choices and I’m only a couple months into me nine month break out here. Last thing I need is getting roped into dinner dates with someone’s sister, having the whole family expecting wedding bells, and knowing one of the brothers has a badge. I’ve come to Thailand to clear me head, not fill it with more drama. So I told him she looked lovely, but I’m keeping me head down for now. He took it well, finished his lunch, wished me the best, and off he went into the traffic like nothing happened. Funny how you can go for a quiet plate of chicken and end up with your bike on the ground and nearly video calling your future in-laws. -

I think that is most of them. The louder and more in your face they are, the more likely it is they are a kiddie diddler. -
