Girl In Bar Needs Saving

[The Gentleman Scamp]

Thailand does funny things to people.

She is actually very pretty, but very petite and a little shy of her body, probably due to stretch marks.

I don't know when I'll next be in Phuket to see her but I hope she's doing okay and I will call her in the next couple of days and see if a meeting can be arranged.

It would be interesting if the outcome was posted for all to see, and if it doesn't work out then I will point DragonLad's friend in her direction once he's been here a week or two.

I already have a good lead, I just need her permission to give her number out.

Are you sure you weren't rod_kalashnikov?

If you had been around long enough you would know that Scamp was here a tad before Mr AK47....

And I was here a tad before Mr. Scamp, but not as Mr. Infidel. I just didn't say anything. ThaiVisa isn't quite my cup of tea.

I have the honour, and I don't use the word lightly, of knowing who the guy who used to post as rod_kalashnikov really is. He's regarded like Mother Theresa by bargirls whose lives he touched. I was complimenting Mr. Scamp by comparing him with Mr. AK47, not taking the piss.

To compare Rod to Mother Theresa is drawing a very long bow I reckon

He comes across more like Tony Soprano than Mother Theresa, but it's all an act. I've seen the side he keeps hidden, the side that offers a helping hand to those unfortunates no-one else will help. The lovely teenage daughter of one of our Thai friends owes her beauty to plastic surgery he paid for to remove a horrible purple birthmark which covered half her face when she was born, for example. It would have taken our temple years to collect enough spare money to pay for that operation, and the girl would have spent her childhood disfigured. Her mother is only one of many former bgs and abused mail order brides we've met through charity work with our local temple who think he's possessed by the spirit of Kuan Yin. Sometimes I almost believe it myself.

----------------------------------------------------------

This is Mrs. Infidel adding my 2 cents worth.

When I was 16 years old I was lured into a life of prostitution by a woman who promised me a lifestyle beyond my wildest dreams. I spent a year and a half of a 4 year contract working for a Chinese Triad as an escort in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, during the Vietnam war. Most sex workers from that era went downhill to become low paid bar girls, then brothel workers, then street walkers, and sometimes beggars. Many took their own lives rather than continue to live without hope. I'm one of the fortunate few whose dreams came true. I got out of that life in one piece with some pride and self respect left and my health intact. A handsome young Marine bought my time for a week, fell in love with me, paid out my contract, sent me home to my village and supported me, came back for me after his tour, took me with him to America, sent me back to school, then on to University where I studied at night and between having children and finally received my honours degree in Psychology in 1986. Today that handsome young Marine is my husband of 32 years, father of my 4 beautiful daughters, and grandfather of my 7 beautiful grandchildren.

I've never met "rod_kalashnikov". My husband met him during the war, and again since then in Australia where we've lived since 1988. I read every word he wrote on ThaiVisa. His reminiscences of his time in Thailand in the 1960s and 1970s brought smiles to my lips and tears to my eyes. I knew girls like those he described, and I saw a sad reflection of myself in some of his stories. I was sad to see him banned, and I'm even sadder that he hasn't returned. We're not VIP Members, but a friend sent us his last post from the VIP Forum yesterday. Some of the seemingly meaningless ramblings he made in earlier posts fell into place when we read those terrible words. I e-mailed him yesterday, but his ISP is dead. Now we're sorry we didn't make contact with him while he was here. If anyone here is in touch with him, please ask him to contact us.

"Gentleman Scamp", your heart is in the right place. We wish you well in your effort to find a good man for your friend.

I would say it would be a longer bow to compare scamp to Rod

I understand Mr Scamp. The one thing I do not understand is   it sounds as if your coming across as if he has to play the field??   What if he is not that type of man.  He knows a little of thailand and I know him well enough to know he would not enjoy the barscene for long.  Well it is up to your friend of course and I hope she finds what she wants.  but by the sounds of your reply the pickings sound not at all the best.    good luck to her.

I think I know what Scamp is saying... If the guy has never been to Thailand before he may be bowled over by how many great looking women there are to choose from. It strikes me that Rose may not be among the 'better looking' females and therefore she would get let down yet again, if your friend decided to play the field. Scamp 'knows' the girl quite well it seems and is trying to make sure that somebody is interested more in her 'character' than her appearance. He is looking after 'her' interests first and foremost. And so he should as a friend.

Statements like "but by the sounds of your reply the pickings sound not at all the best. " Will do nothing to instill confidence in Scamp. It would not do it for me. So maybe Scampy is right on this occasion.

what i meant by that statement about the "pickings" I am not too familiar with the barscene in thailand and from what I have heard it's not the greatest place to be after a while for both patron and bargirl. Or I could be wrong, Actually I do not want to find out. I know my friend well enough that he would not like it for long either. that is if he did go to these places. He has heard of them also and he felt bad for the girls. I guess that's a first impression you get. correct?

His fellow soldiers went to the places and of course he got reports from them on how it was. Well back to the "pickings" I meant the men for her are not the best choices, Everyone deserves someone nice and someone who they can get along with. Don't you think? He(My Friend) is not after a beauty queen, he said he has had them and they were not what he thought they were.

It is up to Scamp's friend, I just thought I would ask on my friend's behalf and if I have said anything wrong I apologise.

a few that disguise themselves as doers of good deeds when really they should just take their skint buts back home and come back when they have the money to take care of themselves. or should I say when they have the brains to take care of themselves without whinging: I should't have to pay this, I can't get my work permit from the company, I don't want to survive on teachers pay, etc., etc...
