The Random Guys At The Pubs Who Tell You Their Life Stories

[zzaa09]

Conversation with the Thai cow girls can be a light on the intellectual...

Some people you do meet have stories so unbelievable that they are probably true. Once met an old Arab airline pilot; he told me he was test flying some new plane for the airline he was working for. He told me he remembered Sukhumwit when it had palm trees and a lady could be had for 30 baht.

I love those old, old storys. Back when gi's could get laid for a bar of soap, etc.

Well, it wasn't that cheap.....but it certainly was a much better value than what passes for today. And in those days, the girls were nicer and still wholesome - regardless of their working status.

There is a lady who has been selling food at the market at Kilo Sip across from the entrance to U-Tapao airport for 40 years. She has an odd heart shaped tattoo on the back of her neck. She is now around 65 years old. I knew her in a biblical sense 40 years ago when I was in my 20's. I was walking with some young friends at the market last year. It was Song Kran and the ladies were a bit tipsy. We bought some food from said lady and one thing led to another and the old woman decided to entertain my group with a recitation of our adventures when I was a young soldier. GF did not take kindly to the story. I kept repeating, "sweet Jesus woman it was 40 years ago." She, "you no good cheating Falang butterfly." "All same." "Men no good."

Some things never change.

Luckily I have only met two women in modern Thailand that I knew when I first arrived here in the 1960's.

You can never cross the same river twice. The river changes with the passage of time. Sometimes the river gets bigger and sometimes it dries up.

I believe it's but a handful {if that} whom can recall the "good old days".

What a story!

I was once at school picking up my son and realized that a mother picking up her daughter was someone whom I knew -- well -- in my wild youth of nearly 20 years prior (and yes, I took a close look to see if she had any older kids with her that looked familiar...); she had noticed me too but stopped staring when I saw her and we both walked off with in different directions with our kids.

I thought about speaking to her but thought it might be inappropriate (Who's was that Falang, Mom?)

Well you have to remember the ladies are looking for a better life, be it with a farang or Thai with a bit of money. All working girls have to retire someday, hopefully they have netted their husband by then, otherwise its a life of poverty from then on. I am sure this is the grand plan for most of them.

No lady who has upped her status wants to admit she was once a hooker

True, but that would also apply to most other people as well. I would hazard a guess that at least half the population everywhere has skeletons in their closets that they don't want to be made public. Frankly, I don't see a lot of difference between the average Thai hooker and many other women in most every other society. It is only sex and how we perceive it. The whole frigging world revolves around sex. It's only narrow minded people who want to make it into something ugly. And, that is usually because they've been brainwashed by perverted religious fanatics who want to manipulate people.

Never could understand how embedded religious character, ethics, and morals have any relationship with one another - as most modern spirituality is based on falsehoods. Like any such political identity and extension of social engineering, the manipulation is quite easy for the forces that be.

Should be the top urban myths you have heard at the bar,

Ex SAS,

Pilots,

Woke up with a katoey by accident but bummed it anyway,

I don't mind chatting away and whatever makes people happy, some stories are funny others are just total BS.

BUT it makes for a different night out eh. Not met one (chum) yet but am looking forward to the encounter.

Please remember ALL our special service guys have a life after their minds sacrifice for our cause.

The difference between Thai hookers and many other women in most every other society? Thai hookers like sex more.

A few years ago I found myself at a hotel bar near Heathrow enjoying a few late drinks. I step outside for a smoke and am joined by a young lady who it turns out is a stewardess with BA.

After chatting for a few minutes she convinced herself I was a "stripey boy". Of course I denied any such profession what with me being an MI6 agent and all but she wasn't to be fooled and invited me upstairs for a nightcap.

Nowadays I always bring my pilot uniform on holiday....I've got quite a collection these days....and can be found hanging around such hotels from Brisbane to LAX....never fails....!

Of course in the spirit of this thread most of this story is BS but not all.... ...you see some girls just won't take no for an answer!

It helps it you speak Issan. Sit in a bar and listen to what the ladies are saying about the customers who walk in. The questions they ask one another are not about financial concerns.

GF is out of town for the holidays so I have spent the week cruising around town, stopping occasionally and having a soda.

This week of course the ladies are a bit drunk most of the time but their conversation more resembles sailors on shore leave. And the poor old guys coming down the stairs afterwards look about to die.

You know how after a massage you are given a cup of tea and told to sit for a bit while your body recuperates from the massage. It's like that. Afterwards, the women help the fellow who looks like he has just run a marathon to the bar and give him a glass of water and tell him to wait a minute to rest before he walks out. (caveat, women over 30 years of age)

The women are not shy about talking because they think you have no idea what they are saying.

I am sure professional football players play for the money. But I also think they love the game. It reminds me of that.

Wondered why Thailand is still getting lots of foreign investment when to be honest its got quite expensive here and there are better places to invest. So sex does make the world go round?

You have hit the nail on the head. Thailand is a male dominated country run by women.

The INTERNET is so popular because of porn. No one can really talk about that but the reason all the nerds figure out how to do things on the net is so they can download porn on the sly, business is only a byproduct of sex.

The reason the baht is strong is because the TPI.

The TPI is a little known index used by investors in the know. Thai P***y Index. Ask yourself, would Song Kran work without women?

All over the world women are out beating the drums for equality. In Thailand they are buying gold rings. Women in Thailand know they have to let men think they are in charge for the system to work.

The lubricant that makes Thai industry hum is not oil of the Middle East but the tears from the maidens of Issan.

True that, Mark. I was in an internet cafe in Kanchanaburi last January and a Thai man was sitting beside me going through some soft porn sites. I couln't help but notice because we were only inches apart from each other. Then, what had to be his wife came into the shop, followed by 3 young children. It was hilarious how quickly the Thai man shut down his porn site. He barely got it closed in time.

Thailand is a male dominated country run by women.

A truer and sound matriarchy. It's just that no one mentions it!
