An Interesting Incident

[Falcon01]

Staying at a higher end hotel last trip. Went swimming and to the gym with a Thai lady, then back to the room to get ready to go out for dinner. I started to iron a shirt, and she was amazed that I knew how to iron clothes or that i would even do that instead of sending them out for the hotel staff. Anyway, she proceeded to take the iron from me and began showing me her own skills, like she could do it much better and faster. Well, with a little prodding and some generous compliments, she ended up ironing four shirts, two pair of trousers, and a pair of walking shorts. And to top it off, she found a loose button, and fixed that as well.

Just a small incident that stuck in my mind.

umm...good for you? But fyi this was neither interesting nor what one would classify as an incident. It is a general piece of information that is irrelevant to anyone except yourself & possibly the lady in question.

I am somewhat confused by the point of this post.

so you made a hooker iron your clothes? congrats?

Someone once cleaned my shoes.

Guess I was just wondering if something like that had happened to others. Might be relevant to others. Sorry if it bored or confused you. Maybe you live a much more interesting life then me

Now that you mention it, one lady had the good sense not to let me go out in white tennis shoes. She was right, gym use only!

My wife used to work 6 days a week in an office while i stayed home.

I did the washing and ironed her work clothes day for the next days work.

Quiet often she would fine fault with something on a shirt I ironed, which did not bother me anyway, a little amusing if anything.

I would watch her iron a shirt and she was meticulous , the shirt would be perfect when she finished.

I have noticed other things like her ironing that she does with perfection.

I just think it is the thai way for some to have pride in every thing they do.

There are a lot of people in this forum who post rubbish comments in everybody else's post.

Maybe they should do some ironing instead of typing

Agree fully. The lady in question also spent much time and great care with each item. She seemed to take it as a challenge to show me how a Thai would do it. I rib her in emails asking how the ironing is going.

My Mum used to work as an in store demonstrator for Morphy Richards and was taught how to iron shirts properly. She later taught me. I can iron a shirt that will make you weep with admiration

Here's a clue. Mods aren't part of The Collective - we all have different opinions.

Lucky you, and I say that in a good sense. I dislike doing it, most likely because I have not mastered the task.

very kinky, new age sex fetish?

Where did you meet her?

She is a translator - knew her for several years from long term work projects before any social contacts.

[Dancealot]

Perhaps she was 'misled' by thinking high end men don't iron their clothes.

My Thai lady washed the dishes today,

Reckon this post is too positive about Thai women for most...

Sure for me! When I meet a woman and she iron, cook and clean for me without asking, I get in a very turned on mood!

[Payboy]

I love it when they iron my shirts, more when they take care of the wood in my pants.

Don't listen to them, Falcon. There are always a few old miserable people who want to start an argument. I for one enjoyed your little story. It had a sweet, simple message in it. It is always the simple things that somehow touch us the most.

I'm glad that you enjoy such wholesome entertainment.

It was odd how such a simple post drew such negative responses. And you are right about often recalling the little things from past travels. I am not yet jaded, and still have a good outlook towards Thai people in general.

My wife just made me scrambled eggs with cheese. Brilliant.

The simple and best things in life are sometimes free ish.....

[Dancealot]

But alongside the ironing did she take care of your morning wood problem that day as well?

My husband killed a cobra in the kitchen once. and I only had to scream "snake" twice! He does take good care of me
