Authenticity of my friends Pattaya stories

[boone57]

I was wondering if I could get some of your opinions on the believe ability of my friends stories. I have never been to Pattaya. My friend was there for two weeks, his first visit to Thailand, during which time he said that he found a girl living under a bench who was fresh of the bus from the province. He said he gave her two thousand baht for a room and she agreed to meet him at he cheap hotel room everyday at six until he returned to USA.

Some time later I confronted him about anyone fresh from the province is not going to know but maybe a few words of English. So I asked him to favor me and explain how the hell he mimed out such an elaborate agreement right there on the street. So then he changed his story and said she was 28, had to kids back home, and could speak english.

Has any one ever seen a pretty girl living outside? It just seems she would have to many options available. I mean just go in the any bar and the establishment would see her a place to sleep just for being a wall flower.

He also said his room got broke into and the thiefs got some money. When I laughed at him he then explaned it was his "girl friends" money. Has anyone ever heard of a Thai girl stashing money in some cheap farangs $6 hotel room?

One last thing, he said after a few days all the girls on the strip would coo (and he mimicked it) "Hi Doug, hi Doug".

The word "Hi" means three different things in Thai depending on the tone. It seems highly unlikely to me that any Thai person would use it for its American meaning when they already have "Hello" which is not used in the Thai language.

Has anyone ever had any Thai say "Hi" as a greeting?

Thanks boys

Yes your friend is talking <deleted>. Talking <deleted> is a national pastime in Patters

Anything is possible in Thailand.

Ask your friend about his "ladyboy massage" experience.

"Hi" is harmless. But in other languages HI would be pronounced as "Heeee" in English. Depending on pronunciation "Heee" in Thai can mean "P*ssy".

Other than that, every story originating from Pattaya is automatically true, because everything happened at one time and place before in real Pattaya-life. A bad turf for novel and fiction-writers.

Cheers.

Ask to see a photo of her. A picture tells a thousand stories!

first off. there are very few pretty girls in pattaya. if you saw there customers you would know why(not least pattaya is known for cheap everything).

Let me tell you about the good old days: Plenty of pretty girls. The "ladies" used to buy fruits from food stalls as an in-between-snack. Today, they come back from the food stalls with in oil and fat drenched "snacks" !

Bars along Beach road, still somewhat OK. But 200 meters east of it (Second Road), ranging from Pattaya-Tai all the way up to Central, to me: Porkers-and fat-ass avenue!

They must have formed a union: If you are not overweight and equipped with a fat-ass plus aggressive behavior, you are not allowed to work in this bar! Modern times, I suppose.

Cheers.

yes i to remember a time when all the girls were whip thin ,a fat one would have stood out and people would have touched her for luck ,nearly all the girls were pretty and 500 baht all night and next day was the norm , but listen to your friend "every Pattaya tale" is true its just that on going home they get better and better as the months go by waiting for them to happen again. then one day you come to live here and reality tends to take over

Back in the UK, nobody believes the Thailand stories.

It can't be that cheap and easy to bed a girl (of any, age, shape or size) they all say.

You guys are all forgetting you are living the dream!

What the hell? There are plenty of beautiful gals in Pattaya. Go into Alcatraz on Walking Street and you'd have to be blind if you don't see a whole stage of knockout beautiful women. Many of these gals do come from Isaan. Just because they come from the country doesn't mean they don't speak English, or learned to say the word "Hi." It's an igorant presumption to think that Thai girls coming from "the country" are stupid. Try living here for a few years and you'll see who's stupid, if you want to generalize - the farangs who hang around the bars in Pattaya. I've seen enough crazy things in Pattaya to fill a book. That town is filled with real true stories that nobody in your family would ever believe, but what good does it do to tell them. If the guy who started this blog wants to know the truth about Pattaya, then buy the ticket and spend a few days on Soi 6. After you find out that that hot gal you're buying drinks for and thinking about having sex with is a ladyboy, you'll be telling your friends stories they won't believe too. The last guy I Claudius was right - live the dream - don't be in judgment - get your lame ass to Pattaya and live your dream, and let your friend have his.

Your friend is Munchausen baron

Ask him about his other stories, like these:

- when he have given fire to the dragon with 7 heads,

- when he have punsihed a policeman about damning,

- when he was asked to be the Pattaya governor and he rejected,

- when he have took the lottery first prize three times in same day,

.....

- or when he was failed and a bigfoot ladyboy has fuc-ke-d his ass .

Alright, let me simplify things.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A GIRL LIVING UNDER A PARK BENCH OR TABLE? Yes or no please.

[wym]

Sleeping yes, living no.

Best SO I ever picked up in Pattaya was living in a tin-shack & plastic sheet-tent shanty town with her cousin's family, all of them doing hard labour hoisting bricks and mortar etc up and down bamboo scaffolding on a condo building site for < B200 a day and picking trash after work.

Teleconference negotiations with her parents back on the farm upcountry, few local Thais to vouch for me that I wasn't a white slaver and bob's your uncle.

She learned some English in the four months she stuck around and then headed for greener pastures. But good while it lasted. . .

Is he ex SAS/Delta Force, drives a Ferrari back home and once fought off 9 attackers using only his bare hands and (well concealed) wits? I might have met him in Pattaya.

[HeavyDrinker]

I'm sure every expat/tourist centre has their own variants to these themes. I was just talking about expat apocrypha with Big Fat Dave this evening...rummy....

In Pattaya everyone's girl is either "fresh off the farm"

or "has only been in the bar for a week"

and

"different to the other girls"

not to mention the old classic, "putting out for free (just for them as they're so handsum) in return for a bowl of rice a day and a bed in a cheap shoebox like apartment".

It's Pattaya's version of the delusional Boiler room scammers in BKK who (judging from the ir lame trolls posts here) seem to reckon all the 19 year old Hi-so Chula Graduate Thai Chinese virgins with Medical degrees are queueing up around the block to get to them especially those whose fathers own half of Bangkok and theres always a high ranking police or military officer in the family too.and anyone who doubts the truth of their claims is a miserable broke old failure....
