When I was a newbi tourist many eons ago I used to:

- Wai to people, tinking it was a good thing to immitate the local culture...

- getting tricked by the tuk-tuk drivers' temple/massage/diamond scams...

- paying too much for shit at markets, should've bargained like most people do...

- paying too much for bargirls...

- tipping the soapy and massage girls to much...

- overpaying the gogogirls for their services...

- barfining a coyote dancer, saw her next night at a disco freelancing...

Dear Tilac,

I love and miss you so much. Now I have big pomprem. I tell you before that my buffalo me sick. Now it die. Fall down dead in middle of rice field. but, when it fall, it land on Papa and break him leg in three places. Now he not work.

Brother me make stretcher from bamboo he take from loof of house. Now roof collapse and rain get in house. Brother she take Papa to hospital on motocycle. She have accident coming home. Run into police car. Brother me to blame. Police say we have to pay big money.

Motocycle OK. Police car no good. Now give Mama have heart pomprem. Doctor say she need triple bypass. I not understand what is, he say you know. If you not help me I have to go with many, many farang to pay bill. The old people in my village in Roi-et say it all your fault. If you give me money to buy medicine for sick buffalo when I ask you, then it not die, Papa not break leg, house still have loof, brother not ride into police car and Mama not have heart pomprem.

Please send for me 200,000 baht for my bank.
Papa fix: 10,000,
new loof:30,000,
New police car 100,000:
Mama fix:50,000.
I take off 2,000 bht for sell buffalo meat, but have to pay more hospital bill for 24 people have pomprem eat no good meat - 12,000bht.

I not know money England but my friend me say it about 54.4564 baht to GBP.
This mean you send me 7,419.1227 English money. Big money for me, little money for you.

I love you too much long time. Tikka

- tipping the soapy and massage girls to much... actually, I'll fess up and admit I've never had a 'soapy' massage ... are they worth it ... a bit of fun?

- barfining a coyote dancer, saw her next night at a disco freelancing ... wise after the fact ... couldn't help that one.

The oldies are the goodies Chris smile.png

Some years ago I told my wife about the 'sick buffalo' stories emanating from assorted BKK bars.

Some weeks later we're out for a walk when we came across the local 'buffalo chap' moving his charges to a fresh mud patch.

A conversation ensued after which my good lady suggested he would rent us a young buffalo, deliver same to Soi Cowboy and take it into a bar for 'Noi' (substitute random bar name) as a replacement from 'Peter' for the one that had died.

Never actually had the nerve to do it but I can imagine the looks smile.png

One for a Thai version of Candid Camera perhaps?

Tipping 1,000 Baht for a soapy massage.

Yes, David, they ARE good fun.

They USED TO be fun. The services isn't good anymore as before. That's why I don't think tipping too much is needed.

But get there early before the coach parties arrive, the smell can be off putting.
