Tours Anyone?

I was chatting with a former Thai tourguide.

He worked for a company that arranged package tours for busloads of falangs.

He compared the groups to flocks of sheep and he was the Shepard herding them around.

They kept the bus really cold on purpose. They would stop often so the tourists could do

some shopping and he thought that going from a really cold bus to really hot streets a bunch of times a day would make a certain percentage of them sick, which was a good thing as it would keep them in their rooms at night and not bother him.

It would also tire them all out, which was also good as he didn’t want them to go off shopping on their own and cheating him out of his due commission.

He was really proud of the nighttime culture shows he created. He would hire a few local Akha people that were hanging around to make some noise and dance around a campfire on the beach in Tat Thon. He even brought the instruments; little drums and cymbals.

The entire nights entertainment for 50 people only cost him 200 baht and “falangs liked this sort of thing” he said.

Making merit

It is such a quaint little Thai thing to buy and release those little birds sold on the streets.

I think the idea is that by freeing a captured animal you are doing a good deed.

A Thai told me the birds are trained to fly back home after the release where they are

collected and re-sold day after day.

I guess it’s the thought that counts.

Coffee

Did you know that the “Brazilian” coffee sold in coffee shops in Thailand

is grown in Thailand?

Apparently, there is a very high import duty on coffee, so most everyone sells

the local bean.

They just call it whatever the falang wants to hear.

...or so I'm told.

There are a bunch of broken down old bargirls here in the States who are married to falangs.

We were talking one day about them lying to their husbands so I asked them

why that was necessary.

One of them replied that if they told them the truth, they would get mad, so they had to lie.

They all agreed with this concept.

One old bargirl had permission to go out with my wife to the casino every weekend.

She wore dowdy old housewife clothes as she kissed her husband good bye and then went around the side of the house where she had tossed out the window a bag full of her other clothes, miniskirt, support bra, etc…

They would then hook-up with their other broken down bargirl buddies who were doing the same thing and go bar hopping, weed smoking and boy chasing while their faithful husbands watched the kids.
