Hi Hillary,
I had very unusual experience after 11visits in Pattaya. I met young girl at the bar who look nervous. She told me she is 21 but she look younger. At my condo she look more nervous. Answering my questions she said she is 19 and have one year old baby, studied marketing and all jobs paying baht 300 a day and she can’t survive on that you know she pay mama and room and food I felt so bad for her and she started crying admitting that this her first week working as bar girl. During the action, she was shaking like a leaf. I really felt sorry she was very pretty. Her mom is 42 and I am 67. I am even too old for her mother. I come here to have fun with young girl but I have a heart too. I realized that the salary here is baht 300 for most jobs of none skilled girls. It’s a shame. Many girls I met in the past said the same about the low salary that drove them to become bar girls. Good for us horny old men but bad for the girls. I don’t think girls are dreaming about becoming bar girls. They are just victims of very sad circumstances.

Dear Deon,
I have the very strong feeling that you are pulling my leg, as you say in your country. You say you have had 11 visits to Pattaya and meeting a young bar girl was an unusual experience. Am I to believe this is the first time in 11 visits you have been given the sob story of baby, pay Mom, rent room, low salary. All that was missing was the sick buffalo and the brother’s motorcycle accident. You say they are just victims of very sad circumstances. Piffle. You are the victim of the sad circumstances. 67 years old and taken in by a bar girl’s tears. You think of yourself as the great white hunter and benefactor. You’re not Petal. You are the hunted. (Ask any long stay expat, you’ll find them sitting outside a 7-eleven, and they will confirm this.)
