Dear Hillary,
I have been to Thailand more than 20 times, but on my last visit, I actually got a “knock back” from a bar girl. This shook me for quite a while, well 30 seconds at least. As I have been so many times, and have a lot of Thai friends, I have picked up quite a bit of the Thai language. The reason for my knock back was that I was a farang who spoke Thai – not very well, but Thai too much. Although my ego was shattered, I pulled myself together and continued to enjoy my night out, and the rest of my stay. I have my 25th visit planned for Xmas/New Year, and you are very welcome to join me and my friends for an evening out, with guaranteed Champagne and unlimited chocolate. I love to read the Pattaya Mail from here in the UK, and maybe if you decide to accept my invitation, you could go to the bar in question, and politely tell the pretty young lady that she made a big mistake. I have a very good heart, but she made a big mistake there.
David
Dear David
Ooooh what a lovely man you are. Champagne and unlimited chocolates! What a shame it wasn’t chocolates and unlimited Champagne (French, vintage, of course) and I would have come immediately, my precious Petal. However, since you have been here umpteen times already, you will no doubt realize that the chances of the pretty young lady still being in that particular bar are not high. Come to think of it, the chances of the ‘bar’ still being there are probably not all that good either. Just remember that there are plenty of other pebbles on the beach (which can be viewed on Wednesdays when the deckchairs are missing), and Hillary is sure you will have another wonderful time this year too. Keep learning Thai – as you have already found out, you can be surprised at what you can pick up – or how you can be put down.
