In Samui now - Lamai. This place has really gone downhill and the women are definitely not as attractive as they used to be.
I keep telling myself I'm not going to shore bar girls and then do it anyways. It's too easy not too, and all you have to do is show up to the after-hours club late at night (goes until about 7 or 8 am) and mention to them that you're tired to get the ball rolling. The bartenders at the club keep giving me shit when some girl starts hanging on me and I delay pulling the trigger because I want to have a couple drinks before I seal the deal. Every time the girl looks away, they make mock hip thrusts while pointing at her and then me and then at the door. lol
I love how the guys bond with you and root you on when they realize you're just stopping in to shore every night. All these Thai guys who work in the tourist areas are shoring the shit out of women too, so they definitely get it, and I think they like meeting farang guys who get it too. I think it's been over 4 years since I was here last and a lot of these cats still remember me. The women are all new faces though - aside from a few here and there, Lamai seems to be a bit of revolving door.
It blows my fucking mind that men value pussy so much that they'd pay for something that's seen so much dick, often on a sub-par female who is itching for you to fuck. Let's face it, when she wants you more than you want her, you'd be fucking insane to pay for the shit. The whole idea of it goes against the basics of fucking economics! My new line when a girl balks at a no-pay agreement is to nonchalantly say (in thai): "If I don't have lady, I don't die." Learned it from a Thai guy and it seems to be a good light-hearted way to point out that there pussy is not a premium for you.
One girl I'd already banged hunted me down in the club one night and was hovering over me. Then, near the end of the night, I mentioned something about going to get some sleep, and she asked if I was going to pay (even though I'd already banged her for free before). I said sorry for wasting your time and relocated on the other side of the bar to chat up some other girls. It took her barely more than 5 minutes to "accidentely" end up standing next to me again, where conversation was re-initiated and she went back to offering a shore and telling me that she loved me..."really really really." Whatever these girls get out of it, it's obviously more valuable to them than us. So if our dick, or our attention, is so important to them, why in the hell would we ever throw down money on it? And then most of these so-called pros aren't even that good of a lay. sometimes it seems like they should be the ones paying us if they want it so bad.
Yet so many farang guys who come here don't seem to get what a premium their dick is to these bar girls and farang-lovers.
Later that night, I tried to sit that one down on my toilet while we were taking a shower and take off her monster bush with my beard trimmer. lol She freaked out and wouldn't let me do it, so she's been nexted. Strange how some of them can grow such huge bushes and have so little hair on the rest of their body...
I met the hottest, sweetest-looking girl in Sound Club with her "mom" the other night and got her number. I'd like to pretend she isn't a bar worker, but she dances way too sexy for there not to be some ambiguity in there somewhere (not to mention she was in Sound Club). I think I fucked it up when I talked to her on the phone and accidentley said "pussy" in Thai when I was trying to say something else. hahaha She gave an excuse to get off the phone immediately and didn't answer the next time I called.
I miss being in Chiang Mai or BKK, where you actually have a choice to go out to the right venues and hit on regular girls. If I stayed here (in tourist-central) for too long, I think having a regular girlfriend would be a necessity to keep myself in check. I'm really not looking forward to slamming used-up bar girl pussy for the rest of my life. Broke a condum last night and cummed inside this young pro before I realized what happened. I asked her if she "take medicine for no baby" and she said yes, but who knows.
I don't know how you crazy bastards feel okay with raw-dogging hookers all the time. lol You're insane.
Anyways, I'm kind of working down here at the moment, so I might stick around to tough it out. But would really like to hit on some girls that have a little more going for them at some point. On the bright side, a few of the European women have been coming around my daily hangout and have been fairly easy to chat up. Maybe I'll just start in with the tourist girls.
Either that or ship in my ex-girlfriend from up North. We've been talking on the phone daily and even though she acts like I have no right to pick up where I left off, I can tell she's still in love and itching to "give in."
Then again, you see some lookers and decent-seeming ones at that working the high-end restaurants in Chaweng and, oddly enough, the department-style glasses stores. Hard to tell who's a pro here and who's not thought - Wikipedia says 10,000 prostitutes on this island alone. Fucking hell.
I did go to some nice Chiang Mai-esque restaurants that were full of middle-class Thais, so there must still be a middle-class Thai disco scene (the ones I knew from before are gone) - but I suspect with all the debauchery the anti-foreigner resentment in these places is strong. Will have to roll in slow. I'm meeting up with a local friend tonight who works at a high-end resort and may get her to show me where the good non-pro Thai spots are.
By the way, I'm pretty sure this girl (the "friend") makes even more money than me at her job and even she has admitted (when drunk) that she's "thought" about going pro. It's ridiculous how easily these women gravitate towards the easy money and the bargirl lifestyle here. I'm pretty sure she's at least freelanced, and there's really no reason for it. The prevalence of this shit on the islands, at least this one, is crazy.
On a brighter note, it's definitely still possible to get solid housing for cheap here in Samui. My guesthouse rolling in the door was 500 baht a night, and I've seen as low as 295. Now I'm renting a nice place with a/c, balcony, hot water, fridge, palm tree-studded view, etc, for 9000 a month. Will probably move after a month to a place that's more of a bargain, should I decide to stay on the island. I found a similar place for 6000, but it was in an apartment building, and I didn't want to walk random girls by the older couple that secures the lobby every night. There are some fantastic options for bungalow-style houses a little further out if you don't mind being out of the action (my current place is nearly smack-dab in downtown Lamai). You can definitely get a decent place for 3000 - 4000 if you shop around.
I'm also paying too much for my monthly motorbike. need to get in the habit of shopping around outside the tourist areas again, but motorbike scams are prevalent on Samui and I wanted to make sure I stuck within my limited network here. Some shops will rent you a bike and then come find it and steal it later on. Bastards. If I stay longer, I'll have made some more friends by then and can hopefully find a better deal. Or just buy one.
Food is definitely more expensive here. I miss my 35 baht meals from Chiang Mai.
Ah, one last note. I've mentioned in previous threads that Chaweng is a shit-hole to be avoided. Still largely true, but if you do happen to be staying in Samui, the women in Lamai have nothing on the women in Chaweng. Pros or not, the hot pussy resides in the latter. I think a good option, if you're cool with a motorbike, is to stay in Bophut and party in Chaweng.
EDIT: Hope it was okay to post this here, Fisto. I didn't see a reason for another Thailand thread at this point and don't plan on making regular postings. Just a spontaneous update.
