When you go to Pattaya for the first time as a single man, you probably know what to expect in a technical way, to put it simple; there will be a lot of bars, with a lot of girls. And those bargirls will shout at you, and you'll know they will be hungry for your money, and nothing else.
Yep, you've seen all those videos on Youtube, and you've been reading a lot.
Probably you don't even have the intention to go to your hotel accompanied by one of those bargirls. And you certainly can't imagine how some guys can be so stupid to fall in love with such a creature! You'll say: "Hah! Not with me!" Maybe you are married and not even thinking about ever cheating your wife.
But after a few days there will be that sweet, little nice girl you've seen every day since your arrival, spotting you when you're still far away from the bar, and getting ready your favourite drink before you even had to tell her something, with that lovely smile, while the small sexy thing is holding a little refreshment for you, before you even had to start your complaints about weather in Pattaya...
You'll listen to the sad story about "Mama sick", "Papa drink", "Brother no work", "Buffalo dead", and how she is forced to work for all of them in this bar she doesn't like. And how you are different and better then all those other tourists, of course. Oh yes, you're such a good, handsome guy.
Well, I know a lot of friends who listened to this story, again and again, finally falling in love with the little, sweet girl. And they all made the same mistake: you can get the girl out of the bar, but not the bar out of the girl. These girls are not the average Thai girls.
Yes, you could be lucky, but don't come to Pattaya and expect to find the girl of your dreams. You won't. You have a better chance winning the lottery as you'll just find playgirls playing a game in which you simply don't have a chance at all if you don't get out of it in time.
You'll be playing this game for a few days in a year during your holidays, but they've been playing it all the time. They are the experts, not you.
The game always starts with the same questions however: "where are you from?", "how many times you've come to Thailand?", "how long you stay?", "where you stay?"
These innocent questions will give them the necessary information for the strategy to be followed in the rest of the game.
Don't try to lie however, they are the best psychologists in the world. You always lose, before it even starts...:-)
Of course, the girls are not any worse then you are, and you are not any better then all the other bad farangs in town. Most of them really do have a family they work for, and deserve respect for that.
So just play, but only the small games that fit perfectly into your holiday schedule. You really don't have to buy a house, or send money to help her to stop working in the bar. Oh yes, her collegues are in the game too, they will always tell you she is home with mama if you'd be back unexpected while she is gone to a hotel with George, Fred, or Boris F**kinovski. Or her boyfriend might bring her to the internet café to tell you how much she misses you, when you're back home.
Don't worry, he will step aside with his beer you paid for, when she puts on the webcam...;-)
So, if you see these shoes in your room, you should know what to do...:-0
Despite all those warnings, a man stays a man, following his ... you know.
I won't be telling you I won't make any mistakes anymore, because I know I probably will.
