A little act of jai-Dee

I`m here in [[Myanmar-(Burma)/Pattaya]] because in my life staedy relationships do not work, I`m here because I`m reaching my middle age years, I`m here because I do not have to live on low substitute levels like the young members of the Isaan clan of womanhood.

Either you work these rowdy bars in Soi Eight for a meagre 5000 Baht a month entertaining the Brigate of Lonely Farang Hearts..or else the rice paddies back in the north, a baby strapped to your back, the hot Thai sun beaming down on you while your husband is out having fun with his Nia-Noi, his second wife or maybe philandering in the local bordello with his mates while getting Mau on cheap moonshine whiskey expecting you to have dinner ready when he will get home.

My bottle of Kloster beer is cold to the touch, the Doors are blaring away on the sound system, Manchester playing the English League on a 60 inch flatscreen, bar girls giggling when their behinds get pinches by drunk Scots in kilts. The beer is flowing in amounts that could well compete with all the water in the Mekhong river.

A young blond German, not yet twenty probably on his first backpack trip in Asia, is watching one of the bar girls shyly. He better be carefull or his budget for the whole month will go down eager female throats. If he came here to loose his virginity he has come to the right place!!!

I`ve given the key to my room to Miss Tuan earlier on the boulevard where we met while she was collecting empty cans and bottles for the deposit. "Me old lady now", she told me adding "farang not like old lady". Actually at 45 she still looked quite attractive despite all the grease and stale sweat covering her body. "Sorry sleep beach, not have money for room".

So I gave her my key telling her to go take a shower, wash her greasy clothes amd leave the key with the reception.

My heavy farang Karma will hopefully be a bit lighter with this little act of Jai-Dee - good heart in Thai.
