Just starting day 5 of my visit to Thailand. I can't even begin to explain how amazing it is here. This is, without a doubt, the most incredible experience I have ever had.
I am with a friend who has been here 7 times so he really knows the ropes. He concurred with my assessment that I hit a grand slam when I bar fined the very first girl in the very first club we walked into. When we walked into this club (Baccara) there were about 15 girls on stage, with about 10 of them being solid 8's and 9's. But as soon as I saw Pennapa, it was over for me. She is a 4'11, 90 lb stunner who is one of the kindest, sweetest girls I have ever met. I've spent several nights with her since and she's meeting me at 4:30 this afternoon and is going to take me around Bangkok as this is the first day off she's had since we met.
Of course I am in Bangkok, so the fact that I am smitten with a little sweetie hasn't prevented me from seeing what else this city has to offer, and I've been quite the "butterfly" as they are called here.
I cannot say enough how beautiful these girls are in the inside and the outside. The culture difference is vast, so I cannot wrap my head around how these girls can be so happy doing what they do, especially when you see some of the cretins they have to do it with. Strippers and prostitutes in the US are usually head cases and on drugs. Of course there is some of that here, but I would say, even based on my limited experience, that most of these girls are just regular girls with an unconventional job.
On the downside, I saw one of the most disturbing things I've ever witnessed last night. We walked into a bar and the first thing I saw was a Western man about 70 with his arms wrapped around a girl who looked like she was about 14. Most of these girls look much younger than they are, but I cannot see how this girl was 18. I could see them from where I was sitting and it was really bothering me. One of the bar girls came up and started talking to me. She had a nice body but was average looking. However, she spoke English really well so I ended up talking to her quite a while. I pointed out the old man with the girl and ask her what she thought about it. She could not understand why it was bothering me- another example of the cultural differences. I ran across a 17 year old go-go dancer the night before and I was racked with guilt the next day for just oogling over her. However, I think most normal people would rather oogle over a 17 year old girl who looked 17-18 rather than an 18 year old who looked 14.
I guess it goes in phases, but right now, many of these clubs have the girls dancing topless and in some other clubs bottomless as well. They are also staying open until 4am or later when they are supposed to close at 2am and the girls definitely are not supposed to be dancing nude. My understanding is that the club owners have paid off someone in the police hierarchy who tells them what days they are going to be watching the clubs. On those days they close at 2am and the girls dance in bikinis.
Oh man...I have so many stories to tell after only 5 days...
I guess I should also mention the fact that the street food is out of this world. You can get an awesome bowl of noodles on the street at 4am. Every morning (or afternoon) when I get up, I just go out walking and trying different things. I haven't had anything I didn't like yet.
I still have 9 more days here, but I am already sad thinking about leaving Pennapa and this single man's paradise. I will definitely be coming back, perhaps later this year. I hope the stock market cooperates enough to allow me to retire here.
