A very long weekend
June 17, 2007 – 3:04 am
What was supposed to be just a weekend in Udon turned into a whole week. Now I’m back in Pattaya wondering why I returned. This town always seems lonely and dilapidated this time of year, strange and oblivious characters trawling the streets, and old and familiar faces in the places you don’t want to be. I’ve just closed the bar, much to the chagrin of a couple of regulars. This is the first time I’ve been drinking in over a week, and I feel quite pissed.
It was an incredible week I spent with Nam, and I’m not kidding myself that this feeling will last forever. It can’t, it never does, but God when it’s this good it’s worth it how ever broken-hearted you may end up. I want to make the most of it. I want this to be the last time I fall in love. I don’t know if I could be arsed to go through this again anyway.
I didn’t want to leave Udon. Myself and Nam have grown close very quickly. It seems pointless us not being together now. Before I met her I thought I’d grown tired of shy Thai girls; preffering experienced go-go girls rather than bashful blanket-grabbers. But with Nam I dig that shyness all over again, the buzz of carefully coaxing them out of their shells, and making them feel comfortable with you. With Nam her sexuality is now starting to shine through, whereas before I was making all the moves. Now that her inhibitions are rolling away the love-making gets better every time.
I bought her a wardrobe full of new clothes, and it was wonderful seeing her face light up every time she looked in the mirror. You always open yourself up to critisism from other farangs when you’re seen to splash your cash on a Thai babe. But why not? I say. If you can afford it and you’ve got a goodun treat her right, make her feel special. I tell you, I find it an absolute thrill spoiling them.
I quite like Udon. There’s a small expat community there, a few bars, a modern mall and some decent western restaurants. The massage parlours are a bit down-market. I won’t be visiting them again. But I can definitely see myself moving there. In fact, we spent the last few days house-hunting.
Anybody want to buy a bar?

I agree with you. I can’t beleive guy’s want to come get banged for next to nothing while getting a GFE and expect the girl not to want more both financially and emotionally. My Khmer girlfriend gives me more than any women has in the past in terms of emotional attachment. I can hardly wait to get back to Cambodia.
A friend of mine is leaving for Phuket to get married to his Thai girlfriend. He has known her for over three years and has had many ups and downs but he was explaining to me how much better the relationship is compared to any he has in the West.
Keep up this site. You two are bloody engaging.

This is the most interesting web blog going on. It’s a real soap opera with the two of you.
Anyway, with your new bird, yes I have the usual question marks but trust you are experienced enough and rich enough to know what is what.
There are good girls in the bad girl crowd, probably more than there are bad girls in the good girl crowd, especially if you get ‘em soon enough. I did a similar thing and have, two and half years down the line and had no problems.
Only thing i would caution on is spoiling too much. It makes them think that that is what farang are all about. Try more on being the real father figure that she never had, support her, help her but don’t blow too much money on commercial things. All it will do is make her appreciate commrical thins over everything else. And I assume you feel for her because she wasn’t a “money” girl. Keep the innocence and keep the girl.
Excuse my spellling, I’m drunk.
Good luck

ps
i pay for my bird to go to university. but i rarely buy her clothes, and if i do it’s 100 baht. It’s not the money, the principal.
and i’m sure she humps the odd student, but she is probably more faithful than me. such is life.
