Am I just another sucker?

[EatinHorsePoop]

Am I a sucker or what?
Mind you, I have beed drinking a bit today, so that may be explaining why my head is spinning a bit right now.

Well down to business: So here I am, minding my own business, sitting in a bar, not chatting up any girls and what walks up to me?
A very nice girl of course. Doh!....

I am playing a little with her, when she asks for my name, I tell her: My name is Ya! ....But thats a Thai name? Oh it is?

Where do you come from? Im from Isaan.
She looks at me like Im taking the piss on her, which of course I am, so I just starts laughing a bit at her..(Kind of like an ice breaker, I like to think of it, but do I really need an icebreaker, I keep asking myself everytime I have used it? I dont know, maybe it's just my playfull nature.)

Anyway we sit and talk a bit and I fess up to having rented a room in Patong for a year and being from where I am and all that.
So she says that she was born and raised in Kathu, lost both parents in the Tsunami, didnt talk to anyone for 3 months, then moved to BKK, where she now works in a bar, where she plans to save up enough money for a business (That she told me much about, wont go into detail on it, but it actually sounds ok) She needed to get away from Phuket, because of bad memories etc. and decided to go to BKK and become a Bargirl.
Sucker that I am, I actually believe her, and I get a bit sad of her story and all. And she feels sorry for me, and that she put her story on me and all. So we play a little pool and I barfine her, so she can play pool (Apparently according to the rules of the bar, she can not work (Pull customers in, get lady drinks) and play pool at the same time) So I decided to barfine her so we can play a little pool. Oh yeah, by the way, she beats me.
So after that has gone on, I have somewhere along the way told her I was planning to go to Soi Cowboy tonight, so I decided now is time for me to leave.
But something in me tells me she is a genuinely nice girl (Bargirl and all) so I tell her, when she is ready to set up her business in Phuket, she should call me, because I plan to live here for a long long time...
So we swap numbers and I leave the bar.

Here I am in the hotel room, just getting ready to go to Soi Cowboy and this urge to tell someone about it comes over me...

All things equal, depending on who said what at what point in time in our conversation, she could be setting me up, but somehow I think she is genuine.

Well, am I just another sucker or what?

Edited to add: Not sure where to put this, so I put it in Nightlife. This is in Bangkok, but also touches nightlife and relationships with bargirls, so put I put it here, as I'd proberbly get more input here than in the non-phuket sections. Sorry Mods.

[ely dazzlepants :)]

hi lightmeup, i,d say play it along ,you dont have anything to lose and maybye she will be proved truthful
you could probably check out her story about her parents dying in tsunami quite easily , i think there is a list of names on the internet somewhere, find out her sur name and see if u can find her parents names on the list??

 

[Heyyou]

KERRRRLANGGGG KERRRRLANGGGG WOOOOOP WOOOOP WOOOOO WOOOOOOO TOOOT TOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!

Just some alarm bells for you Lightemup, can't stop thinking about her hey? Not going to Cowboy hey? Going back to that bar hey? 5555555 Bad Man!

Instincts Lightemup, they serve you well here in Iraq, use them and listen to them now!! :light: :light: :light: :light: :light:

[Nicole]

Iv'e played pool at many bars with the bg's, certainly never had 2 barfine them 1st, thinks she's pulling your leg there mate and made herself 200baht

 

[TheDarkLaith]

I also have never heard of the "bar fine to play pool" trick. Also, I can't see how anyone can just open up to a total stranger about their future in the way that she has done.

Perhaps you should ask yourself if you would feel the same way if she was 50 and pig-ugly

Well ??

 

[mgm]

Oooooooooooh Dear . . . Another one!

Write-off the Bar Fine.

Put it down to experience, and move on !

Cheers

Pdm3

 

[R. A]

So what have you lost? A bar fine, big f*cking deal, you enjoyed her company for a few hours and you tipped her and the bar. No problem there.

You are there to enjoy yourself and that is what you have done - its no big deal, as I see it!

 

[HOE is a sick Kitty]

Maybe a sucker but does it matter, 200 b. not like a fortune. If she was nice just call her up tomorrow.

 

[shaken & stirred]

Well, anyway, call me a sucker.
I went to Soi Cowboy and thats about all I will say about that....

She is quite charming though....Who?...Well, both of them...(Doh!):love2:

Oh my ! This vacation is surely turning out differently than what I thought it would............:bangin:

 

[Missa]

SUCKER! 555555555

 

[Karamore(:]

Hey.....You want your fcuking electrocuting flyswatter or not buddy !

Yesh, I know...Man, Im going to have some explaining to do to my colleagues (Who live in Thailand and are married to Thai's) when I get back in the sandbox.....

Them: "Didnt you learn anything from those books we gave you?"

Me: "Ehh?...Well, youre married to Isaan ex-bargirls yourself, right?......"

Them: "Yes, thats why we tried to give you a crash course in how to deal with them, not used their own conversation lines against them as an "Icebreaker", dummy!" :aao:

 

[x_babygurl_x]

Oh yes please Lightemup! What colours do they come in? Do I have choice?

Did I or Did I not say you would head back to Cowboy tonight??

Come on Lightemup mate, have you no learned anything! How many guys do you reckon she has related that particular story too! Even I believed it when you told us about it!!

Baff her brains out tomorrow and get yourself on the river and look at the Cobra fighting and see the bloke get bit in the family jewels! It will make you laugh as he rolls around and screams in agony, then go and buy a genuine fake Omega Seamaster for me (Latest one, with all the knobbly bits on) and the fly-swatter thingy and take your mind of this beautiful entrepreneur!

Then get P1ssed! :cheers:

 

[Pompal 09.]

Beat me to it.. Yeah I have heard this in there (though it seems variable as I have also played pool with girls serving drinks and not paid BF but I do think the bar tries for it)..

BTW thats a great people watching bar.. A favorite breakfast beer place for me..

 

[klutzie]

Ah Thailand!! Land of a million sob stories!! Don't do it buddy!!! mg: no:

 

[Cole]

Anyone heard from Lightemup??? :sad:

I bet he is in bed with that young lady from Soi Cowboy and they are both thinking up names for thier new bar in Patong!! 555555

Come on Lightemup, I think the moment you told her you had taken a room in Patong for a year was the clincher for her!!! Read.........meal ticket!!!

Or am I just being overly cautious? Have a great holiday Lightemup and stay out of that Mine field!!! :sad:

 

[Italiana]

Note to self: Dont drink too heavy too early, because romantic thoughts tend to creep in.

Am in Pattaya now. Alone.
Took the Classroom bus down here....FUN!

Looking for a place right now that serves scandinavian food.
Need to message Malaysian also, I think he promised me a guided tour.

BTW not going to take that girl for a vacation anyway, I got my common sense back this morning.

 

[purplepolkadotsrules007]

i like the bar next to it, at the entrance to NEP. not as crowded and you have a nice view of the Nana parking lot

 

[jdwestbrook86]

I have a feeling Lightemup didn't mind putting his hand in his pocket for a whole 200 Baht! :light:

 

[hugsandkisses2120]

YES!!! Join the crowd!!

But who really knows?
