Phuket, where fantasies come true...

[.Green eyes.]

Speaking for myself, there aren't that many place left in this world where you can fulfil your many desires. Two of which I found during my short stay in Phuket were campanionship and friendship. Most people I've met in Phuket have been extremely friendly and kind to me. Nowhere else on earth during my past encounters have I met people who showed similar level of compassion to a complete stranger. True, the flip side of the coin is that this relationship may lasts so long as I can offer them equal amount of value, but still I must admit it is a small price to pay for such an incrediable experience. I don't really care if it is merely an illusion, or perhaps a temporary fix for my mentality like a drug, but even if it is, even if it leads me to the path of doom, I would gladly take it and embrace the consequences, for if life is a pointless quest for purpose in an universe void of meaning, then why shouldn't I let myself indulge in a fantasy where I can be the center of attention and welcome everywhere I go? How often can we take off our masks and become our true self?

Even in Phuket, sometimes the money is not the only thing!

If you respect Thai people, have sanook with them and care about THEIR feelings, then things can be different! :biggrinlo

AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS NICE TO HAVE FUN............
THEY TO HAVE FEELINGS AND DESERVE TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT.............

I'm sure that you are right, but my time there was short and being a shy person I didn't have get to know many Thais and so I was merely speaking from my limited experience.

I went out once in Phuket town once! It was a place where 95 % of Thais were listening to music. I got 2 kind of reactions.

1. A face of jeaulousy towards me and a "not welcome" grin on it!
2. Others quiet the contrary, saying "welcome" all the time and buying me drinks.

Anyway, it was a different athmosphere then Patong and other coast villages!

No bg trying to "rape" me, but just a drink among new friends, not trying to sell me anything!
