A 5 Baht Dance (The Full unabridged edition)

[Greedy Pirate]

this coming from a guy that i just recently noticed put Kathu as his location
that is just an uneducated comment

Maybe M26 is right, don't make an issue out of it.

It's content for the forum, I just rather can read the story in one browser then opening it to another site.

I believe the forum server can handle one or two more posts Brit

Writing is difficult. Trying to do it in a foreign language is even more trouble. But the most difficult thing is to overcome is the cultural gap. I need feedback and this site has the right features, but may be not the right audience.

It seems that all topics or initiatives that don't revolve about drinking and whoring are not welcomed.

I can understand also that some of the "senior" and regular members here can feel embarrassed by my post as they have no chance to show how knowledgeable they are.

My thanks to the friendly people who took the time to write a nice comment.

actually, i think i caused Bangladriver to resign
he actually had the nerve to come in to this thread and give the OP shit for cut and paste when he has been posting all these news stories in general section that had nothing to dow ith Thailand. i pointed that out and he then made his resignation post

 

[Reyna08]

You should have said this about your intentions as an opening and I'm sure the whole thing would have been going way better for you

Culture gap is also to overcome by trying to communicate in a better way.

JayBee, I agree that the beginning is not very original.
But now I just can't wait to read your story starting with "it was a dark and stormy night..", it looks so exciting:na:

 

[Pompal 09.]

I felt there was no need to do any opening.

This is a good example of cultural (or generation?) gap. Why can't you take the events as they are coming?

Someone is posting a story; does it matter if it has been posted already somewhere else or if it is the writer trying to extend his audience or a fan that is just doing "copy" and "paste" (and do not tell me your are concerned about copyright)? Either you like or not the story period. Everything else is baloney.

Maybe because he wanted to see what other people contributed..

Has it occurred to you he may not have been hanging on your every word ??

A 5 BAHT DANCE (PART 2/3)
By Gates Of Paradox

Where: Thailand, Phuket Island, Patong
When: end of winter 2007

We decide to play the game. And then it starts. First round is a beer for me and a cocktail for my client. No request for ladydrinks at this time. Wise play. It is turning me off to be pushed for a drink upfront; they must be patient and deserve it. A girl brings the drinks while I’m busy looking around for the possibilities. Then I pour my beer in the strange exotic wooden tumbler the waitress has brought along with the beer bottle. Where I come from we drink beer in a glass, not straight from the bottle like a bricklayer on a building site. My customer bursts into laugh, the girls too, and he waves in front of me a small piece of paper with handwritings. Until now, I have drunk only fruit juices and ever before taking a sip at my Singha I’m already acting like a fool. This place is intoxicating. Really I excel myself; the night may be a long one. I have to pull myself together. Tonight I have a mission.

Lek is in charge. No butt, no breasts, very slim but not skinny, quite small - she could be very young – shoulder length hair, but very sexy when she walks in her grey plaid miniskirt and her high heels, starts working us with the usual “where do you come from?” while scanning around for any better bargain. She is easygoing and cheerful and she’s got such a strong aura of femininity that I’m sure she has the right equipment to give birth one day. Her skin is quite fair but from not being exposed very often to the sun, her shoes seem a little bit too big for her, her miniskirt is a tad too short revealing in some fleeting glimpses very simple panties that a twelve year old girl would contemptibly refuse to wear in my country. In the look department, everything could be better in her. But still, this girl is captivating. Thai girls definitely have something special that can be described, compared, written, read or ranted about but never fully understood. This failure in desperately attempting to reveal this mystery, isn't it the essence of the mystery that make them so attractive, and most of all, isn't it the better way to keep it alive and fascinating?

I’m not really in a good mood, I’m like a coin, I have only two faces and tonight the reverse side won. I may be already fed up by too many Indian touts wanting me to go inside their tailor shop. There are experienced, can’t they see that I’m not the kind of guy who will buy from them? When I reply to them that I’m coming from Hong Kong, I get a sceptical look and then a “ni hao ma?” after a very short pause. Sorry guys, in Hong Kong people are speaking Cantonese not Mandarin, you have to do better. Giving the same answer to the same question, I get quite the same look from Lek and from Joy who just came back from behind the bar with a decent glass for me. Chit tumbler or not, I have already started to drink and having an idiotic farang from Hong Kong drinking in the chit tumbler in the view of everybody may be not good etiquette. At the same time my companion pays the bill. He fumbles through wads of brown notes. This did not go unnoticed by Lek.
It’s toast time. Lek and my companion clink the glasses, she says “à ta santé mon amour” quite perfectly. This girl found out very quickly where we are coming from. At the second attempt I found out that she is from Konkhaen. I get a knowing smirk from her.

Next, an other round of drinks offered by my patient who proposes also the girls ladydrinks. Vodka & orange for Joy, a bottle of Lemon-Baccardi-Breezer for Lek. Hey these girls can really drink! I skip the offer as I have drunk only half of my beer. Joy starts trying coaxing me. She is wearing jeans and a blouse, could be a mother with stretch marks, and she has the look of next door girl, not the Thai stunner type that makes you forget you are married. She says “I 29, I old lady”; by Thai standards may be, by farang standard she is still marriage material. However, after having spent the last decade working farangs in the bars, who wouldn’t feel old and tired? Joy tries some arms and shoulders massage. I tell her that I have just spent one week in China and that I have had already two body massages there. “Ah! Massage and boom-boom” she adds gleefully. I think she got the message; face is preserved on each side. Now that she knows that I may be not too horny and in the need of immediate female companionship this night, she shares her time with an other table, coming back and forth for a sip at her vodka & orange, a smile, but nothing more. This is OK for me. Lek is now in high gear, clinking glasses, shortening the distance between her wonderful small body and my pal. I’m a little bit jealous, I fancy also this girl, but tonight I have something else in mind.

To be continued…

In general I would say you are right, on the other hand people on this board don't know you yet and a lot of others in the past have copy/pasted stuff written by others pretending they wrote it themself. Not so much worried about copyright, more about the lying/pretending part of it which is not appriciated.

Guess that's what worked a bit backwards, so, a bit of an opening would have worked miracles

I would say, don't let that prevent you from writing up another story and try again :thumbsup:

Mate

Nothing against your post.........but why the seperate thread?......just join it onto Part One

 

[Alleshiea]

Sorry, I didn't read the story so have no comment on it, but in Soi Eric at least, Alfie's sig is a good example of a 5-baht dance, especially when you really gotta go, kind of hopping around there in front of the old urinal....

 

[Caitriona]

DG it is not baloney, people on here were not aware whether you originally wrote it or just cut and pasted the report from another site.

If in hindsight you had explained who you were and that you had already posted it elsewhere but wanted our input or opinion, I think things would have been better.

You must realise that if someone just cut and pasted someone elses post from another site and inferred or claimed it was theirs, then of course that person would be open to ridicule, and deservedly so.

All you have to do now in my opinion, is state if you were the author of this post and why you posted it, stop trying to 'get back' at members who were suspicious or indeed incorrect about you, then write an original one for all of us.

 

[shadedskies]

Good suggestion! :thumbsup: How about it, Dawsey?

 

[blueegg90]

how about just posting a link rather than inserting copious amounts of text into the page

also is it necessary for a reply to always include 'quote message in reply'? (cue similar now.....)

 

[kirsty_t_2007]

You appear to be doing this a lot in threads recently. If you don't like what is being written then either leave the thread and find one you do like, or else try adding something contructive for a change.

 

[Willbewill]

show me all the treads.........now go spit your dummy somewhere else...coz im not gonna entertain you.......over and out............
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[roter chaot]

Didnt it get established as a pure cut and paste anyway ??

 

[gReeN dAy RuLeS]

If 10 people post around the same time, you will understand what a mess and confusion it would be if no one knows at the end to whom that particular comment or question was aimed to. Sometimes there's even confusion with quotes, go figure

As for posting links, I think it's better to get a discussion going when the original content is readable in the first post.

Besides, it will also allow to quote some of the text if you want to comment on it. A bit difficult with only a link.

So, there you have it, quotes good, links bad 5555

ps: Purely just my opinion of cause

Patong, Karon, Kathu... as long as i've been associated with this forum i've always been a resident of Phuket... so i dont really know where your coming from.... maybe spare the time to read my previous contributions to threads and you might learn something... BTW Kathu is in Phuket just in case your geography is somewhat lacking....
