Bangkok Affections (Paperback)

An American English teacher in Bangkok is intrigued by his school's Virgin Mary statues weeping tears of real blood seemingly over the abuse and trafficking of children. With diligence, perseverance and a bit of good luck, he achieves personal fame by stopping clerical pedophiles in their tracks around the world except for a couple of vicious demons he overlooked in his own school.

Often times born of desperation, or tragedy, their motivation for swinging off the poles may be the same — money — but their personal stories are as varied as the punters sitting in the bleachers. Pey, a bubbly and fun lady from Nongkhai, had a degree in mass communications.

Her reasons for seeking employment at Tilac Bar had an all too familiar theme; after an unwanted pregnancy to the Thai boyfriend she was left to fend for herself. At 30 years of age she had few options available and, with the ever present financial demands from the family hovering in the background, swinging off the chrome seemed like a way to make some quick cash. To her credit she used the improved financial stream to put herself through eight months of English language courses. The first time I bar fined her there was nothing remotely hardcore about her.

Twelve months later I could see that the constant consumption of booze, and the late nights, had begun to take its toll. She was still friendly enough but there was now a hardened edge to her conversation and manner.

Physical Contact and Personal Space in Thailand

And, she had that look in her eyes that they all develop; a mixture of being world weary, and a mind lacking compassion. Some get lucky and bag a rich sponsor and some, the ones who seem to thrive in the job, become hardcore whores. As I looked back out over the dance podium the song was still running through my mind and keeping things in perspective.

I watched with glee While your kings and queens Fought for ten decades For the gods they made I shouted out, Who killed the Kennedys? When after all It was you and me Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reached Bombay Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But what's confusing you Is just the nature of my game Standing side by side and smiling across at me were Ann and Noot.

Ann and Noot were hardcore professionals. They had the best bodies in Shark Bar — my original reason for being interested in them — and they had attitude.

Attitude born of the confidence gained of being two of the most popular ladies in the bar. Some guys might feel intimidated by their completely business-like manner; perhaps bordering on bitchiness. I just thought they were the ultimate mercenaries as they flitted from one potential customer to another maximizing their lady drinks earnings each night. Noot, a typical Isaan lady and probably the more hardcore of the two, was all about two things; money and sex.

I bar-fined her once and was not disappointed. As the saying goes; she could suck a golf ball up six feet of garden hose. Ann, a born and bred Bangkok lady, was the more sophisticated of the two.

With a good standard of English she could engage you in a modicum of reasonably interesting conversation. I bar fined her a couple of times and eventually found out a couple of interesting facts about her. She also maintained good personal discipline by sticking to a maximum of two beers a night and going to the gym three times a week.

As already stated, for a lass approaching her mid 30s, she was in great shape.

Ann and Noot finished their set, climbed down from the dance platform, and, with beaming smiles, joined me in the bleachers. They both knew that I was good for a couple of drinks as they snuggled up to me. The three of us had something in common; Ning. My ex was a friend of theirs. A lot of the ladies, including Ann and Noot, had, initially, given me the cold shoulder; a lady drink was fine but a short time was not in order.

I found out later that Ning had warned them off. I soon realigned their distorted take on how things were, between Ning and I, and had them accompanying me out of the bar. What once was, is no more. An ex just becomes a person you once new. A past reflected in that jazz classic, Stolen Moments.

As we continued to amuse ourselves with entertaining small talk, they enquired if I wanted to avail myself of their services. But that urgency, nay erratic nature, of an earlier time, was no longer there. I was a far more emotionally subdued individual these days. The rain had eased up and the nightly street circus was beginning to crank into life as the food cart vendors took up their positions. The price of a beer was a small amount to pay to be able sit in an outdoor bar area, such as the Tilac, and watch the human interaction as the night wore on.

The neon, the drinks, the laughs, and the sanuk with the ladies, represented the lighter side of humanity here in this twilight world. He enters into their world; a world of deception, lies, intrigue and mind games for money. Another mate was set up by his Thai wife after she planted drugs in his vehicle. Extrication out of this duplicity cost him incalculable levels of emotional stress and hundreds of thousands of baht. A farang wrote about his Thai girlfriend a good girl and how he found out she had a Thai boyfriend gik. What was interesting, from her point of view, was not so much being confronted about it by her Farang boyfriend but the idea that it was acceptable for her to be conducting herself in this manner because her friends, and family, thought that it was okay; that screwing multiple partners was not an issue because everyone knew that the farang was her primary boyfriend and that he should be grateful because she cared for him in a far better way than his wife did.

Perhaps it really is the East and West divide? It shows an approach to life which is far more deceptive, and hidden, than I would ever be capable of. Going to the beach, getting and tan and diving under the surf appeals as a far healthier option.
