quote:Eventually went across the street to Soho Bar which is a home for Joop and now a new home for Cinco. This is a German owned bar and most of the patrons are also German. I always find Germans to be a European version of Koreans and I rarely get along with them. This place seemed to be different as everyone seemed to be not smiling but drunk and friendly. Joop knows everyone at the bar and Cinco seemed to have a couple girls hanging on him that were pretty but heavy. There are two very passable ladyboys here with zero visible or audible signs of being a former bloke. One is the famous Arm whom is mute and "she" is gorgeous and you can't hear her talk to determine sex so she fools a lot of guys. Even Cinco acknowledged that he thought she was hot. Evidentally Cinco was getting fooled a lot(just looking at them) as most new guys are when they get to Thailand. It was Cinco's birthday at midnight so he gave a girl some baht to go buy two new bottles of Patron and she came back a short while later on her motorbike. They basically pay for their own shots somehow or maybe its a corkage fee. Told them they should put one of them in the fridge for later as cold tequila is much easier to drink, especially in humid weather. I was sober that night because my cold had kicked into high gear. I don't know how you alcoholics can be sober for an entire trip. I was sober for 5 days in Thailand and hated it. Didn't need to get blasted or anything but mongering is much more fun buzzed. I have a theory that some of the most hardcore mongers are sober because they are just replacing one addiction with a new one(sex). Didn't see anything to my liking except one really hot skinny girl that was being occupied by one Japanese client after another. They have two girls that are stunning that work here but they are quite busy so get there early or get sloppy 10ths.
