The girl I woke up next to was kinda cute, but a far cry from what I was looking for. I keep telling myself to get over the habit of always looking for a better girl, I keep seeming to run out of time and ending up with less than I wanted/expected/could of had. It happens all the time in TJ and it happened in Thailand. Of course, once I change my pattern I'm sure I'm going to miss a bunch of really hot girls! Oh well, in Thailand there are plenty, so when I return I promise I'll pick girls early if I see ones I like. Well, I promise I'll try. Hell, I'll play it by ear like always.

I paid my girl somewhere between 1000 and 1500 baht. I forget how much. The barfine had only been 200. She asked if I would come back to see her. "Sure", I said. There was some discussion recently about whether you lie to the girls. That's gotta be my number one lie..."Yeah, see you soon".

Xen had my new camera. I let him use it all day the previous day because he was doing a marathon. We were presented a goal for numbers of photos to take so I reliquinshed my new toy since it took higher quality photos. I wanted it now to take some shots around town. Also, I figured I should probably download the photos to my laptop to make room for more after all the girls he did the previous day. It was still early. I rang Xen and said I was coming over to get the camera. I could tell by his voice that he had been sleeping. I whipped out the laptop and booted it up. Then I walked to the adjacent room and knocked on the door. I assumed he was alone, to my surprise he wasn't.

Surprise is probably an understatement. I wasn't prepared to see Ying from the previous night standing behind Xen. I'm sure my mouth was wide open. Xen handed me the camera. Thanks, gotta run, catch ya later.

I hurried back to the room and closed the door to hide. How did this take place? Did she show up at his room while he was alone so he decided to keep her? Maybe he came back and decided to barfine her? If so, what must have gone through her head when he brought her back to what she believed to be MY room. I connected the USB line from the computer to the camera and downloaded the photos as these thoughts raced through my head. I still had the camera connected and was browsing through the photos when Xen knocked on the door. I wondered what he needed as I answered the door.

It wasn't Xen.

"Hi. How are you? Nice to see you", I said.

"Where's the camera? Let me in." was her response.

Uh oh...

"I'll bring it over in a few minutes"

"No, let me in now."

"It'll just be a minute"

"Let me in"

"I came looking for you last night, what happened?"

She paused. I managed to catch her off guard. I smiled. I almost got her to smile, but then she remembered her mission and tried to enter the room. I blocked her way and made sure the door was closed enough so that she couldn't see the laptop sitting on the desk.

"I wanted to see you last night, but I couldn't find you."

No dice this time. She pinched me. Then she pinched me again. She kept pinching me. At first, it kind of tickled, but then the pinches got harder. I practically had to tear her fingers off of me when they really started to hurt. I looked at her somewhat shocked at her aggressiveness.

She was mad, but she didn't seem pissed. Her disposition seemed somewhere between angry and frustrated. She finally relented. "OK, I'll see you later" I was somewhat speechless as she retreated. When I realized the coast was clear I quickly closed the door and made sure it was looked. That was bizarre. That hurt. Ouch.

I had deleted all the photos from the camera after downloading them, so I quickly uploaded the one of her back up, maybe she just wanted to see the photo. Maybe she would try to take the camera. I wasn't sure what to think. I cleaned up the place and hid the laptop again. I called over to Xen's room to see what was going on.

"She still there? No? OK, you ready?"

He hopped in the back of a truck and headed out to eat. "I have a story for you"

First, I wanted to know if she said anything or did anything to him. Xen said nothing out of the ordinary happened, he had a good session but was really tired and drifted in and out of sleep. He didn't know anything. He was going to get a kick out of this.

I explained how she cornered me and how I gave her his room number. Defeated for the evening, I returned to claim her but she was already gone. I then explained how surprised I was to see "her" and then how she went wacko on me standing outside my door. We both laughed, little did I know that there would be more to come.

Xen and I were in the same groove. He have similar tastes, were having similar experiences, and we both were starting to miss Bangkok more and more. Pattaya to me seemed much smaller and I didn't have the feel of the beer bar scene. The MP was on a much smaller scale and the go-gos didn't have the same draw. Everything seemed compact. There was a beach, but there didn't seem to be much else to do. We both had a better time in Bangkok. We agreed that we should head back earlier than we originally planned, this would be our last night.

We finished our meal and headed up Beach Road to do some shopping and take some pictures on Walking Street. We didn't get far when I saw a familiar face in a red outfit coming towards us. It was Ying. Uh oh.

Luckily, she was with a friend. She wouldn't go nuts on me in front of her friend. We did really brief introductions and they spoke in Thai a bit. Her friend told me that Ying liked me. I thought it a bit odd with her just having spent the night with Xen and he was right there. Nice to meet you, we're going to do some shopping today. We'll see you later on! [I admit, I'm a mentiroso]

As we continued on, I saw they were both walking a little distance behind us. Eventually, it ends up being just Ying following. She approached again in an attempt to hang out a bit.

We were by a pier now and had a good view of the beach and ocean. I put Xen and Ying together for a picture. I told her to smile, but she didn't comply so I just snapped the picture. We chatted a bit more and told her how we were going to shop and walk around Walking Street. She didn't seem too interested, so we managed to free ourselves from her for the time being.

We walked around some shops and Xen ended up ordering himself a suit. Our day continued on Walking Street where he showed me some of the other places he had visited. We took some pictures and browsed through some of the pictures of the talent lining the walls.

Xen was ready for action, so we made our way back to Sabai Land where he quickly chose a very cute girl. I didn't feel like carrying my bigger camera this day, and Xen had a cute girl, so I let him use the camera. Shortly after he went up, I made my own decision. I didn't spend as long as I usually did making a selection because the girl I had previously done at Sabai Land wasn't in the fishbowl at the moment and I didn't really like taking girls up in front of their friends.

I had a better than average session and I picked a cute girl, but without the photo to spur my memory, I can hardly remember anything about her at this point. I'm not as dedicated a note taker as Xen either, so this good experiences is somewhat lost among hundreds of others. I must make it a point to always try to get photos.

Afterwards I returned to the hotel. As I was about to go up the elevator at Eastiny, the receiption asked if I wanted my key.

"I have my key," I said.

"No, you don't"

I checked my pocket. She was right. I got the key and a note from her. The note had a phone number of a girl named Jana on it along with her phone number and the name of a bar and it's address on Soi 8. The note was written as though she knew me, I had no idea who Jana was.

Xen was resting, so I claimed the camera from him and headed out on a quest to figure out who Jana was and how the beer bars worked. I wandered up and down Soi 8, but couldn't find any addresses. I got a whole bunch of pictures, though, and made mental notes of a number of targets. During my quest, I met a number of girls who would make walking undisturbed a task later on. I was a bit nervous walking around Soi 8 because of Ying, but fortunately she wasn't working while I walked around so I managed to avoid her. A cute girl that worked in the bar next to hers spotted me though and wanted me to spend some time with her. She was definitely cute enough, but not on my agenda for now. "Sure, I'll come back later. Promise."

I spent the next couple hours exploring beer bars. On the way back, I managed to find the bar where my key had been found. I showed them the note, then a girl there proceeded to drag me to a place on Soi 7 where I met Jana. I thanked Jana and had a beer before returning to get Xen.

Before I made it up the elevator, the receptionist stopped me again. I checked my pocket, but I had my key this time. You have a letter. Interesting. I thanked the receptionist and brought the letter upstairs to read it. It was a typed letter folded four times with my room number written on it in red ink.

THE LETTER (exactly as typed)
Hello! I'm Ying. Tomorrow, Do you have free time for me? I want to have some friend. But today I have my feeling for told you. I am not good in English. But I can speak a little bit. I want to tell you that I'm so sorry for yesterday night when I went out with your friend. And I like you so much. If you mind, I don't want to bother you anymore. ****** For this message is secret between you and me"" don't let your friend know?? OK!!! ******

When Xen was ready again, I showed him the letter. Then I brought him around on a little tour to show him my discoveries. Because of our similar tastes, we was impressed with some of the gems I had found. The birthday bar that Xen mentioned was called Cutty Shark and was actually located on Soi 8 just a bit up from our hotel towards Second Road. I brought Xen to this place to drool over a girl named Puy that I forgot to mention in my chapter 10 report. Puy wasn't the prettiest girl, but something abuot her gave her incredible sex appeal, at least for me. Xen didn't seem to impressed, but I could hardly take my eyes off her when she was around. I first saw her when I returned for Ying and ended up with the other girl. Puy was with another guy who appeared to be a boyfriend or special friend. Oil from Long Gun was more attractive facially and more memorable, but Puy gave me some serious urges while she was standing around. Puy had been at the bar across the street the other night, but tonight she was at Cutty Shark. I was sitting with Xen drinking beers and staring at Puy when the birthday girl approached.

She introduced herself and mentioned that it was her birthday, so we wished her a Happy Birthday. We engaged in a little smalltalk, but she was in high demand and had to attend to her other guests. Shortly thereafter, they started blaring two of the worst versions of the Happy Birthday song that you can imagine. We should have recorded it, it was so awful. The songs were both funny and painful at the same time. We endured the songs to see the girl blow out the candles on her cake and get hugs from everyone, then the balloon popping started. Balloon popping seems to be some sort of Thai Bday tradition.

I then brought Xen to a place called "The Funny Girl Bar" located on a small street connecting Soi 7 and Soi 8. A couple of the girls I met earlier rushed over to greet us, and a tall cute girl in particular was hanging all over me. Lucky Xen's girl wasn't quite as attractive, but we snapped some photos before continuing our tour.

Our next stop was the Best Friend Beer Bar complex. I had met a cute girl here named "A" (Remember? I met a lot of A's) at the middle bar in the back of the complex. This was "Number 1 A". She had a great spunky personality and seemed like she'd be a ton of fun. "A" wasn't around at the moment for me to point Xen out to her, so we stopped at the bar next to it on the right where there was a cute, petite redhead. We also stopped at a couple other places where there were some potential targets. It was still early, so we left the complex and headed over to Classroom.

Xen ended up liking the girl from the other night at Classroom that had sat with me while I was checking out Puy. Like I said, our tastes are very similar. I was still interested in her, but Xen liked her and he also had a better shot since she knew I had spent the evening with Puy just a couple nights before. Puy wasn't around at the moment, but it still might have been awkward for her. He ended up getting sold on her pretty quickly. He decided to take her to a dance club he had read about. He invited me, but I wasn't really that interested, I just wanted to get laid and hadn't even found a girl yet. I wished them a good time as they left.

I stopped at Best Friend seeking "Number 1 A", but she was nowhere to be found and I didn't see anyone else I liked, so I headed back to Soi 8 hoping I might see Puy at Cutty Shark. I snuck around looking for Puy, but I couldn't find her. Instead I was found by a girl that I had met earlier in the day who I told I would return. She ran into the street to greet me and pull her into her bar right in front of Ying. Ying wasn't too happy about this.

I wanted to take this girl up, but I could feel Ying staring at us. It was very uncomfortable. She assured me that it was OK and that Ying knew that we would be leaving together and would not be bothered by it. The death stare we were getting told me otherwise. I was very concerned. It was getting late and Ying stood between us and the hotel. I told the girl I had to use the restroom, so she pulled me into a back area where the restrooms were. She waited outside as I took a whiz. I could feel Ying's presence as I came back outside. She walked by looking very unhappy with the death stare, but returned to her post. I explained to the girl that I couldn't take her in front of Ying, but she would have not of it. She kept telling me that Ying wouldn't mind. Yea right. "Look at her," I said.

"She already knows, it's OK." Of course, she said this without looking at Ying.

I then spent the next half hour trying to explain to the girl that I would bar fine her, but that I'd have to give her the money so she could pay the fine and meet me. She had difficulty understanding what I was trying to say and couldn't even piece it together when I was trying to give her the money. Eventually, it got through to her. I stood out of Ying's sight as the girl paid her bar fine and returned to the back area. Then, instead of walking in front of Ying's bar then around the corner of the convenience store into the Eastiny, I brought the girl back down the side street to Soi 7 where we walked to Beach Road then back up Soi 8 to sneak into the Eastiny Inn. The whole time I was almost expecting to be ambushed by Ying. The girl kept telling me I had nothing to worry about. She just didn't understand.

We had a great time together. She was very pretty and kissed very well. She didn't give much of a BJ, but the experience was otherwise very GFE and she felt very nice. Afterwards we got cleaned up and hopped back into bed to sleep. As I slowly lost consciousness, I chuckled to myself thinking about how interesting this trip was turning out to be.

this is a fun series that i am really enjoying reading.. can't wait for the next post.. want to see what happens with Ying although I think I can guess.
