Wicked Willy’s Trip to LOS – Part 12
Part twelve: Epilogue.
After all the planning, expectations and waiting the trip was over in a flash and all one (hopefully) has bought back are memories. Well after sharing these with you all of you must know I had a great time and cannot wait to get back, if I get a chance. Now I am having withdrawal symptoms and envying all you guys out there or looking forward to going. I did get everything done that I wanted even after a slow start, but now with the experience of this trip behind me would like to try a few new things. All requiring a longer term stay, unfortunately. How do you guys’ cope with coming back to the real world, especially if getting back soon is difficult?
One thing that did please me on the trip is that I was expecting the girls to be all money, money, money, or being possessive (perhaps I am just too damned ugly!) and for there to be a lot of pressure in the go-gos for buying drinks etc. I had read lots about this before I left home. Happily in general I found that this was not the case. Most of the girls were no hassle at all, their attitude was excellent and Thailand really lived up to its reputation as The Land of Smiles. What are your findings here?
My recommendations for the trip in summary are as follow:
If you are thinking of going, stop thinking and go. If you were not thinking of going, think about it and go! You will find many girls that meet your taste however fussy you are and you will have the time of your life. This is a place where you live out your fantasies.

Clothes and copies
Go with empty suitcase, an old one if possible. Buy clothes, watches, DVD’s/CD’s and luggage. If having something made for someone at home take an item with you for size. Bargain like mad and if you are not sure walk away, sometimes the price goes even lower so you cannot refuse! A question for the experience LOS shoppers what would you say the going rate for a good quality copy watch?

Wickedwilly:
Nice reports to say the least:
first time I heard anyone say they got to do all they planned to do. ( lucky you)
On your question on how to cope once back to farangland.
I use the "want to get back to los" as an incentive/drive. seem to give me the power to do well in business and put up with a lot of "crap" here that would normally bug me. ( kind of grin and bear it, knowing what the "other life" holds)
also, buying a lot of stuff in los to bring back seems like a lot of work ( to me anyway) not much there other than memories I would want to bring back.
I bet you already are planning for your next trip.
See if you can make it to Phuket next time, I think you will like it.

WW, excellent report. I agree with all your recommendations. I returned a few days ago and am experiencing some major withdrawal pains as well. Oh well! Merlin.
