Well.....I decided to call back Priew and if you have been reading my old trip reports, this is a girl I met on my first trip to Thailand and started to have feelings for.
To be totally honest with you, there was actually a trip to Thailand I made between my first trip and my last trip....that I really didn't discuss at all. I spent three weeks with Priew and barely seen any other girls. I even with to visit her family in Northeast Thailand.....about 100 miles from Khon Kean. Yes....I have a little history with this girl, that I really do not like to talk about! Despite my failed relationships in the US, I was really kidding myself to think I could make it with her! Sometimes....it can be real hard to deal with these girls' situations.....and then think you can change their world for the better! I let this girl believe I was her shining Prince armour....coming to save her from the bad wolf!
The girls from Soi 6 finally leave around 1:00 pm...trust me, it was a long nite. Thereafter, I called Priew on her cell phone and she answers. It was actually really nice to hear her voice. I started to wish her a happy birthday.....then she just started right on me!....."Why you don't call me.....I waited all day for you.....why you so mean to me.....all my friends see you....every day with different girl!"
I couldn't even respond.....and finally just said I was sorry. Then she started right back on me......."why you have no heart.....why, why?". She paused for a minute......then, "How come you no speak".
I tried to explain to her that she has new boyfriend and she really needs to forget about me....."I'm no good man....I'm big butterfly". You understand me?
"No.....I want to see you... now!".....But what about your boyfriend....."I don't care....I want to see you....now!" We went back and forth.....but I knew this was not going to work and this I why I didn't want to call her. I could just hang up the phone....right now....then just completely block her out and let her move on in life!
But, I'm the first to admit....I'm not that strong. Against all my better judgment, I went to see her at her apartment. After I arrived, I could tell she was crying for a long time....her face was red, makeup was dripping and her eyes were puffy. She runs over to me and just starts hugging me real tight.....and wouldn't let go.
I laid down on her bed and she laid down right to me with her head on my chest. We stayed in this position for what seem like hours...and didn't say a word! And I just kept thinking.....how in the hell did I get myself in this position.
We finally start to talk and come to the conclusion that we had to end this very soon.....it's obviously cannot work and we both have separate lives going in different directions. Then she asked me.....can you stay with me one last time? I ask her why......"because I love you and I know, I will never see you again when you leave Thailand this time!". To be honest, she was right......I was going to never call her or see her again!
I agreed, but ended up staying with her for my last 5 days in Thailand. I know I am only trying to justify a wrong decision, but I actually did it all during the last 10 days in Pattaya......so I felt I really wasn't missing out on anything. In addition to this, my brother was now doing on his own thing and wanted to fly solo.
We left the apartment and went to Pizza hut on Beach Road. Now....we riding on the big motorbike going down beach road and then we make the left turn at the Walking street entrance. Now....as we approach the Second road stop light, a Pattaya police officer rides right along the side of my bike after we stopped.....and reached over and grabbed the keys right out of the ignition. It scared the shit out of me.....because I didn't see him coming and didn't even know what the fuck he was doing! He motioned with his hands for me to roll the bike to the side of the road. Trying to stay calm....I followed his instructions. Then all of a sudden, Priew starts a conversation with the police officer.....but I could tell from her tone in her voice, that it wasn't a pleasant conversation. I tried to calm her down....but she kept going. The police officer continues to remain calm....and is still writing a ticket out! He asks me something in Thai....and I tell I don't understand. He pulls out his ID card and shows me....."Oh....no, I don't have my drivers license, it's at the hotel". Then Priew starts on him again. After they finish, he gives me the keys back, give Priew a ticket and let's us go. After we got back to the apartment, I asked her what took place. She said the police officer was going to make you leave the bike and go pay the ticket at the police station. You have no license and the motorbike has no license plates. I told him I was very hungry and needed to go home and I will go to the police station within the next hour to pay the ticket.
From then on.....I never rode the bike during the day and usually just rode with Priew on her moped. I would ride my bike at nite because I never seen the police out giving tickets at nite.
I took these pictures of Priew in her apartment:

Initially, my brother wanted to go to Bangkok the last 5 days of our trip and then decided to stay in Pattaya. He was wrapped in a triangle with 3 girls....and was trying to accomodate all of them......good luck my friend! Unforunately, the Residence Garden could not extend our stay....then indicated that they were fully booked and that we had to leave as scheduled. We started to look for a new hotel, but most places were fully booked.
We ended up at Mike's Beach Resort Hotel.....and I believe it was on Soi 13. I actually didn't like any of their rooms.....so we ended up in the 2-bedroom Penthouse suite on the top floor. It was only the only suite in the place that looked half way decent.
One thing nice about it was.....it had a huge balcony that basically went around the whole suite. Here are some pictures of both sides of the balcony:
Yes....I am still with Priew. My brother tried taking a picture of her, but she was crying and didn't want to show her face, so she just continued to hide under me.
I talked with Pete when he called Priew on her cell phone.....Pete is a real nice guy and tries not to get between me and Priew when we have disagreements. But he asked me I could stop by and talk with him...alone....and I agree to come to his Condo at Royal Cliff. After I arrived, he advised me that Priew's boyfriend is really worried about her because she has not returned any of his calls in the last few days. Now....I'm thinking...this is great, this is all I need!
Then Pete tells me.....listen, I know why she hasn't called him.....because she thinking too much about you too mcuh! I said Pete....."I know....what do you want me to do?". I can't get rid of her. He stares at me for a while....then agrees that we have a problem. He stated that he tried talking to Priew until she was blue in the face....and that this guy from England is her best shot at a new life....and she shouldn't fuck it up!
I told him that I agreed to spend the last few days in Thailand with her....but after this, I'm never returning and would never speak to her again. Pete responded by saying, "For her sake, I hope you are telling the truth". Then all of a sudden, he burst out laughing.....I said "what's so funny?" ...."Well....at least take her out for her Birthday, the girl cried the whole day when you didn't call her.....I didn't even want to answer my phone!". We both just laugh, because he knew what I was up to in Pattaya the last 10 days.
After leaving his Condo....I thought of a good way to make up for missing her birthday. Anybody that knows Pattaya.....knows the Royal Cliff Luxury Resort hotels are probably the most luxurious and most expensive hotels in Thailand. This area is completely secluded.....you even have to take a separate street for about five minutes to reach it. It has 4 luxury hotels in its compound....and the Royal Wing and Spa Resort is the most expensive of the 4 resorts.
I knew Priew indicated that she and her friends used to dream about staying in a such a nice resort.....but never had the opportunity. I left Pete's Condo, which is also in the same area, and went right to the Royal Wing & Spa Resort. I viewed one of their rooms and decided to book it for two days. I am not going to tell you guys how expensive it was.....but it wasn't cheap! Trust me, I am not hurting financially, but this is not a place I would stay at for any length of time!
I surprised Priew.....as she was thinking we were going to Pete's Condo, but instead we made a left turn....went thru another set of security gates...and entered the Royal Wing and Spa. I only have one picture of the suite, as Priew has the remaining pictures.
I have to admit....the place was breathtaking! It has its own private beach that runs for miles.....including two private yachts, available only to the guests of Royal Wing. I invited her mother and two sisters to dinner at the Resort.....and what tickled me...was, they all dressed up for the occasion, but we had a nice time. The next day, I rented a small boat and took Priew and her sister out for a boat ride.

Don't get me wrong.....I just wasn't doing this for them, but it was things that I planned to do, but just never got around to doing them. And I really felt I owed her this.
Well....the last days with Priew was very nice and emotional. I kept to my word......and never got in contact with her since I left Thailand. She left me a few voice mail messages, but eventually realized that I was not going to return them. I would love to be friends with Priew, but this would obviously never work! It was either all or nothing!
I really miss this girl, but some things are just not meant to be! I always let the memory of Priew keep me in check.......no more repeats!
