She did ask me to get her a little present, which I didn't have a problem with. I texted her on my arrival and told her we could meet up at the hotel. She was having problems with her motorbike (flat tire or broken wheel...not sure, didn't matter) and needed some time to try to get it fixed.
I took a nap while waiting for her text and afternoon passed, then late afternoon. Soon we (Hungry, Thip & I) found ourselves at FLB doing the usual thing. I was starting to feel a bit pissy...just a combination of things. Carry over from first day girl, having to leave bartendee (well I didn't HAVE to leave her, but I did...), waiting all week to see this girl, then feeling stood up...there were a few other little things, but it just seemed like things were working against me that day.
No big deal actually but sometimes you get...you know...just a little tired(?) ok maybe not you but me sometimes ;) So I'm deep in thought, about alot of things...still trying to figure out first day girl, wondering what happened to tonight's girl, thinking about how long I was going to wait until popping out and picking up a new one... I didn't even see Joy & another service girl waving their arms at me and doing the "Happeeeee" signal with their hands and giving me a big smile. Hungry actually had to nudge me and tell me to look.
I realized I was being stupid wasting so much effort doing nothing & the best way to change my environment was to change my attitude. I said out loud "ok screw this. good Ken is not working. I'm going to be bad Ken" silly sounding now, but made perfect sense to me at the time. With that I bummed a smoke off of Thip and lit the first cigarette in a years (I was a former 3 pack a day chain smoker and quit in 1982 or so). I started ordering tequilla for me and the girls, Moulie, Martin (I think? but he doesn't drink it and changed it...fuzzy memory now) but proceeded to start slamming tequilas.
I guess the Heavens were waiting for that signal because my phone beeped and an SMS came in. "WHERE ARE YOU? I'M READY NOW." Woot. Bad Ken for the win. I had a half a buzz on, and told everyone I'd be right back and took off for my girl, Beam. It turned out she had (standard IfYouBelieveHer disclaimer here) a rough day trying to get the bike fixed and was unsuccessful. I could have asked to see the bike or something but why bother right?
I pop into Dollhouse, see (again) two of my favorite mamasans and buy them drinks as she gets ready to go. I think I buy a few for a couple dancers and service girls too. She's ready, I check bin, pay the tequila girl, pay barfine and we're off. Back to FLB and we're having fun. Now it's not just me, Hungry, Thip and Thip's entourage... I have some company of my own.
Thip is having fun and is up on the bar, and we even get Beam to join her for a minute or two. Pen is looking good, she's lost weight and it shows. Everyone is happy and I've run through more than half a dozen tequilas by now so I'm doing pretty good too.
I'm going to try something here and insert a video link. It's short, underlit, and I compressed the hell out of it so my tech doesn't scream about bandwidth consumption. Let me know if you like or hate it.

Here's a few Thip photos for her fans.
(for people who don't know who Thip is, she's a former FLB hostess who was very popular and much loved for a great personality and, i've read, a nice bedside manner. she is now retired and is with Hungry)
The farang woman was the client/guest of one of Thip's friends a very attractive lady who owns some kind of real estate company in Pattaya. She was pretty hot and seemed very sharp too.
Eventually, we headed over to Secrets. My first time there & it was pretty nice. As soon as I walk in, I get a big hug from Mamasan Jaime (no longer there. she's over at Bouche I think). We've always gotten along. I see Ben and introduce myself. We were seated up in the back and in the group were now Pen, Cat (with her friend of the day a farang Muay Thai fighter & a really nice guy), Thip, and I forget who else.
The place is nice and we have a good view of what's going on, plus there's two poles so the girls are happy and playing around. I also see Jame, who now goes by the name Ploy. I was her first farang when she came off the farm and we had a good three days together so we remember each other fondly. Despite sitting with me and my barfine, she's all smiles, hugs, and kisses. One thing I really like about Beam is she's easy going and doesn't get put off when I pay respect and show affection to girls I've gone with in the past. Right about this moment I realize that I'm sitting in a group and I've barfined five of the girls around me within the last six months. The evening has really turned around.

Ploy is in the green. Her friend in the white, I'd definitely like to get to know better

The food there was good and the Som Tum was so good that Beam would later want me to return for more.
After we got back to the hotel, the night just went wonderfully.
We woke up late the next morning.
