The Low Season - Down And Out In Thailand

Nam stops by and joins me for a few games of Jackpot, which stops my paranoia. Eventually Donut drops by to say hello. She said the girls all leave me alone so I can have my pick. I'm good with the logic. She joins me for some drinks and once again beats my butt at pool.
A little later in the night I notice Donut signal Jen over. There are two customers seated near us and she prompts her to go to work on them. Jen's advances were turned down, so I gladly offered her a drink to come and join us. She had me thinking naughty thoughts.
Cuckoo for Coco Puffs
As the night comes to a close and we are getting ready to go, Coco comes over and tells me she wants me to give her twenty baht. I don't know her, and to me it is no different than a stranger off the streets asking me for money, it maybe pocket change to me, but I don't find it appropriate for her to ask, or demand.
Now I probably wouldn't mention it, except that she kept persisting for me to give her the money. She's getting on my last nerve and I'm at a loss of how to resolve the situation. She takes up a bar stool 3 or 4 away from me and anytime I look even close to her direction out comes the hand and 'give me 20 baht'.
Donut comes back and sees what's going on. She tells her she'll give her the 20 baht. Of course she refuses as says 'no, I want him to give me 20 baht'. They have some words in Thai and she finally fucks off back to where she came. I really have no idea what prompted that whole thing, but I can only assume she's cuckoo for Coco puffs and they cost 20 baht...
Donut and I head off for the night.

I travel solo too. I have learned to anticipate that acid-trippy cocktail of heat, humidity, severe jetlag, dehydration (I do loves me my Singha), lethargy, and loneliness....all of that combined tends to really lay a mindfuck on me for a few days.
And why would I be willing to pay such a price for a vacation?....Because it's worth it!
In the midst of that semi-stupor, I always find it a bit cathartic to be sitting at some roadside bar and hearing the tinny flutes of that rolling muy-thai truck, hearing over-and-over....."Bangla Boxing Stadi...Bangla Boxing Stadi...BIG fight....BIG fight....tonight.....tonight".
It's a bit of a cartharsis, actually.
So I tend to crawl into some mental and physical dark cave of my own construct for a few days and lay low (though the mind is willing, the flesh is weak. I hate feeling this way). Then, the fog lifts. The mojo returns. ....and it's good again.
I remember meeting that mafia guy you talked about on a prowl with Jimbo one night. My sentiments exactly. Very friendly in a goomba sort of way. You get the sense that behind that big grin lies something potentially ominous. Based on the stories that Jim probably told you about that guy, those instincts are probably best heeded.
And nothing like a good stimulating game of Jackpot to smooth out the rough edges and keep one mentally sharp. I actually did buy one of these games and bring it home, where it sits in my den. I've had a few good times with Jackpot, where I'd sit down and challenge some lucky girl to a game where I'd simply offer her a 500-baht prize for hitting Jackpot. Given the Thai affinity for gambling, these games generated a lot of enthusiasm and interest from the other girls. I'd always just do it on a whim, and once a sweet little gg actually did win the prize. It was fun, actually.
Enjoying the report man. Great stuff.

I know where you are coming from Hoot, good to know I am not the only one who enjoys crashing alone while surrounded by all this temptation. Sometimes you cannot beat a good nights sleep, and know when to cut your loses. Keep it coming, very enjoyable read.I really didn't need those last few rounds of drinks, and I've done drank too much. I tell Donut it will have to be another night. I don't want to have another bad session.

I'm sure the girls were all over the 500-Baht prize for Jackpot. I've played for drinks or 20-baht before, this must have really got them going.
Love the Home Jackpot game, need to get myself a copy next trip.

Thanks Bumblebee. I actually spent quite a few nights alone this trip. Sometimes an all out shag-a-thon is in the cards, sometimes I just need to recharge the batteries. I guess the batteries were running low this trip

We said our goodbyes and I was sad not to see her again this trip.
I've still got a soft spot in my heart, and a stiff spot in my pants for her.

Day 4 in Phuket arrives and I can say it was nothing short of unremarkable. I decided not to fight the funk anymore and just go with it. I had an even more laid back day in store for myself, not that it was really possible at this point.
I figured I'd take the night off alcohol and get a full nights rest. The hotel was kind enough to let me know they were hosting the football championship game that night from about 2am to 4am and there was likely to be a lot of noise. Either there was a bad turnout for the game or I was so exhausted I didn't hear a thing, either way I slept like a baby.
