I just read an interesting thread on being labeled "butterfly" which all in all I guess is not a good thing. What about the term "Bpak-wan", which means "Sweet mouth"(I think?). I was called that a few times after laying on some pretty corny lines to the girls. They said it jokingly while smiling at my lame lines. Is this a term of affection or more along the lines of being labeled "butterfly" which is often said "tongue and cheek"? When called a "Bpak-wan", should I accept as compliment?
Getting back to the "Butterfly" label, on a visit a while ago to BKK, I met a great girl (#1) in one bar (Monday), told her on Tuesday morning that I would stop by on Weds, went out with another girl (#2) Tuesday night, went to see girl #1 on Weds night, she wasn't there. Her friend called her cell, we talked, apparantly she wasnt feeling well(?), so I met another lovely girl (#3), went back on Thursday night for #1. She was coolish to me, I asked if she wanted to go somewhere else, she gave me a lame story on how she was feeling not too hot. We got down to the real issue and she had heard that I took girl #3 out (Weds night, who worked in a different bar, mind you), and didnt know if she should go with me since she "really liked me" but wasnt sure if I really liked her or #3 (Ironic, yes?). I couldnt believe it, I am in BKK for only a week, which is supposed to last me a whole year, and I am dealing with this drama? Brothers, in the same situation, I would suggest that you remember that there are "other fish in the sea" and just move on. Of course, like a big dummy, I really liked the girl, so I layed on my lines pretty thick to her, she took it all in, called me a "bpak-wan", smiled, we "made up", and we took off together. Regardless, we had a great time and I have nothing but great memories of her but it sure looked stressful for a few minutes. Bottom line, treat the girls with respect, not "losing face" is important to them so keep that in mind as you manuever yourself around the scene but at the same time don't lose your perspective on the whole situation. You're there to have fun, so have fun. Remember, while you are there, there are thousands of "hurting" brothers (like myself) that wish we were you.

"Bpak-wan" is usually not a positive term. I mean, some females will use it in a joking way, but it still means that they are saying you are "b.s"ing them. But, like being labled a butterfly, there is nothing you can do about it, so most of us don't worry about it.

I'm laughing to myself already. I'm back in BKK in two weeks and I will be contending with this butterfly shit again. I know there is nothing I can do about it but for sure I won't worry about.
I got the label from one girl in Tilac bar ( she made something of an issue) so on every visit I go to the bar and take the "new" girl. I have done this 5 times now but I still get the "look" from the first girl. I don't look for the logic anymore.

I think the dictionary shoud have the word "bkwan" and "butterfly" next to the word Man or Male. I have not heard of any man that has not been labled that at one point or another!! ha ha ha ha!!
Good that you take it all in stride.

Bud White,
"bpak wahn" is used to call a flaterer. Lit. means "sweet mouth". It does not mean you are a butterfly, but of course, most butterflies are "bpak wahns".
They use another word, "Chao Choo". That's what they used to call me. Some times they call me 'snake head' ("Hua Ngoo") -- this comes from "Tao Hua Ngoo" meaning 'Dirty old man', but I tell them I have advanced beyond that, and one head is not enough. So now, I have been upgraded to "Phayanak" which is a name of a 7 headed snake/serpent.

BK: Thanks for the update. Good to know that it is to be taken lightly, the way the girl said it was pretty flirty but I didnt know if she meant it that way or if it meant in the "butterfly" way. Regardless, these are good problems to have. Here's another funny situation I was in once, I was on my way to Eden Club(about 5PM) and was contemplating my night ahead of me afterwards and which girl I was going to call/meet up with later on. I liked both girls and couldn't decide between the two. I remember sitting in the taxi thinking hard and then realizing "I can't decide between one incredibly hot girl or the other, and that's not even considering the 2 lesbians you are about to go and enjoy right now!!!" I had to sit back and laugh at that one. Like I said, good problems to have...(T.I.T)

You have to infer what they mean by bak warn based on the situation. If they are calling you a 'butterfly' together with 'sweet mouth' then she's basically on to you. Of course, if you are farang then it's a short trip .
But if you just met a girl and are chatting her up, or just compliment her on something, she may say that you are a flatterer in a sense that is just being modest. For example:
{you} Khun suai mak (you are very beautiful)
{her} bak warn (flatterer!)
{you} law! (really!)
{her} :: smiling :: You pay bar me?

I think it all depends if you are looking for a GF or a GF experance.
I usually find in the first 10 minutes of being at a bar that They spot my roving eye and then ask me or tell me that I am a butterfly man
To which I reply for "for sure" This leaves them with a problem either they can walk away and loose the dosh or accept it
Most times they are happy to accept it. Personally I do not want a GF or even that much of a GF experance as I find it all false anyway.
I need to have a good F**K with a willing girl and always tell her what I want at the bar (while having a laugh.)
Many time the girl has find me another girl to take back if they where not keen on my bedroom antics or the next time I was there being totaly upfront with them again was oftern offered another girl by the first girl.
I always treat the girls with respect and do not treat them like whores in the bar which gets you lots of browny points when they are oftern dealing with the drunken sex tourist that almost start there action before leaving the bar.
Try to save their face for sure but remember its your money - your choice
