Warning... nothing too exciting here:
I sit in the Star Alliance Gold Lounge in Beijing eating munchies and waiting for my flight to Bangkok. I love this part of the trip, the long-haul flight is over, I just got 11 hours of sleep, I'm almost there, just 5 hours before touch-down in LOS, and I have plans to spend the following two days in Phuket with a very cute TG named Dew (aka CGFutureWife#29) before I have to work.
I had made arrangements for this with Dew via email, and ThePimp, DrLove had made a call for me as well. I call Dew from Beijing, no answer. I SMS DrLove and ask him to make a call for me. I try Dew again, this time she answers.
Dew: "When you come Bangkok?"
CG: "Tonight, landing som toumb see sip haa
Dew: "OK call me when you get to Bangkok"
CG: "No, meet me at hotel, do not work tonight, I will pay bar"
Dew: "OK call me when you get to Bangkok"
CG: "No, meet me at hotel, do not work tonight, I will pay bar"
Dew: "OK, OK"
CG: "Don't forget your bag, we are going to Phuket"
Dew: "OK, OK"
I met Dew on the second-to-last night of the last trip - FR here: http://bkkx.com/cgi-bin/forum/topic.cgi?forum=9&topic=1006 - I extended my trip one day partly to be with her for another night. We get along great, she is very cute, very carefree, and very fun. But I have only been with her two nights before this, she's a little young for me and I am off to Phuket for two straight days with her - why? I'm not exactly sure. I'll either love her or hate her at the end of this trip. 
I have a slight doubt wonder Dew will show? I hope so, I have her airline ticket in her real Thai name and the likelyhood of me finding a replacement outside Thermae tonight with the same name is quite slim. DrLove SMSs me later saying he had a conversation with Dew and she was clear on the details. Land BKK at 9:55pm, through immigration, customs, call Dew, she will see me in an hour, in taxi at 10:15pm, hotel at 10:40pm, not bad. Dew shows up at 11:15pm, bounds out of the cab and jumps in my arms. Wow, she looks great, her face is perfect and her jeans and sneakers ensure me of no-starfish treatment (owning and wearing sneakers has been proven to be the the #1 sign of a non-starfish). She later admits that she was skeptical about whether I was coming back to Bangkok, would see her, or would take her to Phuket. Seems she's been told this before by other customers, and they never followed through.
Up in the room. first thing I do is give her the money for three nights barfine. I like to do this right away because the girl then knows that I will pay it, and also it gives her money to have while on the trip. I'm hungry, she's hungry (of course she is, she's a TG!) so we go to Bamboo Bar. No BK there, but we see BKGirlfriend. She's now seen me with so many different girls, she's lost track. She just smiles. Good girl. I also see Nina's roommate there in Bamboo with another customer. Remember Nina? Nina's roommate says nothing, just glares at me. 10 minutes later, my phone rings twice with hang-ups - I turn it off. Mai bpen rai.
Fun with Dew and a friend of hers she spots in Bamboo, back to my Soi15LoveShack for a real nice, "welcome CG to Bangkok session"  Morning comes, wake up early, turn on my phone, 7 voice messages, all hang-ups from last night (I get no other call hang-ups this trip), I organize my stuff for our two-day trip. Off to SanamBinBKK in a taxi that agrees to use his meter, only two tries to get one that would, not bad.
Dew has never been on a plane before, although she seems to know about the airport - probably been here to see off another customer while extracting his excess cash.  Anyway, check-in to Thai Airways counter and lookie here - first-class seat assignments 1A/1B on a 3-class 747! How did that happen?  Through security, quick coffee for me, juice for Dew, board and walk left into first class and sit down. I look over to see if Dew is impressed, and she doesn't seem to be. I guess to someone that has never flown before, she had no idea what to expect. She is greeted with a wai by the purser (probably because her tattoo is covered up by her long-sleeve) and we settle in with some OJ. Dew is given a fresh orchid by a flight attendant, and she is impressed by the fully reclining seats and the TV screen. "Not same bus!" No sweetie, the 1st class section of a long-haul 747 is not the same as the bus.
We move to another set of seats so Dew can see out the window, there is only one other person in first class. The look on Dew's face as the plane starts to takeoff is one of a mixture of amazement and anxiety. Up we go into a steep incline and she takes at least 20 pictures of Bangkok out the window. She wants to come over and sit on my lap but she cannot because a) the seat belt sign is still on, and b) we are supposed to behave up here! We get a nice breakfast served on china and crystal and before we know it, we are approaching Phuket. Dew is having problems with her ears, I show her how to yawn and clear them, she is easily impressed. Many pictures taken of Phuket out the window, more anxiety from Dew as we land. Out to the curb, jump in a minivan and we are headed to Patong. A smile is permanently on her face.
We check into a poolside room at Thara Patong Resort. I had read HonoluluJimmy's (rest his soul) review of the place and I also got someone else to pay for one of the two nights, so the 3100 baht rate is not too bad. The poolside rooms have the benefit of having a private terrace where you walk into the pool right from the room. Dew is impressed by this and immediately changes and jumps in the pool. A quick swim and we are off to the beach for some food.
Dew orders a couple of things and eats about half of each... mental note to self, this will not happen again. A couple of beers, and we walk out to the beach and to the right. We walk at the water's edge and Dew is having all kinds of fun chasing the small crabs back into their holes in the sand. Also, everytime she sees a Japanese guy, she gives me the 4-4-4 gesture with four fingers on her hand. This happens throughout the trip. As first it is funny, but it gets old after awhile. Lots of pictures taken. I ended up taking over 100 pictures for the two days.
Stop at the 7-11 for supplies, Dew even buys a few of her own snacks. Back to the room, another quick swim and I shower. Out of the shower, and ready for... WTF! Dew is asleep. I try to wake her and jump her bones, but it's not easy. OK, I have mercy on the poor girl and let her sleep. I sleep too - about 90 minutes. Wake up, a shower for her, and she comes back and pulls out all the stops like she is very happy that I took her to Phuket. This is what I call customer service. 
It is about 7:30pm and we jump in the pool. There are a couple of 4-4-4's in the pool and two Amerekan guys. I strike up a conversation with them, they have been here for 10 days, banging BGs and relaxing on the beach, first trip to Thailand and they have not even been to Bangkok, they came through Malaysia to get here. Amerekan#1 has met a BG that he is in love with and is considering giving money to take here out of the bar. Amerekan#2 is trying to talk him out of this. Neither of them speak any Thai, so Dew and I teach them some basic things. One thing that is very different about Dew than other TGs is that she get over her shyness about meeting people very quickly. Within a minute of introductions, she is laughing and joking with these guys.
Anyway, we go off to a few bars, and get a little drunk. Dew wants to see a gogo bar here in Phuket, so we head to Rock Hard for a drink. It is filled with 4-4-4's. Another guy and me are the only westerners in there. He is being completely ignored, the girls know where the money is, and he is not worht the time of day with so many 4-4-4's around. . Dew says she wants to go to a gay bar ("I want go bar gay Paradise") and I tell her no way. She keeps insisting that we go, and I keep refusing, I finally tell her "no fu_cking way" and she says OK, then admits that she doesn't really want to go to Paradise, she just wanted to see if I would agree to go if she pleaded with me. She tells me that if I had agreed to go to Paradise, she would have told me that she doesn't want to go, then she would have asked me why I want to go to a gay bar! This is BG logic, I've seen it before, I'm not surprised.
We go have some food, back to the room and we both pass out. OK with me. Wake up, hello Dew , I go to breakfast and bring a try of food back and we eat it on the terrace by the pool. I have to sneak out the food, as you're not supposed to take food out of the restaurant. What to do today, up to me I guess. I suggest getting a motorbike and Dew is all over this idea. She puts her hair up into a baseball cap, puts on a t-shirt, shorts and gym shoes and we go out to the street to rent a motorbike. The manual is 200/day, automatics are 250 and 300. Dew wants the 300, but since she ordered 2 dishes for lunch yesterday and didn't eat all of her food, I decide on the one for 250 baht. Dew pouts for about 1/4 second, then happily hops on. This is what I LOVE about this girl (and most TGs in general). When I do something they do not like, they get over it very quickly and very easily. Farang women could learn from this.
We're off toward Kata beach. The scenery on the south of Phuket is breathtaking, and we stop and take many pictures. We walk on Kata beach, visit Kata Noi, stop at the viewpoint, go to Raiwai beach and have a delicious lunch. I limit Dew to just two things off the dirt-cheap menu, I walk away from the table twice as I get phone calls during lunch, one from NoEnglish (whom I am seeing in 2 days) and one from CashierCutie (whom I am seeing in 3 days). Dew says nothing about this. No bullsh_it "you have other lady" crap. Now I really like this girl.
We go to Wat Chalong and visit every building. Dew pays her respects at each one while I take in the serenity. As she plays at each one, I stay in back of her as not to disturb her or others. I like Wat Chalong, very peaceful. Many, many pictures taken. We go to leave and a bus full of 4-4-4's pull up. Back on the motorbike and back towards Patong. We are stopped at a police roadblock (they are stopping everyone) and I am asked for my drivers license. Well, I gave my license as security for the motorbike, this story (even told in Thai by me to the cop) is not good enough and I am issued a ticket. I have to go to the police station to pay it before I can proceed. We lock up the bike, I refuse to give the keys to the cop, and we walk two blocks to the police station. On the way, we have this conversation:
CG: "I cannot believe that they gave me a ticket!"
Dew: "Uh huh"
CG: "I'm sure it is because I am farang"
Dew: "Uh huh"
CG: "They are just taking money from me, I'm sure they'll pocket the fine"
Dew: "Uh huh"
CG: "You know, in Amereka, this would not happen"
Dew: "Uh huh"
CG: "Dew, in Amereka, police try to help you, not take money from you"
Dew: "Here not Amereka, here not same"
She's right.
Into the police station, informed the fine is 300 baht, I give the cop 500 baht, he gives me 200 baht change out of the till, and puts the 500 baht not in his shirt pocket. Back to the motorbike, hand over the receipt, say nothing to the cop, peel away towards Patong. Dew says "CG, how come you not say 'Kop khun krup' to the police?" and she laughs. She thinks this whole thing is hilarious. I act like I am more pissed off than I really am.
Later, I look at the receipt (written in Thai script). My ability to read Thai script is improving to the point that I can read it with the help of reference. The receipt is for a payment of some sort of administrative fee of 50 baht.
Back to the hotel, walk to the beach for a swim, back to the hotel, another swim, another great session and I am fully in vacation mode now. We go out to the Irish Pub on Bangla Road, and listen to a great band, are bought many drinks by Amerekan#1 and Amerekan#2, meet the BG that Amerekan#1 is in love with (very hot) and we are off to have a bite to eat. Amerekan#1 says they have been paying 200 baht for a tuk-tuk every night from Thara Patong to Bangla Road (less than a kilometer), Dew just shakes her head at this. Dew wants to go to the FantaSea show, but the tickets are about 700-800 baht per person. I decline her request, she pouts for 1/4 second and we go to a restaurant and I let her get the steak. She is very, very happy. Back to the room, a late night swim, a couple of beers and we both pass out. OK with me.
Next morning, I sneak food out of the restaurant and we have breakfast on the terrace by the pool. Time to go back to Bangkok. We return the motorbike, get my license back, negotiate a 400 baht private taxi back to the airport and we are off. Problem there with our reservation (not worth explaining why here) and we end up getting on Air Asia back to Bangkok. The outbound flight was on Thai Airways in 1st-class on a 3-cabin, long-haul, 747-400. Now, we are on the Southwest Airlines of Thailand, no seat assignments, very little leg-room, and a plane that has "now everyone can fly" written on the side of it. We board the plane and Dew stops as she looks down the aisle. "CG, not same before, this like bus". No sweetie, not same, but not quite like a bus! Nonetheless, she is just as happy here as she was in 1st-class on the 747, she's looking out the window and taking pictures all the way to Bangkok. Captain drops the plane hard on the runway and we are home.
I had put an envelope with some money in Dew's bag, as I was not sure what was happening when we land. I will be saying goodbye to her today. We decide to share a taxi, first to drop her at her room, then I will go to my hotel. At her building, I ask here if she wants me to come up, she says OK, no problem. Up to her room, it is very nice for a BG room. She shares it with another girl (whom she calls her sister, not same mama or papa), and it is a bit messy. But it has a computer for generating "miss you so much" emails, as well as hot water and AC (which she says they never use because they do not want to pay the electricity). I look around carefully and there are no male clothes, so she does not live with her Thai boyfriend (I really don't care, though). A quick goodbye and tell her I had a great time (I did!) and I am off. She asks no questions about my plans for the next few days. Good girl. She will work tonight and I will hook up in Soi33 with Juniper, Kev29ie, obiwan, LastSurvivor and DrLove. I tell here I will call her in a few days and see her again, I also promise to make prints of the pictures I took, and give them to her next time I see her.
I have a few more days of fun with this girl later in the trip, maybe I'll add some notes here later.

Priceless reading your FRs, which are in a league of their own. Having heard a portion of this one during the Soi 33 get-together, I greatly enjoyed reading the entirety here.
My fave exchange from this one:
-----
CG: "I cannot believe that they gave me a ticket!"
Dew: "Uh huh"
CG: "I'm sure it is because I am farang"
Dew: "Uh huh"
CG: "They are just taking money from me, I'm sure they'll pocket the fine"
Dew: "Uh huh"
CG: "You know, in Amereka, this would not happen"
Dew: "Uh huh"
CG: "Dew, in Amereka, police try to help you, not take money from you"
Dew: "Here not Amereka, here not same"
She's right.
-----
If only more people took the above to heart : "Here not Amereka, here not same"
Seriously, you should consider putting all of your FRs into a central place, like a book!

'We're off toward Kata beach. The scenery on the south of Phuket is breathtaking, and we stop and take many pictures. We walk on Kata beach, visit Kata Noi, stop at the viewpoint, go to Raiwai beach and have a delicious lunch'
'We go to Wat Chalang and visit every building. Dew pays her respects at each one while I take in the serenity. I like it here, very peaceful'
have to agree with you on both points.
my Girl at the time hired a motorbike and took to the same places as you.
i loved the ride around the South of the Island and the eating at the beaches.
i loved watching the Fishermen pulling in their boats and sorting out their catch.
the visit to Wat Chalong was my first experience of a Thai Temple and I just tried to take it all in.
i was so interested in what was going on,but I respected my Girl and left her alone when she made her offerings.
i liked Wat Chalong and marvelled at the buildings,i just wish I had returned on further visits.
