This is actually a continuation of a field report I wrote earlier, but there is a gap between this report and the last one. If I feel it's necessary, I may fill it in later. Pardon any typos and whatnot, didn't feel like proofreading. It's Thursday, and it's the last day I have time to make reservations for Phuket before the Thai girlfriend and I leave for Hua Hin. I always like to procrastinate to the last minute. It makes me feel as if I get more out of my time. I walk into the travel agency with my TGF and she is helping me make the reservations for me and my friend. We book at the Burisari (I can see many of you rolling your eyes now), because it's the only place I know that's supposedly upper scale for the area, the bad side of it not being too girl friendly (I know). I did not have the luxury of time to check it all out before hand. I was busy sleeping, and other stuff. TGF had to go to work right after so as soon as we left the travel agency she went to work and I went back in to the travel agent and had them change my reservation to a double. I tried to convince my TGF to book a double just in case she could make it down there with me while in the travel agency but she gave me a look as if that was the dumbest idea she ever heard with a hint of suspicion. OK, kill that idea, and have to do it without her. Return from Hua Hin on Sunday with the TGF and go straight to the airport where she drops me off and I meet up with one of my friends to catch the first class flight to Phuket on Thai Air. (Yeah, I know, more eye rolling out there in the crowds, but I'm on vacation and don't mind.) Short flight, nice and smooth, and if you've seen my friend, you know he needs the first class seats for optimal comfort. Arrive and grab one of the rip off taxi's just so we can get back to the hotel faster, check in, freshen up, and hit the scenes. Same people working there as last two times I've been there. Checked in and they asked about where our "double" was and we explained that our girlfriends would be coming in later that night. I got a "yeah, we've heard that one before" look and they didn't mention another word about it. Get up to our rooms, I actually had probably one of the better deluxe rooms right on the front corner of the property on the 3rd floor overlooking everything. Not too bad. My only problem with the room was that there were not enough power outlets. Because the room was on the corner, it had windows on 2 sides of the room. Apparently where there are windows, you can't put power outlets. We freshen up a bit and it's time to grab something to eat before our night of drinking and mongering. Grab something to eat real quick at the Pizza Shack at the end of Soi Bangla. I think that one is better than the one in the middle of Soi Bangla. Ever since I came back from my last trip to Phuket and showed pictures from the Kangaroo Bar he's been going crazy over one of the girls in the background in a few of my pics. I told him that more than likely she probably still worked there as I was just there two months earlier and we made it our mission to find her that night. However, since this was his first time to Phuket, I make sure we did a mandatory stroll to see everything else and check out a few of the other Sois and Go GOs before we went to Kangaroo. I know that place well, and every time I go there the night disappears in about 15 minutes and it's closing time. This time for insurance I was going to make sure that I barfined a girl BEFORE we went to Kangaroo. It sounded like a good plan. We hit a few bars, a few go gos and I ended up taking a liking to this one girl in Flash. She was small and cute and was giving me the eyes, however she was kind of stand off-ish which I took as maybe being pretty new to the business. Her English was almost nil and our conversation was limited by my Thai language skills which are not that great, but enough to get by. My friend also took a liking to one of the girls there and decided that she was going to be his insurance for the night as well. Having made our choices, we then decided that we would barfine the girls and then pick them up after 2am. We told them we had to meet some other people first. They agreed and we were set. Time to head off to Kangaroo. We also hit Suzy Wongs, way back at the end of the Soi. They do some interesting shows there, none to my taste. After fighting our way back down the Soi through the countless numbers of girls, we arrive at Kangaroo. The girl he came to see is working and I must say that she is looking hot tonight. I think he's in love. I'm actually jealous of him, which is not often as we usually have differing tastes. But that's OK, there's another girl that I come to see there which I had some odd attraction to even though she's older than me. Not usually my taste. We go to sit down at the bar and I'm recognized by the girl I came to see at Kangaroo and she comes over to say hi. Make our acquaintances once again and order some drinks. At this point, things start to become a blur. I know I had many, many, many drinks. I know we bought many drinks for the girls. I know we played some of those bar games they like to play with the coin and the napkin on the glass. We played some other game of trying to get a lime off the bar using one glass upside down and dropping it into another glass right side up. Tricky stuff. I think some of it involved money. I know I seemed to be making progress with the girl I was after here because she took down my number and hotel info. I don't know what happened to the 2am closing tonight, because that was supposed to be our alarm clock to go and pick the girls we barfined at Flash. Around 2:30am my friend gets a call on his mobile and it's the girl he barfined from Flash. She wants to know what the deal is. He tells her we'll be right over to get her and she is actually standing right outside of Kangaroo. Oops. OK, we make a hasty exit out of Kangaroo, my friend doesn't want to be seen by the girl at Kangaroo with a girl from another bar. Very wise. We start walking down Soi Bangla and my friend's girl calls up the girl I had barfined. Apparently she went home when we didn't come back at 2am or call. Ooops. My friend's girl talks to the girl I barfined into coming back out and she meets us at the end of the Soi. Well, after leaving Kangaroo and walking around a bit. I realize I am absolutely piss drunk. I'm walking only by some sort of miracle, and to be going in a particular direction with a cause is almost unthinkable. At this point all I wanted to do was go back to the hotel and hopefully snuggle up with this little cutie and probably pass out within 5 minutes. At the same time this cutie was making sure to walk in front of me or behind me, but not with me. No physical contact whatsoever. Nada. I should have taken this as a sign already and sent her home. But I was really piss drunk and was hoping for the best. We get back to the hotel and we have to go through this joiner fee b/s at the front desk. I mentioned my double booking and they give me some crap about hotel policy says their name has to be on the registration list. OK, fine, whatever. Get up to the room, and I know I am not going to last long. She instructs me to take a shower and I do. When I get out she is watching TV and seems to be in no rush to take a shower herself. The shower cleaned me up, but at this point I was drop dead tired. She goes into the bathroom, gets undressed there and takes a shower. I swear to god, it was the longest shower ever. It was so long, I was sleeping when she got out. I was out for the count. Wake up the next morning and there is no play, no action, no nothing. She won't even show me herself naked. WTF thinks I. Well, totalling up my costs for the evening and lack of services, when payment was asked for I felt 500 baht was appropriate. 500 baht barfine, 1000 baht joiner fee, 500 baht for sleeping in the same bed as me. She was not exactly pleased with this amount, but I was not exactly pleased with the service. I did my best to explain to her why and think I got my point across. There was no screaming, kicking, throwing of objects, or threats so I think I did OK. That day I can't really remember what we did, but I think we went to Kangaroo and drank a lot. All I really do remember is that I came back to my hotel alone because I was pissed off about the joiner fee and issues of the previous night. I didn't want to patronize them with my joiner fee money. The following day beach, ate, freshen up, head out. We start off just walking by Kangaroo, but the girl my friend was after wasn't there, so we didn't give it a second thought and moved on. I think we just randomly selected bars and went in. OUr main goal for the night was to hit one of the Discos. Not knowing what the deal is there, we went up to Tiger Disco and bought two tickets. For anyone that knows, there is like NO ONE in the disco at 10pm. We ask what the deal is and they say to come back around midnight. OK. Will do. This means we have two more hours to kill. More bars. Head back to Tiger around Midnight and there are still not that many people in there. Looking around in fact it's mostly guys at the moment. Great huge place inside. Well done for a Disco. Within the following hour it pretty much got packed from wall to wall. Let me tell you, there are some smoking hot girls up in here but the scene is a little different. My friend is dancing with some girl at the table next to us and I'm chatting with the two girls at the table behind us. They want to dance and I dance like a giraffe with a broken leg but one got in front of me, and one got behind me and the both begin grinding all over me. OK, this wasn't so bad. I can deal with it. Apparently the closing times are a little more lax than the last time I was here, at least today and the day before. It stayed open until 3am. We all began to pile out at close and my friend was going with the girl from the table next to us, and the two girls I was talking to asked me if I could handle two girls. Of course I can! They want to get something to eat and ask if I am hungry. I didn't feel like going back to the hotel yet, so I went along with it. Go and grab some food with them and chat a bit. They are of course former bargirls. They ask me where I am staying and I mention the hotel name, but they have no clue. They ask if it charges a fee for guests and I confirm. They ask if I want to go over to their place as they are both roommates. Not having been to a Thai girl's house in Phuket, I thought it would be interesting to check out. I agreed to go with them. One of the girls had a motorbike and she went off to go get it and pick us up for the drive back to their place. It wasn't that far from Bangla. Maybe a 5 minute ride. We show up where they stay and although I prepared myself by expecting the worst, it didn't turn out to be so bad, and then other things I was pretty unprepard for. When we got back to their place, that's when price started to be discussed and it seemed like the contract was to be 2 girls for 2000 baht short time. Deal. Inside their place, it was a small room, but very quiant for two Thai girls. Maybe 15' x 10'. Enough for a full size bed, a dresser, a couple of stand up closests and the bathroom. This is were I got a little freaked. I've heard the stories about the toilet in the floor, but this was the first time I had seen one. I was prepared for that. I was not prepared for the shower. The shower consists of a pipe that runs along the wall and drips water into a big 35 gallon drum. In the drum is a bowl, there they scoop out water and pour it overthemselves. OK, new experience for me. Did that. I was also not prepared when they handed me a toothbrush and asked me to brush my teeth with it using the water from that bucket. Let me tell you, that water from the bucket is not the cleanest looking water. I wasn't about to use someone else's toothbrush or put water from that bucket in my mouth. Fortunately my clothes weren't far from the shower and I pulled out the listerine pocket packs and took two and gave each of them one. This seemed to be acceptable. Thank goodness. After we conducted our business which was relatively brief, they dropped me off at my hotel, wished me a good night, and gave me their phone numbers. They asked if I wanted to go with them and hangout the following day at some beach that they had to drive to, and asked if I could drive them. Apparently they had a car but didn't have licenses. Whatever the issues were I said I would think about it but did have plans to hang out with my friend. Walked back into the hotel with a smile on my face knowing I just robbed the hotel of robbing me for 2 joiner fees. Not a bad night after all. The following day, we do our day shopping, beach, and other day things. That night we went back to Kangaroo and I start getting into a little more personal conversation with the girl I've been after there. She starts talking about how she does have a boyfriend, but he's far away and never sees her. They've seen each other 2 times in a year or something like that. She starts talking about how she wants someone to take care of her, and take her out of the bar scene because she has to drink so much to make good money there. I feel bad but take it all with a grain of salt. Then one of the guys that works there breaks out the polaroid and we get our pictures taken, sign the picture, and he staples it to the celing. I think he does DJ sometimes, and other time he's behind the bar, but whatever he does there, he's actually a pretty cool guy. So if you are ever sitting near the cash register, look up, and more than like you'll see me, my friend, and our two fav girls from Kangaroo up there. The night goes on and we are really buying a lot of drinks. I don't know how many, but I do know that we needed to get a second checkbin. I start talking to my girl there and she starts showing me some other girls gold bracelet and about how her boyfriend bought it for her. I think she said something to the effect if I would buy something like for her if she was my girlfriend. I replied that yes, if she was my girlfriend I would. I mention to her that this is my last night in Phuket so I have to make the most of it and then I'm returning to Bangkok. She say something about coming over to my hotel and I'm all for it. The conversation went on a bit further, but I think I lost some of it in the noise. All I know is that she starts asking me if I am ready to leave. After just having the discussion about going back to the hotel, I'm ready! She comes out from behind the bar grabs my hand and she says to follow her and starts walking me across the street. We arrive at a gold shop. Whoa. This is not what I was expecting. I said if she was my girlfriend I would buy her something. Not I but you some 8000 baht gold bracelent and then you will be my girlfriend. That's not my idea of a healthy relationship. Then it all clicked. All the hustling for drinks, which was much more aggressive tonight than any other night I've been there. The gold bracelet. The place has changed. The attitude was different than my previous experience. When I was there on my last trip, I had a hard time keeping up with all the free drinks I was getting on top of the one's I was buying. It was almost a one to one ratio. I certainly felt I was getting value on my last trip. This time there was none of that. Very business oriented like. I declined to buy her the gold bracelet and I think there may have been some face lost if she just told everyone at the bar that she was going to walk this stupid falang over to a gold shop and get him to buy her something for doing nothing but hustling drinks to him. Of course I had a little loss of face myself as I just told my friend that I may or may not be back for the evening. At this point, my attitude changed. This was not the Kangaroo I remember from my last visit. This girl has now succumbed to the scene in my determination. Her soul is lost and gone forever. Unfortunate, but this was my last night. I couldn't let her ruin it. We return to the bar and my friend asks me why I'm back so soon, I explain what just happened. I imagine she was doing the same with her friends coming back without the bracelet. I hung out with my friend because he was still trying to get something going with his girl, but since he just barely got her name I didn't see anything happening with her that night so I managed to convince him to go to Banana Disco with me. We say our goodbyes to the girls (I have no hard feelings about what happened really) and head over to Banana Disco. I told my girl from Kangaroo that if she wants to talk to me or see me she has all my info and I left it at that. Make our way to Banana and it's much smaller than Tiger, but it's OK. Some good looking ones here as well, but most seem to be taken. My friend end up scoring right before the final bell at 2am and I'm not worried about going back alone. I could use the rest and we have to pack and be ready to leave in the morning back to Phuket anyway. Truth be told, I did kind of wait up for the girl from Kangaroo a little while, but she never showed. I was of course slightly disappointed, but overall I know it was for the better. Some things just aren't meant to be.

Great Story.....I have been found guilty of having drink going at more than one bar myself.... I hear Patong is very quite right now. Any thoughts....It's going to get a little more lively around a couple bars. I'll be looking to learn of what go go's are showing. First order, finger nails, toe nails, hair cut and then back to my room with a massage girlie for a private oilie session....the lady will be nude and about 55 minutes after she starts it will be "Happy Ending Time" All in the comfort of my hotel room.

Go Gos are showing pretty much the same thing you would find in the Patpong area in Bangkok just maybe not to the same degree. Pussy shows mostly in those that have them if you are in to that kind of thing. Try Suzy Wong's, they have them going on in there. The only bad thing is that it's at the very end of the Soi. You have many other bars and girls to pass before you get there. Just remember to stick to the plan!

Don't automatically presume everything. GATOR420 is a name that I've been using for logins and like since I was 18. But yes, I would be concerned if that was the case.

yeah low season punters (probably why Gator was hbeing so hassled... Girls gotta do in the hard times and all that) and last 10 days or so has been really sh_tty weather... Was out early this week and it pissed it down solid from 8 - 12 and some of the soi's looked decidedly ghost town'ish.. Sat in star bar on Soi Katoey blabbing with manager (Dave) and I think I was the only punter !!! Good news for those of us that like grabbing freelancers from the disco's currently its shooting fish in a barrel but I also think some of the 'quality' has fled !!!
