Well that was a surprise...

[forcebwithu]

At the end of this morning's bike ride I'd thought I'd relax with a massage. There's an older lady at a massage shop on Klang that waves to me most mornings as I ride by, so as I was looking for a legit massage I thought I'd give her a try.

I pull up and while locking up my bike I confirm her shop has a shower I can use to cool down a bit before the massage. She said yes, but then went on to explain something about the big boss of the shop going home for Songkran so we'll have to use a different room, but it's a very nice room with a good shower. She then proceeds to lead me down Klang.

As we're walking I ask her how far and she says not far. So we trudge along about 25m, turn up an adjoining soi, go another 25m and make a another turn into an alley which I then cotton on to is the building where she has a room. She then puts her finger to her lips and motions me to follow her quietly up the stairs. So up, up, up we go until finally we end our ascent on the 6th floor. To her credit she wasn't even breathing hard and while I wasn't either, the climb after a bike ride in the hot sun meant I was seriously overheating. It was also at that point I realized there was a good chance her room was a fan only room. Sure enough, we get to the end of the hall, she unlocks her door and while it's a nice corner room with good breeze from the open windows, it lacks A/C.

It was also obvious that my hoped for legit massage was not to be and that insead if I stayed I'd probably be treated to the sight of a naked great grandmother. Using my overheated state as an excuse, I explained politely to her that even with her promised very good shower, it will be impossible for me to cool down enough to enjoy a massage. I felt bad for her as she pleaded with me to not go as she has very few customers and very little money, but I quickly left after slipping 100B into her hand for her time.

Enjoyed this little adventure story.

Those poor massage girls are really hurting now. I know a couple of them and they often ask for money. Sometimes I send them a little bit, sometimes I have to say no (which I hate because I know they are legit and probably hungry).

It is so difficult for them to get out of the hole they are in. Relocating takes rent and deposit money, same for retraining for a different job or going to school. Some of them actually have the desire, the intelligence, and in some cases the skills to do something else. But, they don't have the means to break away. They are trapped (especially the older ones). Add on the stigma and discrimination factors... not a good situation to be in.

I did, but it wasn't a massage. Had a good time at King's Club last night.

It's a rare night when I stop in and the vibe is off.

Last week there was a guy in there that started a killer pool game with a twist. Not only did he put up a good chunk of money for 1/2/3 in the amount of 1500/1000/500, he also set the rule if the lady wanted to be able to pot the black, she had to play the game naked. With the amount of money up for grabs I got to watch about a dozen naked ladies playing pool.

[biggles]

I still remember the bar in Jomtien years ago where the girls would play naked, for a tip. Unfortunately you would then likely tip them to get dressed again!! 

[karon steve]

Is the swimming pool bar on the dark side still going? You throw coins in the pool and they strip naked to go get it.

Sounds like you are referring to the infamous Black Pearl.

Alas no, it closed a few years ago Steve.

I had another "Well that was a surprise..." yesterday.

About three months ago my longtime Thai neighbor, Dtaa, moved out her house next door to ours so she could rent it out to a group of Vietnamese guys. Other than talking loudly during the day they hadn't been bad neighbors.

Well yesterday my lady tells me to come quickly and look what's happening next door. So we go into our 2nd floor master bedroom and look out the window that overlooks the driveway next door. She tells me the guys are breaking their one year lease and moving out early. Because Dtaa was keeping their deposit they decided as compensation they'd try to take her new refrigerator with with them and were in the process of loading it on the back of the truck.

My lady had called Dtaa to report what was happening and she and her adult son arrived before they could leave. After much back and forth conversation we see them unloading the refrigerator, but the surprise was what came next. I then see them loading up a piece of junk old refrigerator. Turns out what they were trying to do is swap their piece of junk old one for her new refrigerator, as if she wouldn't notice the switch.

Just when you think you've seen it all, a new surprise smacks you in the face.

Terrible that such a hobby would be forced to go to such waste.
