Re: The Pattaya Walking Boy
Nice story Doug.
I remember the kid called BoDang or Red Ant, the leader of the gang that roamed Sunee in times of yore. Always polite to me he would ask me for money, the amount he asked for being "20 baht and 10 baht." I'd go with him to a food stall and give the money directly to the vendor. He would ask me every trip but never more than once.
Re: The Pattaya Walking Boy
Doug, Gook or Gok is still around. I believe he works for a cable company but can't be sure at this time. He was educated at a Christian school and does write English so you can communicate with him. Nice man. Best to ignore Scottish guys comments.

That would be a short story then just I presume ?

Was his name not 'Mot Deang'?
I never met him but I heard a lot about him.
He was, I think, a nasty piece of stuff.
Where is he now?
Re: The Pattaya Walking Boy
I know know him. He is a friend of mine. I can ask anything of him and he will do his best for me. If I want cheap Thai food he will take me to a place nearby that is just what I was hoping for. If I need change for 1000 baht while on the beach, he will go to the 7-11 and buy something for 10 baht and bring me all of my change.
He is a good fun guy and one of the bests friends I have come to know in thailand.
He has never lied to me, never stole from me and never tried to use me. He has asked for food or a drink and the use of my shower but his requests are never outragous and I feel like he truly appreciates every baht I have given him.
He is one friend I can think of who always brings a smile to my face.
Re: The Pattaya Walking Boy
Welcome back Buckie. Awesome post. Here's hoping many more posters who visit Thailand regularly return.

Indeed, I positively encourage it.
Just a pity we don't have a "reverse ignore" function where you could actually hide your posts from people you can't stand.
Not that that would apply to you Francois, as you are one of a select few I have time for. There's about six in all
The concept of a reverse ignore function is just wishful thinking

Is it true that the wicked queen had a unflattering nickname for Snow White? "Seven up"!
Re: The Pattaya Walking Boy
Does anyone have a pic of walking boy ? I might look for him to have a chat.
