Taking Your New Thai Friend to a Mainstream Hotel in Pattaya

[NitNoi]

Straights often refer to the "walk of shame" as they cross the lobby with their paid companion. This is normal for those of us who have some concern for the perceptions of others.

A new guy I offed every day in Bangkok recently had me leave the bar first - he would then meet me 10 minutes later in the hotel lobby.

Well, it may be his home town. A little bit of discretion is understandable in the circumstances.

Yep, totally understandable.

Yeah that's why, when picking up in my home city, I put them in the boot of the car.

Knocking them out with chloroform is just to prevent an anxiety attack due to claustrophobia - honest.

[Blacktouch]

Yep, totally understandable.

I fully understand where you're coming from.

Back in January having dinner with two friends at Deli restaurant one evening, an elderly gentleman walked in with a much younger guy and everybody sitting at their tables was staring at them. But the couple did not care one little bit. And rightly so. But I guess most people will feel embarrassed.

To be fair Blacktouch. Most people stare at most people walking into a restaurant. My famous fellow Londoner, Michael Caine who used to be a part owner of Langans once said.

"When you walk into a restaurant you're part of the show and then you sit down and join the audience."

I think it needs DI Jimmy Perez on the case, or is Rebus still on active service?

Being in a lift with any stranger is slightly awkward and just a tad more so if one or more parties has a trick in tow. My technique, if my fellow liftee has company is to point to the guest and say PHWOOAAAR in a long and loud voice while simultaneously giving a thumbs up. That always breaks the tension.

In ten years of staying at the same hotel neither I nor any of my guests has caused a micropickle's worth of trouble to the hotel staff. Hence the warm, knowing smile that greets me whenever I walk in with a guest.

I was under the impression you still stay at Baan Dok Mai. Walked past there and you could not see the hotel because vendors packed the front. It would be a disappointment if you moved up a class to something new

You seem to be "under the impression" of so many things that are incorrect these days. Poor lonely.
