The Pattaya Walking Boy

[Oliver]

I'm sorry I missed this thread at its zenith (for want of a better word) but must share one memory of Bia,. whom I first saw working as a go-go dancer at Jim-Jimmy-James or whatever the place was called many years ago.
A couple of years back there was an almighty rainstorm and the denizens of Boyztown ran for cover as the waters rose. Bia arrived form 2nd road, striding majestically through the floodwater at his usual pace and disappeared into Oscar's. He was completely drenched. He then reappeared in completely dry clothing supplied by the waiters there and continued his journey.
It was another example of what I have mentioned on this forum before; that the guys in the gay scene share a genuinely compassionate concern for their fellow workers, whoever they may be.
