so the whole experience was all truly bizarre and probably would have been pretty unsettling if i hadn’t started to get very very drunk. i had gotten kind of a late start on getting there, and it turned out that the bar was about to close. it was at this point that one of the girls said that since the bar was closing, for some extra baht, her and the girl nund would “go downstairs”. eh? no matter how many times i tried to understand what was “downstairs” or whatever, i couldn’t get this girls english. this was the point that i should have just gotten up and gone home, but i was pretty trashed, and after repeatedly making it clear that i wanted absolutely no part in any “fucky-fucky sucky-sucky” or anything like that, i agreed. so the bar closes, the girls get dressed and we go downstairs… and out of the club. huh? apparently we were heading to a karaoke bar.
crap. so by “downstairs” they really meant going out somewhere. so, i’ve always thought it was so lame for dudes to pay some girl to kick it with them. it always struck me as pretty damn pathetic. and now, through no intention of my own, i wound up in that exact situation. i really wasn’t down w/ that, but i kind of felt like it was too late to tell them that i wasn’t gonna give them money now or whatever, so i figured i may as well go to the bar. so we hung out at the bar for a bit watching karaoke, and the girls did some karaoke, and it was fun hanging out and all… but i really couldnt shake the feeling that i was paying money for this and that’s fucked up.
and then things got weird. for some reason i guess nund was totally jealous of the other girl or something and they started hella arguing and pretty soon they were totally yelling at each other in thai. i couldnt understand what was being said other than small bits that the girl would translate for me. this escalated to the point where it looked like it was going to turn into a fist fight. at this point nund calls her sister and we all go over to the sister’s house where there is a long heated discussion. sheez. so i take the opportunity to pay the money, hoping to end it all. at this point, the other girl takes off, but nund wanted to keep hanging out so we drank some more beers and then went to go crash. once again i had to reiterate that i wanted no part in any “fucky-fucky” or whatever.
sheez. what a night. this definitely was one of the weirdest nights on my whole trip. it all just seemed so random. i felt kinda lame for everything that had transpired… but whatever i guess… i mean it’s not like it was intentional. and now what did this girl nund want? if i had already paid her? and why was she acting so crazy?

Whoa! So how much didja wind up paying? Jesus Christ! That sounds pretty nuts. I thought Tom’s and my night out was insane, but it pales in comparison. Heh.
yeah.. the night was pretty damn insane. who woulda thought that all of that would happen?? dude, it was 500B each. sooo much money… and that’s on top of all the money i spent at the club etc. sheez, i cant even begin to figure out how much the whole night cost me. and i remember when you told me how much you and tom spent… i thought that there was no way to spend so much!
