Body double at Bangkok's Eden Club

Lucy Liu

Taking two girls is mandatory at Bangkok's notorious Eden Club and a gentleman is expected to... ahem... play all six pockets of the pool table. I was chaperoning a couple of fun-loving British visitors recently so, naturally, I took them there.

One lad, who'd just had his hernia repaired, was worried that the energetic Eden girls might turn the tables and "tear him a new one" but the other was game and, when he finally emerged, the twinkling smile on his happy little face would've melted the heart of even the most resentful feminist.

Apparently, he'd just monstered Charlie's Angel, Lucy Liu.

I didn't really believe him so, when the girls were outside having lunch, we conspired to walk by.

Pointing Lucy out was quite unnecessary. The girl was her spitting image - but about ten years younger.

It's not just Asian celebrities who are well-represented amongst Bangkok's finest. There's a dancer at Angelwitch who, despite being Thai, is passable double of actress Jennifer Garner - the one who stars in that pitiful AXN espionage-farce, Alias.

The premise of the series is that, each day, Jennifer gets to wear a different wig and she and her grim-faced CIA co-workers are spirited off to some distant continent to thwart the enemies of freedom - but they're normally back by lunchtime.

It's all highly implausible but I wish I knew their travel agent.

Unfortunately, some of Thailand's sexy body-doubles are as unattainable as their celebrity twins.

Last year, I was surprised and delighted to discover pornstar Sabrine Maui working as a teller at my local Kasikorn Bank.

The haughty little minx hasn't warmed to my manly charms yet but paying the utility bills is no longer the chore it once was.

I once spotted a Ricki Lake lookalike working in Soi 7 in Pattaya.

Monstered her?

An outrage.

I treat her like teh lady she undoubtedly wasn't.

A lucky girl, and no mistake

I'm waiting for two things in life. An expose on a nunnery and an expose on the Eden Club. I find the Eden Club implausible and irritating and boring. I seem to be outnumbered by virtually every other man in the Kingdom. My one trip into the Eden Club was staggering in it's meat market lack of appeal. Never went back and have zero interest in entertaining two women at once. I'll do the bonking thank-you very much; I don't need to be gang-banged by two indifferent farang haters. I quess Thailand only works for me in small managable doses of racism and venality and greed. Hey, who knows; maybe it is the same with nunnerys.

I still think Dana jerks off to videos of burning orphanages and / or dead puppies, but I'm no Eden aficiado either.
The lack of sponteneity, and rather mechanical routines of the "lesbian pals" acts was a bit shit, imo.
The French owner / pimp rather reminded me of "Pepe le Pew" also. haha.

The Eden Club, didn't quite do it for me, couldn't decide which side of the line to pick the girl from.
However, the thought of Lucy Lui (Even a double) could tempt me back. Just to study the likeness you understand!

The Eden Club has been fun several times for me. All the girls have been eager to please and energetic in the festivities in that which we indulged. Whatever anyone says you cannot argue with the gaurantee that says that if you are not satidfied then you don't have to pay. So if anyone that was not satisfied paid anyway and did not opt to exercise your non-paying rights as a non-satisfied customer then I really can't see how you can complain.

I'd like to see somebody try to take them up on their guarantee. How do you prove you were not satisfied? You're hardly going to stand there and claim you couldn't get it up are you? If you did get it up, and you shot your bolt you were satisfied. But say you did get away with it, within 24 hours all of Bangkok would know you are a flopsie.

The Frenchman, Marc, has left Eden Club.
Word is that he has end-stage cancer.
