Follow-the-bargirl con-trick sweeps Bangkok

If you told your girlfriend that you were going for a quiet drink with Tim and Tom, she'd never guess that you were planning a massive three-way with a deliciously incestuous twist. However, before anyone gets the wrong idea, I should add that Tim and Tom are sisters who dance in the same Bangkok go-go bar.

They're not twins but, in a dimly lit room, I reckon that they're almost impossible to tell apart and, with the unwitting help of a couple of friends, I organised a field study to put this hypothesis to the test.

When Tim was dancing, Tom would sit on my lap and, at the end of each shift, the girls would switch places. Having made the initial introductions, I'd periodically uncouple my test subjects from whatever they were groping to see if they'd commit the inexcusable faux pas of addressing one of my bikini-clad fun-bunnies by her sister's name.

In fact, the deception proved so successful that both of my hapless chums were left with egg on their faces.

The girls tell me that they also have a third sister who used to work in the same bar. To thwart the jealous women who periodically scrutinise my phone's contacts list, I was hoping that she might be called George but, sadly, life rarely throws up such perfect outcomes and she goes by the name of Toy.

My interest in the sisters stems from a desire to recruit them as accomplices in a con-trick based on the crooked card game known as three-card-monte or follow-the-lady.

Wikipedia describes how the scam works.

The victim, or mark, is tricked into betting that he can find the money card, for example the queen of spades, among three facedown playing cards.

The go-go bar version is called follow-the-bargirl and the mark is tricked into betting that he can find the money girl, for example Tom, among the three sisters wriggling around on my lap.

Each sister has a slightly different cup size so, even if I'm pissed-up to the point of incoherence, an exploratory grope will confirm her true identity without arousing the mark's suspicions.

A few details still need to be worked out but I'm convinced that, by luring go-go bar habituÃ©s into a game of follow-the-bargirl, I could earn extra cash while, at the same time, indulging my twin passions of drinking beer and goosing beautiful women.

You could build a whole Casino on this theme.

How about Russian Roulette with 5 hookers and a katoey.

Mr Thaksin, BKKchat.org says:

shocking stuff!!!!

l find the goosing type in gogetem bars rather sleazy.

even slappers should be treated with a bit of respect.

worried Thako.

Hi Thako

I presume that you're being sarcastic. Since when did you ever "treat a Thai woman with a bit of respect"?

You're the "Jack the Ripper" of Mango Sauce - best known for your angry rants about Thai women that usually end in the tagline "but great little boxes."

You also claim to have seduced hundreds of naive Thai students - which makes you sound like an obsessive sexual predator.

Worry about yourself.

Regards
David

oh dear...thako

you should choose your words more carefully and as for respect, thats not the impression you give on bangkok chat.
you must remember that not only are people listening but usually, people always remember.

Khun Thako -- if you are so shocked, why then did you read all the way to the bottom of the article?

The slot machine was just to watch their eyeballs spin. I can't help it where the slots are located...

and being inclusive of katoeys in Russian roulette seems pc enough that even the most ardent feminazi might approve.

Ladyboy Russian Roulette. That sounds like a grand idea for the next NRA meeting. I'll pass the idea along to Charles Bronson.

James,

Sure you can bet on the roosters, Thai boxing, or how long Prufrock can hold a load in his mouth. (NOTE: On the latter you may have to wait a lifetime in order to see the out come.)

James,
Gambling is illegal in Thailand (except for lotteries) but if you hang around in front of Pantip Plaza with a camera slung around your neck or something that will distinguish you as a tourist you can get invited to a "closed" game of cards where you are sure to win a few baht.
