"Boo who?" says farang cry-baby

"Boo who?" says farang cry-baby

Khun Boo (real name) is a fun-loving Bangkok bar girl who charmed a drink out of me last week. She's one of those disarmingly honest girls who share their thoughts with everyone. When she received a text-message during our chat, she didn't hesitate to show it to me.

It was from some love-sick Norwegian bloke who appeared to have lost the plot along with his heart. He would have been mortified had he known that his tearful message was making half the bar weep with laughter. It went something like this.

Hello Boo my darling. I miss you so much. Your money arrives at Western Union tomorrow. I'm sorry I cried yesterday. I'm so lonely here in Norway. I love you ve

His parting shot was cut off by the SMS 160 character limit but I think we can guess where it was going. The poor sod's lovelorn outpourings gave me a giggle but, when Boo asked me to help her compose a piss-taking reply, I declined. The guy was a complete idiot but, ultimately, my sympathies lay with him rather than her. To spare the guy's blushes, I won't name him or the bar but, if he reads this article, he should recognise himself.

The media often labels Thailand's sex-tourists as cold-hearted abusers of young women. However, when I chat with bar girls about their various fellas, I'm amazed at how often the story ends with "and then he started to cry." I get the distinct impression that the farang-occupied hotel rooms of Sukhumvit witness far more weeping than shagging.

He feels loved, she gets a little money. They both get something they need. Nothing wrong with that.
