Buffalo won't dump cheating Pattaya hooker

Buffalo won't dump cheating Pattaya hooker

Shu Qi would make quite a good catch (See Shu Qi: Actress and nude model) but some fellas are a little less discerning. Mango Sauce reader, Andy, fell in love with an alcoholic, deaf and dumb, illegal immigrant Pattaya hooker with two black eyes. Even when she took to nude base-jumping without a parachute and beating her head on marble floors, his affection for her didn't waver.

Andy gallantly rescued his dusky damsel in distress and took good care of her family. All he wanted in return was her loyalty but what he actually got was a painful lesson in human nature. The Thais say "don't stroke the dog or it will lick your face" but Andy was convinced that his kindness would be rewarded. His dream was of a shared life in a little house nestling in the Shan hills - but, to her, he was merely a buffalo and she completely took the piss.

Andy already knows that the situation is hopeless but he can't bring himself to dump the girl. His sympathy for her borders on Stockholm Syndrome. Before reaching the end of his email, I too was banging my head on the floor.

Well, today I am one pissed-off farang. Let me tell you why. A few years ago, I took a holiday in Thailand. I fell in with an English family at our stopover in Germany and they said they were heading to a beach resort called Pattaya. They said I would enjoy it and I should tag along.

I soon realised that there was more fun to be had than on a day trip to Southend and, inevitably, I woke up late next day, hung over, with a Thai girl in my bed.

A quick learner, I rushed about the city like a loon for a day or two until I saw a little girl called Nat in a bar. Well, that was it. We spent the holiday together and the next holiday and the next and the next and the next etc. I cannot really remember how many holidays I have been on now but it's a fair few years.

Not always great times. Nat could be moody and a drunk but, at the end of the day, she was my girl so I did not mind. Oh yes. I should add something significant. She had a long term English boyfriend before me and she is not actually Thai. She is from a neighbouring country. Most significantly, she is disabled. She is deaf.

Yes, you are reading this correctly. I went to Thailand and fell for a deaf foreign bar girl. In due course I asked her to stop working in the bar and she did. I provided her with an income, a comfortable apartment and presents.

A year ago, in August, I received a call from her best friend, Pui. It seems that Nat was shacked up with a farang in the apartment I pay for and was spending my money on him. I was a buffalo, she said, but a good man who did not deserve this.

She said he was always around and just timed his visits for dates I was in England. As proof, she gave me her own Hotmail details and, sure enough, there was an email from a Kevin to Pui. He asked her to change Nat's password because he was on his way and wanted to make sure I did not find out anything.

I was pretty pissed off and phoned a mate who ran a bar, whose wife knew Nat. He confirmed it was all true and that there was a Thai boyfriend too.

When I stopped the money, it seems Nat went for Kevin with a razor and gave him the boot. Ho hum... I carried on being a buffalo.

In November, when I was there, Nat was not in the best of moods. We went to see her family and son. I kinda like them and her son is a good kid. As a farang, I built (paid for) a well and brought everyone presents.

Back in Pattaya, Nat was charm itself most of the time and became the engaging scamp I loved. However, there was also a darker side coming through. She was drinking and I mean really drinking. One night, she accused me (she can't speak but we do Charades pretty good) of seeing the wife of my English mate, who she had fallen out with.

Within minutes, she had managed to grab a bottle of whiskey and downed it in one. She was now out of it, growling and wailing till she passed out. Coming to in my room, she decides we are finished, throws her mobile (for texting) down the loo and starts head-butting the marble floor. When this did not knock her out, she decided to take a jump off the balcony.

Great. A four foot one pissed naked ninja-girl trying to nock my head off to get to the balcony. The worst night of my life. Next morning, I felt sorry for her. Poor little deaf girl sold by her nasty family to Thailand. We carried on as usual. I tried to get her ears sorted and some decent papers.

Six months later, I was back. Nat had a black eye and bruises. She had been drinking and had fallen over. Her room had been jemmied and the local girls had beaten her up and robbed her. When we kissed, she coughed up blood. I took her to hospital. They said to leave her here and come back in a week.

She was out in three days but stuff was not right with us. We went to visit her family and son again and that was ok. I knew I had to do something because our relationship was not what I thought it should be. Fuck meÔø? "relationship." I can't believe I'm actually using that word but actually I do and did.

Pretty much everyone in the UK knows I date a Thai girl, even my mum (Though not what she did when we met. I maintained a fiction that she was a nanny). I even carry a little family photo of me, Nat, her sister and her son in my wallet.

So from April to now? I thought things were looking good. I said go to school. She tried. I said go to massage school. She did. I said leave Pattaya. She said ok, as long as you sort out where and make sure I am safe there.

To todayÔø?

When I first went to Pattaya, Nat had a best friend called Fon. Fon is an older woman, married to a German in his 70's. Nowadays, she spends most of the year in Germany, coming back to Thailand for three months at a time. She loves staying out all night and drinking and singing karaoke. I have often spent time at her house, which Otto built, and, though she can be a pain in the arse trying to drag me to karaoke at all hours, she is ok. She and Nat understand each others signs perfectly and Fon stayed with Nat when she was in hospital.

So, today, Fon calls me and says sorry my girl is no good. She is pissed up all the time and shacked up with some farang (the one from before?) in her apartment. They are having "big boxing" and he hit her many times. Fon suggests I stop all funding until Nat reforms and she (Fon) will call me when my girl is a good girl again.

Deja vu.

Can't the cheap bastard afford a hotel?

What the fuck is going on?

Do I believe Fon? I think the answer is yes. I can't see why Fon would lie. I have no corroboration this time but, when Pui told me stuff before, she was proved right when my English mate corroborated it.

I have been dumped before but never by a deaf illegal immigrant hooker in Thailand who I support and whose family I support and who I genuinely like and feel for and hoped that one day we might make a life together. Yes, I know that I have no business taking up with such a girl and our life would hardly be conventional. Nevertheless, somehow I allowed myself to dream this.

Most galling of all is that I am crazed by Nat's stupidity. As of yesterday, her life was good. It had prospects. Today, it looks slightly less rosy. It freaks me out that her future is screwed (literally) without me. She survived before but I wonder if she could do it again and, as she gets older, her prospects as a bar girl diminish, especially given that she is never gonna get whisked off to Farangland and given her nationality.

I could rationalise things better if I was an ugly creep with bad personal hygiene but I'm not. I'm not saying that I am Leonardo Di Caprio but I'm not a dog either. Her friends seem to like me enough to try to protect me from the worst of my stupidity.

Most people will say I have been a total and utter twat. My protestations that my girl was different have, it seemed, been proved false. My dream of a little house in the Shan hills laughable. Yet it did seem possible. It really did.

Where we go from here, I do not know. I know what I must do but am loath to do it. I might be a hard nosed bastard professionally but when the girly starts wailing or worse I can't hack it.

So, David, there is bog all point to this post. It's mainly that I just feel a bit crazy and wanted to write something down.

(The names have been changed)

Bar girls are for recreational use only, Andy, and you discovered this the hard way. Don't beat yourself up about it, though. When you return to Thailand, it'll take just 10 minutes to find yourself another companion.

You shouldn't expect her to remain faithful, though. It's like expecting a puppy not to piss on the rug.

some people have to touch the flame. some people have to stick their head in the bonfire. some people have to apply a blowtorch to their balls. guess which one you are, andy? if this ridiculous story is even half true (some of the details seem sketchy, but what the fuck, it was entertaining), you deserve a signed thank-you note from the ministry of the treasury. i recommend you try for a bar girl with all her senses intact next time. the non-intellectual ones, anyhow.

Dicky says:

I think Andy has "White Knight Syndrome," which, frankly is a bit self-indulgent and even narcissistic! The only explanantion for his mawkish and mewling attempts at love are that he believes that no matter what, he should be (pathetically) lovable. Get some self-esteem and a nicer girlfriend! Stop trolling for sympathy.

OXO says:

ìBar girls are for recreational use only,î

That's a little hard, even if it was given as adviceÖÖÖ..are we now going back to-- you can only have a relationship with a ìgood Thai Girlî they wont let you down trip again.

Ben says:

am I reading mango sauce or stickman? I'm confused.

TINGTAWNG says:

Dicky nails it.

Andy - you are the rescuer. Nat - you are the victim. Nat's circumstances and behaviour are the persecuting forces.

It's called a drama triangle.

Persecutor - Victim - Rescuer.

You can start from any point on the triangle - you can bet there will be another two points.

Finally, Captain America comes clean. And now we know ... the rest of the White Knight story.

Or as my blind friend says, "Now I see."

Op says:

David
You make this crap up don't you? How pathetic. Looks like the new police state policy has turned this site into a wasteland. A site where racism is not permitted but sexism rules deserves it's demise. So long Mango Sauce.

ali gator says:

Ahhh...another one falling in love with a girl who fucks other guys for a living. And some wonder why they call us farang bah.

Gimpy1 says:

Incredible! If this story is even partially true, I have only one thing to say: you're a fucking moron! Actually, 2 things. I'm a little short this month. Could you send me a check?

eurobserver says:

who do they call "farang bah"? "us" you say... that's them, but not me...

ching_choke says:

Andy, your first responsibility is to YOURSELF.

You now know that some folk dont want to be saved - lesson learned, move on.

Why not try South America for your next holiday?

Meister says:

Are these stories really needed. Haven't we heard them enough? Some one might as well write a template for these stories!

reg says:

Brah...your letting the farangers down bigtime.Should we cut your story in half and divide it by 5 because surely you can't be that hopeless when it comes to skirt...Where's your self esteem son.Go to the self help shelf at the bookstore.
Hold on to your coin the next time you go another round with a bar-darling..If where to beleive your story ,by the sound of things you need to drop the lot$$$.Only then will you have some understanding of the depth of your stupidity..A wise person once said''If you continue to do what you've always done,you will continue to get what you've always got''The End.

Classic case of the deaf leading the blind.

i remember back in the last 70's a guy i worked with in saudi arabia getting his workmates to take money to his one-and-only in bangkok.....i also remember helping her spend it in the bars...

some people never learn

No1NParticular says:

Geez, you guys are harsh. Is that really your reaction when you see another human being in pain. Obviously he (repeatedly) made some poor choices but when caught up in a situation involving emotion, that's fairly common.

I'm sure all of you are godlike in your emotional, intellectual, and logical perfection but show some compassion for those who aren't, for cryin' out loud.

The Mac says:

Andy,

I did not read all comments but found out some were harsh, you h ave all my sympathy that things did not worked out but at least you could remember that you brought some sunshine on her family.

Now, I hope it will also server as a lesson, there are too many differences between us and them. Don't give up but tale extra precautions. I heard too many stories like yours.

This kind of relations could only work with you staying with her in THAILAND. I emphasise as many Thai ladies will not be happy leaving abroad.

Nah, you're doing a good enough job yourself.

She is deaf and he is dumb...

Maybe there should be a board for similar stories. Then again, who would have the drivespace?

DOG MAN says:

HEY. DONT WORRY MATE IM GOING THROUGH THE SAME SHIT,YOU TRY AND BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO,BUT THE TRUTH BE KNOWN THESE GIRLS ARE TRAINED UP FROM AN EARLY AGE THEY ARE NOT SUPID IN THE SLIGHTEST,SO BEWARE AND HAVE RESPECT FOR THEM ELSE THEY WILL BURN YOU.WHEN THEY ARE GROWING UP MATE THEY ARE CONSTANTLY TOLD ON HOW TO GET MONEY AND WHAT TO DO TO GET IT NO MATTER WHAT,TO THEM IT IS LITERALLY MONEY OR THEIR LIFE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT LOOKED AFTER LIKE WE ARE BY BENEFITS AND SO ON.SORRY TO BURST ANYONES BUBBLE BUT THEY ARE INTELIGENT MONEY MAKING MACHINES..WITH THE LOWEST FORM OF GETTING IT..

bill says:

You obviously could afford it. So why sweat it. When you first met her family were they in a dirt poor shack livin like shit? If so then hey you donated to charity even though you won't get the tax write off. Every year at my work I get hit up for charity donations. Some of the guys give up to $2400.00 a year to these rich hacks using charity as an excuse to take your money and give it to an executive as salary and 10% to the people it's meant for. I never give to charity I give it direct to the people it should go to in the first place. Ok, so you spent a few bucks that you could afford on a disabled hooker and her family, big deal. You did a good thing and if your tired of the girl find another. As long as you had a good time carry on mate, carry on. Don't bankrupt yourself but do what you want it's your money. It kills me to hear people say how they send money to a girl there but she cheated. If you love someone you want them to be happy. If gettin laid makes her happy well hell as long as your gettin yours what are you worried about? Also I think there may be a few hypocrites in here. I mean I have no intention whatsoever of being "faithful" to anyone. I do what I like even though I really am nuts about my thai chick. Kinda hard for me to expect her to be "faithful" when I know for a fact I can never pass up a hot piece of tail. Think on that guys. Why do you expect of her what you can't do yourself? Is it cause your spending a few bucks on her? Well hell man thats rent not ownership. last I heard you can't actually own someone legally.

marko says:

You are just a new farang that this thaihooker have fucked up.... been there done that..

Bugbytes says:

Now being old and even perhaps a little wise and having spent most of my working life in SE Asia. I understood from the word go just how the system operated. me rich, you poor = you take what you can from me. OK, it's not so much what one does as the manner in which etc. So I had a great time in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, China even then one day bumped into an educated, Balinese lady who worked in Immigrasi and never at any point took me for a cent. I ended up marrying her. That was 10 years ago. We still live in SE Asia and have a child. The moral is, be aware, know the rules and be able to discriminate. I have a great life.
