Heart to Heart with Hillary

 

Dear Hillary,

I have had a jokey type relationship with my hairdresser for about six months. Last week she made it clear (I thought) that she would be interested in a little after hours fun, and we ended up with some slap and tickle in the back of the salon, nothing too deep, just what you’d call petting. I dropped by today with the idea of floating the idea of her closing the shop for an hour or two one afternoon, but she was not even in for a bit of a cuddle, so I did not pursue the idea. What gives with these Thai women, Hillary? I’ve had this before with lots of sexy suggestions, but then backing out at the last minute. Is this the way their culture demands or what? And should I keep trying with this dame?

Johnson

Dear Johnson,

My Petal, you have mistaken harmless fun with the real thing. Your hairdresser is just trying to keep you as a customer. A little snog every so often does not mean that she is ready for a roll between the covers at the local Lonely Hearts Hotel, room by the hour. Don’t get so serious with these ladies, they are just having some fun with you, but that’s all. If you are only looking for short term rumpy pumpy company then a bar beer, rather than a barber, is where you go. Understand now?

Dear Hillary,

My Thai girlfriend has come to live with me, and that’s great, but for one thing - she eats the worst smelling food you could ever imagine. Dead socks would be the closest I could come to describing it. When I walk in the door of my condo, I can tell right away whether she has been eating the stuff during the day. I thought all Thai food was supposed to be the tastiest in the world. Tastiest? You wouldn’t go within a couple of yards of this stuff. What is it, Hillary?

Jim

Dear Jim,

I will bet that your girlfriend comes from Isaan, and the dead socks is a delicacy called Pla Ra, which you can only really get in the Isaan region. Does she have Isaan friends which have come down from the village? They usually bring large bottles of this fermenting fish mixture and share it around amongst their friends. It must be eaten on the tablecloth on the floor to get the really authentic taste of Isaan. You won’t break her of this habit, my Petal. You may have to insist that the Pla Ra is kept in a sealed container on the balcony, and eaten there too! Best of luck.

Dear Hillary,

I bought a house for my Thai lady and I, at her suggestion, because she said a condominium apartment would be too small for us (there’s only two of us mind). Well, to buy the house it had to be in her name, but I was OK with that, as we’d been together for almost a year. Now that we’ve got the place, she has totally changed. It’s not a house for she and I, but now a house with all her relatives there on rotation. They all seem to get two week holidays all year round as there’s always somebody in the second and third bedrooms. I am not getting any fun out of this, and there’s no way I could call this arrangement “my” home. Any suggestions?

Thomas

Dear Thomas,

Talk about rushing in where angels fear to tread! However, she is correct that a condominium would be too small, because she was aware she had to fit the relatives in as well. You knew this lady “for almost a year” and you decided that was long enough to invest your money in a house in someone else’s name. Is that what you would call “due diligence”? That’s really not good business practice, Petal. You can try having it out with your lady friend, but reading between the lines, I don’t think you’ll get far. You are between a rock and a hard place, and you have only got two choices - like it or lump it, I’m afraid.

Dear Hillary,

I see that there has been a crackdown recently about copy goods - shirts, CD’s and watches and the like. Pictures of them being burnt in the street and all. Why is this? Everyone knows that you go to Asia to buy real bargains. I always bring back a sack of watches and all the latest movies on DVD and some footy shirts for the blokes. What’s wrong with this? If I can’t get the stuff in Thailand any more, do you know where I can get them? I like Thailand, but I have to look at what I can take back to sell, to pay for the trip.

Copy Cat

Dear Copy Cat,

Sorry about your holiday expenses business, but most countries are now closing those loopholes. Mr. Prado and Columbia Pictures have more clout than the consumers. However, all things are possible in Thailand - go to the local markets and try there!
