Hi Hills Old Bean,
You must know why these bar girls are just so unreliable (as far as telling the
truth is concerned) and just so reliable in doing a runner (once the mug’s
pockets are turned inside out). Is this a special brand of “Thainess” or some
special brand of people. A few of us regular Saturday morning folk are
interested to know. Keep going as we are with the bar girls we’ve got, or just
be shot of them all? By the way, we pay them a good salary each month. Over to
you Hills Old Bean.
Charlie
Dear Charlie,
Just when did you think it is OK to address someone as “Old Bean”? Or even more
interesting, who taught you these appalling manners? Why should I give you the
benefits of my superior knowledge after such rudeness, and forget about
“Thainess”.
But back to your insulting email, you get what you pay for, in this world,
Charlie my ignorant Petal. If you are paying for company, who is going to stay
after the golden goose has been cooked? These girls are far to well schooled in
the fleecing department for your simple minds. Stick with the bar girls you’ve
got, and expect to find one day that the ATM doesn’t have any money in it. It
will be empty, just as your nest will be.
Dear Hillary,
I don’t have any problems that relate to broken hearts, I just want to tell you
and your readers that there are some absolutely lovely girls out there who are
looking for a decent man for a husband. If you want to find the right kind of
girl, be the right kind of man yourself. After 15 years of marriage to the same
Thai woman, I think I am qualified to write this. We share everything, including
the financial side of our relationship.
James
Dear James,
I am delighted to get your email, especially when you see the one above your on
this page. Self-centered men who think the world owes them a living, and a girl
for the kitchen and bedroom because they pay a “salary”. What are they looking
for? A partner or a slave? Oh, they make me so angry!
Dear Hillary,
More good fun in your letters again this week (issue 38). I was going to take
your advice as given to Lenny namely that us non Thai speakers should carry the
burden of language difficulties. I told my GF that I was going to spend my days
learning Thai. She on the other hand can give up her English classes that she
enjoys so much and work out how to earn some serious housekeeping money. She
opted for life as normal and against change.
On a more serious note as we all know a girl brought up in a cosmopolitan
environment will pick up a language much faster but do we really want a GF with
such sophistication! What do you think Hillary?
Grafter
Dear Grafter,
What an interesting letter! You are worried that by changing the status quo your
GF might get sophisticated! You should be proud of anyone like that. And just as
I told Lenny that he should go and learn the language of this country, why would
you stop your GF learning yours. You could help each other out. Don’t be mean,
let her continue with her lessons which “she enjoys so much” and get off your
derriere and line up for Thai lessons.
Dear Hillary,
I have to laugh at all your letter writers, wondering if they have found THE
ONE, when they should start looking at themselves to see if they would be THE
ONE for any of the women around here. I’m not talking about the girls from the
bars, who are only there for one thing - money, while the blokes are also there
for one thing - sex. They’ll never find the right one there. I’m talking about
the ones you call “good girls”, and these blokes aren’t even looking in the
right place, and I reckon no self respecting girl would want to be seen with
some fat old bloke with a skinful of booze every night. You try telling ‘em,
Hillary, I’ve given up. They’ve got no (expletive removed) idea.
Al the Advisor
Dear Al,
I understand where you’re coming from Petal, but if you want to be an advisor
you’ve got to do more than throwing a bucket of manure over the people wanting
advice. Once the average chap understands what the bars are for, and what the
girls who work in the bars are there for, then you’re about half way there to
finding someone who might be THE ONE and obviously not from the bar scene. The
bars are for fun, not for evers. You are correct when you say that the chaps
looking for a partner have to present themselves in a good way as well. No Thai
lady is looking for the kind of farang you describe. Finding THE ONE is
difficult in any society, in any country, and is no different here. Just keep on
showing those who ask of you where they shouldn’t look, and you’ve done your
bit, Al.
