She’s very independent and lives on her own in quite a big room that she keeps really nice, with lots of plants and funny little knick knacks in it. Last time I was there I bought her a couple more plants, one of those wooden elephants and a pair of curtains at the Friday market. I think it cost about 1000 baht all in. She was so chuffed, she must have opened and closed the curtains 100 times in the hour after she put them up. Even so, I said no, that’s OK, we’ll stay in a nice hotel.
All the time we’ve been in touch, she’s never asked me for a thing – and with TG’s, you can’t help feeling just a tiny bit suspicious about that. The longer they go without hitting you up for something, the more you start thinking that when it does come, it’s going to be a monster.
So finally, a few days ago, when she sends an email saying ‘you remember last time you promised you would buy me something?’ I get that uh-oh here we go feeling. I don’t remember saying that I’d buy her anything in particular, but I know I say a lot of things when I’m pissed that I instantly forget. So I write straight back and ask her what it was that I promised. I’m thinking maybe a necklace or something like that. But she writes again – ‘sorry, I hope you not angry but you promised to buy me A FRIDGE!!!!
I don’t know why it made me laugh so much, but it did, and I’ve told her OK – but only a little one, mind. So on this tour, as well as the usual drinking, eating and ****ing, it looks like I’ll be spending at least one afternoon mooching around the Pattaya equivalent of Dixons!
