IN EVERY WAY THE TOUR WAS GOOD...PLAYED LOTS OF GOLF,WENT GO CARTING,TIN PIN BOWLING,WHITE WATER RAFTING ,LOTS OF POOL AND LOTS OF LOVING.......
SO.....WHEN I WENT BACK TO WORK LAST THURSDAY EVERYTHING WAS FINE......THE USUAL QUESTIONS..........HOW DID YOU GET ON? WHAT WAS THE WEATHER LIKE?HOW WERE THE WOMEN? WOULD YOU RECOMEND IT FOR COUPLES? I ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE...........
BUT NOW REALITY HAS SET IN...IM DEPRESSED AS HELL.......I MISS ALL MY PALS....I MISS THE WEATHER ,THE DRINK AND THE FOOD..... I SUPPOSE THIS KICKED OFF WHEN I GOT A CALL FROM POO ON SATURDAY.......TELLING ME THAT SHE WENT WITH A MAN ON FRIDAY .........AND SHE WANTED TO TELL ME JUST IN CASE SOME ELSE TOLD ME........FCUK IT........THATS HER JOB AND I KNOW THAT......I LIKE THE GIRL BUT IM NOT HUNG UP ABOUT HER......BUT ITS A PAIN IN THE ASS KNOWING SOME OTHER GUY IS BANGING HER ........BUT I KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE I WENT WITH HER........SO I JUST GOTTA ACCEPT IT ......

Cool Life is a *****

Jonny, me lad...
What can I say, except we've all been there. In May, there was a gal named Aon in Koh Samui. The last 10 days there with her, she was like a Godsend to me, having had a bit of a rough tour, in fact, not my best one, but she sure made up for a lot. She wanted to go to America with me. She wanted me to stay in LOS and get a job there. She wanted me to call her every day. The day before I left, I was telling a Canadian buddy, a handsome young diving instructor how great she was. He had seen her, and expressed his admiration, then asked me where she worked. Not thinking, I told him where the bar was, and how to find it, since it was not in the bar sois there, but a bit out of the way. When I got back and didn't hear from her, I immediately imagined him w/ her and my stomach got all queasy every time I thought about it for a week. I finally did hear from her, but we soon lost contact. Ultimately I realized that if it wasn't him, then it would be somebody else. The first month was really rough.

But time heals all wounds. It's almost 3 months later. I'm healthy, happy, and I feel like a million bucks, and I couldn't give a shit about her. She's a fine woman, and I wish her the best, and next trip there'll be others. If I knew I would have to stay here, and suffer in this unsufferable world of "happy" couples, and the highlight of my week being a beer w/ the boys and a game on the tube, and all of that boring shit, I think I would really be permanently depressed. I mean that's OK for them, but not for me. On Sunday I go to my Thai class where this hot lil TG named Khun Pum who looks like a BG teaches Thai to a bunch of horny blokes like me. It's like going to school and the teacher is a BG. Great fun. And the the guy who serves the noodle soup at the outdoor church restaurant(it's almost just like the restaurants behind Tiger) says my Thai is improving.

And I come here to the forum and look at all the great pics and exciting posts that you send and the other BMs, and it sure as hell helps(Thanks again). Especially during that first month when the post-los-blues were the worst ever. And you and Mikey and the other guys are always good for a laugh, and when I say LOL, I really mean it!!

Post-LOS Blues is the price you pay for living on a ****ing cloud up in heaven for a few weeks. It's a little bit of hell cause life is just a ****ing seesaw and I would rather ride the roller coaster see-saw than live the plain boring ****ing life that the people who would never understand you or me live.

And don't get mad at me, 'cause you have all my sympathy, but if you hadn't come down with just at least a little bit of a case, I would have said "God damn that bastard s.o.b. Irish Jonny, the ****in' guy is not human and it just ain't fair." So forgive me my guilty pleasure but I have to confess that I did crack just a tiny wee smile when I read your last post. And you can cuss me out for that when I see you at Crimbo, because we'll have a ****in' bloody good time, and a good laugh about the LOS blues then, and our little cuties will laugh along with us as we raise a glass to the absurdity and insanity that is life on this strange planet.

And on the dull, cloudy days, when there's no more pressing matter demanding our attention, thoughts will turn to plots and schemes for that eventual someday when we will get off that plane in LOS with the knowledge that we ain't going back home for a year or two or never!! Because, what is life without a ****ing DREAM!!!!!

The first month is terrible!

But....now its 3 months ago, the weather is beautiful here in southern -France, I fu** my wife by the pool, she still has a great body for a 36 year old!!! The kids are for a month with the grand-parents and today a pal is coming over from Belgian to drink beer/wine every night by the pool.

In the evening I put on some Jazz I lit the pool, candles and there we go for another fine, but quiet evening!

Don't miss Los at all, but in winter I go back to have some fun, as i am retired and even here in southern France winters can be long

Just take the best of both worlds!

Unfortunately it's not all jazz fcuking by the pool and champagne for most of us I can sympathize with you IJ but for every high there is a low and god knows LOS is one hell of a high.

Like a junky waiting for his next fix, once hooked there's no turning back.

Fcuk the girls there's always plenty more don't try and reason with it in your mind.

You had a great tour mate and you'll have plenty more Xmas is just around the corner and all your mates will be back in LOS with you.

Take Care Jonny

Hi Jonny,

I understand you so much. More than 2 months that I am back home and I still feel depressed. I spent one week with my last BG/GF, she was funny and, as you, I knew that she would go with other guys after me but I said that I didn't wanna know.

We kept in touch and each time she was with a man, she told me. God, not easy to hear even if I knew that it is her job.
Last week, she told me that she wil get married on 20 Aug. I felt so bad afterwards.

So, what to say? To keep in touch with a BG is not a good idea except for the lucky bastards who can spend at least 6 months a year in LOS, I think.
It is nice to talk to the BG, we feel like if we were still there but at the same time it can break our heart when we learn some things. And it cost a lot of money if we call them. My last phone bill made me cry

I think a lot of us, me included, would spend at least one week with a psychiatrist after coming back home

Take care, Jonny and think at your next trip. For me it will be in January or February ... I can't wait

Yep I understand folks! But hey, I had my downs too, when I was fighting for my life in the hospital!!!

And you can have a ball in the week-ends! I love Tg's, but I never have been without a woman long in my life! Except these 2 fuxxxing years in a hospital-bed!

And about Thaii girls, don't you have any in your countrys!

In Chinatown in Antwerp, many Thai -owned bars, and sometime even a possibility...

Even here in France, i have my fun. Thursday 3 masseuses, 2 Thai, one French, who give a nice Massage! One is 21, I take Her for myself, and pretty! Single, could have a shot, but I can do a lot from my wife, but that would be pushing it a bit too far!

Anyway, life is beautiful, not only in LOS

Post los blues

After only one trip to los i feel like shit now, Im really ****ing depressed right now, But i think what makes it worse is the fact that i stayed with the one bg for nearly the whole time i was there, I gave her my e-mail, And today she sent me a message with all the "I love you crap" and "I miss you so much" and i know for a fact that she didnt write it, because when i was with her she was really honest with me and she wouldnt use the word love after such a short time, And now she sent me her number and wants mine, But after reading this post there's no way im sending her it, That would only make it 10 times worse, Id end up going out and buying a bob dylan album with the free skipping rope and hanging myself with it.

If i was going back at crimbo maybe id feel a bit better but i have to wait until april, And its killing me this was the best holiday i ever had, But this is the price i have to pay now, Only time will tell if it was worth all the heartbreak, Im just praying the answer is yes.

Jonny ,belive me mate it gets easier (only just)been back just over three months and have to say its now that i feel almost normal again, can now hold a conversation with some one and not bore them with tales of LOS.
the Board makes life easier ,almost like a part of you is still out there.
The best part for you is at least you know you will be back before most of us will be .
finally Malaysian i have to agree your a lucky f****r being so close like Bafana,so how about some more pics of your exploits for us poor souls the other side of the globe,to keep us going while we are surrounded by Farang b.w.a

Smile Beating the Blues!!

We've all been through it,as have you,and although it takes time,we know that we get over the post LOS blues,normally in my case about 2 weeks before I leave for my next trip (11,176,175 seconds to go - now who's a sad B*****d!!).Console yourself that even while you were having a great time,those of us in Farangland were having to live vicariously through your great reports!!!!

Nice post Jaybee,
I dont think you made much of a mistake though , if it wasnt your friend it would have been somebody else with her.
The problem with the los experience as we all know is simply the fact that know matter how much we say inside our heads 'these girls are prostitutes - dont get involved' , it never seems to work out that way.
We always meet that 'special one' who really does seem to like us for who & what we are , Ive been there too and can relate to everybody here who has had that 'sick feeling in the gut' knowing that little gem you grew close to in a short time is now off with another and calling him tilac.
2 of my long term girls in particular felt to me almost like the customer/bg barrier wasnt there at all when really it is , we must never forget we pay them now matter how much we deny it.
I have sometimes dont the worst thing by paying them an amount at the end rather than daily , this is bad because you start to convince yourself shes likes you for you and not your money.
The main problem for all of us is that many bg's really are true gems , they are nothing like the western concept of prostitute at all and it does feel like a real g/f.
My last tour , i think i really started to get the hang of distancing my emotions as i found a sweet little tilac who had a long term b/f arleady , he is sending her money every month & calling her every day ...not me.
This helped me a lot to stop myself from falling for her the way i have with others in the past, although like always it got confusing as she started telling me she liked me more than him & was not as sure about him now as before , all this kind of stuff can easily ''pull at a mans heartstrings'' but i kept true to advice given to me by Dirty mike and others like Bafana , i gave her the daily rate & on a daily basis , i only give email so i get no problems via phone calls either , this way is much better but i take their numbers if i feel like chatting with them.
The dilenma for me right now is that the last tilac wants to see me again and as usual 'misses me too much' , i have only called her 3 times since april , the last being on my birthday in july.
I would like to see her again because i know ive found one that dont fcuk me around as is happy with the standard baht without giving me demands for extra money + jewellery + shopping and so on.
I think its fair to say most guys here like me ARE single and feel lonely when we return , its not so hard for those with wives because they are lucky in that they can switch off easy.
I strongly feel there is only 1 solution , sadly its not that easy to get work in los and join the expat ranks but its what you gotta do if you want something more than holiday sex.
I feel for Jonny & knew he would be feeling a little down on return to Ireland simply because after reading his 'on tour reports' it was easy to see he had found a girl on many qualities & not just some who gives good boom=boom
Just want to say to everyone who has been through that you are not alone but you gotta battle in your mind and learn to switch off , i know its easier said than done but you just got to for your own sakes
Good luck to everyone & i hope we all find the true happiness we crave
