Pattaya, 07-04-2008. I drink beer in the lobby of the PS gusethouse together with John, a bloke from Blankeberge in Belgium, watching the participants of the "Freakshow" arrive. It's near midnight and they strat ariving by motorbike taxi, lady-boys or katoys as the Thais call them. Montrosities really!!! The way they're dressed....the long wigs and high heels...fluorescent green lady underwear showing through net dresses....Just over the top. Rumour has it that high on Yaa Baa and desperate for money after a whole night of no customers, they can get very aggresive late at night. Soi Yamato is their hunting-ground and the PS guesthouse their short time trade hotel, using the rooms upstairs to take their clients to. Many are the stories of those that had the crazy nerve - and probably mau/drunk - to go up ... read more

Pattaya, 06-04-2008. I watch my TV while outside the rain comes down, a real tropical deluge. I'm dry and safe inside my room from the warth of the weather gods, when KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK some-one is knocking on my door. It's Mo, soaked to the bone, resembling in my head my ma's poodle after I rescued it from the Dommel, a river in the south of Holland it stupidly jumped into underjudging the river's current. I open the door letting her come in, I let her take a shower and a nap at my side of the bed. She needs a break from her hectic time on the boulevard, going with stupid oversexed farang men from the west, making money for Yaa Baa, sending home money for her two kids in Buriram. When the rain is ... read more

Pattaya, nighttime. She looks small and petite but her smile is enormous and affectionate. She wears nice expensive clothing and brand new platform shoes - high heeled shoe, they call them platform shoes and are extremely popular among the Hot Mommas. If I go "Boom-Boom-Boom" together in my room with her tonight I'll surely have a GREAT time!!! Instead I decide to wander off to soi 8, A soi full with open air bars. "Handsome man, I wanna go with you", girls in small tank tops call to me from the numerous bars. The bars are full with white men and brown girls, drunk English men with guts so big I believe they might give birth soon, their arms around girls often no bigger then 14 year old schoolgirls from Europe. Quite a few Russians around ... read more

Pattaya, 03-04-2008. Like always when I come to Pattaya I run into old lady-friends and farang contacts from earlier trips. I heard about Ferry's death - a weak and sickly looking Indonesian bloke, two years since I saw him last and I remember him as extremely likeable - Peter Big Tumpui and Kees De Mafkees. The former left for Amsterdam only yesterday and Kees is rumoured to be off to his local lady-friend in Qurat today. So I missed them both by a mere day... I also met my old lady-friend Paep but she's still mau -drunk in Thai - 24/7 on whiskey and many more Hot Mommas I have met during earlier trips on the boulevard or at one of the numerous bars in Pattaya. Some of these ladies have aged a lot since I ... read more

Pattaya, 01-04-2008. My mind is toremented by the - by now familiar - memories of the past while outside the overnight bus I've taken to Pattaya, a torrential rain comes down, a real monsoon downpour. These darned flashbacks inside my head allow me very little sleep. My neigbor on the other hand, snores happily under his blanket. So to give my mind a bit of diversion I watch the nightly Thai world go by from the closed confinement from my bus. By the time the bus arrives in Pattaya I've eventually fallen asleep and the dreams have worn out my fucked-up mind. the motorbike taxidriver that is supposed to bring me to Soi Honey-Inn is drunk on cheap Moon-Shine whikey, I can smell it on his breath so I tell him to stop deciding to walk ... read more
