Studying For The Oldest Profession
There’s certainly a massive amount of talent in the clubs in the Big Mango, much of it students working to pay off their college fees. They start by working for tips and slowly slip in to doing more adventurous things for their money.
A couple of years ago I had the good fortune to meet an absolutely stunning Uni student in a cocktail lounge on Sukhumvit Soi 33. She had looks, figure and enough English to be fun and to also make it clear to me that there would never be anything in it for me beyond company in the bar. Over a period of weeks I got to know her a little better and we exchanged e-mail addresses. Over the following few months we communicated more by e-mail than in person, (I was in Pattaya, she was in BKK), and a familiarity developed that probably wouldn’t have in the bar.
One day I get a ’sick buffalo’ mail from her requesting 7,000Baht urgently for Uni fees. She said she didn’t want to do something she’d regret to get the money but was desperate and would be especially grateful if I could help her. I gave it plenty of thought and eventually sent her the 7,000Baht. I didn’t see her in person for another 2 months but when I did she made it clear she wanted to come round to my hotel room. My imagination was running wild and I was hoping it wasn’t misplaced. It wasn’t and she was equally as stunning without her clothes as she was in them.
I received the same special and free attention for 3 separate visits to BKK but the gaps between my visits grew longer and then Loy Kratong came round and she wanted me to spend it with her. I couldn’t make it so things just sort of fizzled out from there. Some months later she confessed that she was no longer attending Uni and was working the club in the Conrad Hotel for big paying Japs. She had the looks and the personality to be a big earner so maybe the nightlife became more attractive to her than slogging away in Uni for a moderately paid office job.
It stills saddens me to think of such a beauty slipping in to the life. She had options but still chose what is reportedly the oldest profession in the world. I can only hope she finds a wealthy man to care for her before her looks begin to fail. One things for sure, if I’d had the money she wouldn’t have made it to the Conrad.
