I have been to Thailand on business a number of times, and occasionally for golf with the guys. It is a place I love, so exotic, so friendly, and so easy.
My wife and I have been on holiday to resorts there too, and always had a great time. It's one of those places that intoxicates you, one of those places where sex and romance are always highest on the agenda. What could be better than a luxury resort, golden sands, moonlit balmy nights, and the fragrance of the East in the air. For us it always is the place where we indulge ourselves in more ways than one.
On this trip we had decided to spend a few nights in Bangkok, one of my favourite cities anywhere in the world. We had booked one of the top 5 star hotels in the centre of the city, and were enjoying the excitement of the city, the wonderful dining, and the classy ambience of the hotel.
Over drinks by the pool we were talking about the options for the evening, where to eat, maybe a cocktail first, what to do afterwards, the usual stuff. Out of the blue my wife said to me,
"What happens in those 'girlie' bars?"
I have to admit I didn't know quite what to say. I had been to some, of course, but it's not the sort of thing you mention when you get home from an 'arduous' business trip.
"What do you mean?" I replied.
"Oh come on, I'll bet you have been to some!" she laughingly replied.
"Well, a couple, but only for a few minutes." I clumsily replied.
"Well, what happens, are they strip joints?"
I could see she was not going to let this go so I explained that they were not strip bars, they were places where girls dance exotically, but not naked (strange though it may sound nakedness is not allowed in 'public' bars in Thailand). I clarified that they were places where (mainly) guys went to have a drink, be entertained and essentially get turned on by scantily clad Asian lovelies. Trysts can be arranged but that is private and away from the business of the evening.
I knew what was coming next – "And have you ever arranged a 'tryst' with an Asian lovely?" she asked, looking me straight in the eye.
Fortunately I was able to say – hand on heart – that I had not. She knows me well and can always tell if I lie, so she smiled and kissed me. I thought that would be the end of it but then the bombshell came.
"Can we go to one tonight?"
"You want to go to a Bangkok Girlie bar?" I asked, needing clarification.
"Yes, and not one of those tourist ones, one of the real ones, I want to see the real Bangkok."
"Okay, you're on!" .... My heart leapt at the thought, and planning the evening had suddenly taken on a new excitement.
I booked a table at a rooftop bar in central Bangkok. The restaurant and bar were situated about 26 stories up, above one of the plush hotels. The views are magnificent and the ambience intoxicating.
As we got ready she asked what she should wear. I suggested a loose silk top I had always thought very sexy, with no bra of course. She also opted for a blackleather skirt that always turned me on. Short, but not too revealing – as long as too much bending wasn't involved!
I shyly suggested that she wear no knickers and to my surprise she readily agreed. I was foaming at the mouth already!
