Pattaya Bar Etiquette Lesson


Somehow when men from the West come to Pattaya they lose whatever manners their parents had beaten into them as children. Bad behavior becomes almost a prerequisite for a good time. drunkenness, rowdyism, and macho stupidity are usually forgiven by our Thai hosts, but the other night a foreign patron at Lucifer’s Discotheque overstepped the lines.

The Swede had touched a woman's behind, unaware that she sang for the establishment. When the police arrived at the scene of the crime, she demanded that he be arrested despite his profuse apologies. The local gendarmerie obliged by taking the offending hand and its owner to Soi 9 for the charge of groping.

At the police station the irate singer demanded his incarceration and the Swede was sentenced to a night in jail. The next morning the judge assessed a small fine and warned he didn't want to see him again.

The Swede's only defense was that he thought the singer was an ex-girlfriend., which means fondling ex-girlfriends is an old Nordic tradition.

Some men can't keep their hands to themselves.

Like GW Bush groping Chancellor Merkel of the Porsche Reich.
