What if...

[sHeENa_M]

...you really JUST want a beer, sit alone and watch the world go by? How do you tell the BG (without any loss of face) to clear off? And what do you say if you rather talk to her much more attractive friend?

Just finished my first tour and had some problems in handling my "bar enviroment". Help me out guys.

Thanks... :love2:

It's pretty simple you just say I like your friend she is suay mak mak!

 

[Penguinfruit]

That first tour can be tough! Even if you've read the posts in places like this and talked to friends about it, there is no way that you can understand what it is really like until you have experienced it!

As for telling a BG to clear off. When she asks for a drink, say No. Order your own drink at the bar from the bartender, don't let her take the order for you. If she asks you if you want to play a game, say no, thanks. Be polite and smile the whole time you are saying no to her.

If you would like to meet her friend, tell her you just want to be "phichai"(older brother), which means I just want to be friends with you. Call her nongsao(younger sister). Then ask her to introduce you to her friend! By telling her you want to be phichai, you are showing goodwill, but making it clear that you don't want to go with her(friends don't f*ck friends, even in LOS!). Other ways to let her know you are interested in her friend, are to ask her for the friend's name, or to ask her if her friend has a boyfriend yet.

I think that usually if you are warm and friendly, but very clear about your intentions, that they will rather give their friend a shot at you than see you leave alone.

If you just want to enjoy your drink alone, then smile, be friendly, and say, "Dtong gan khon diow."(I want to be alone).

Phichai sounds like pea-chai (chai rhymes with eye). Dtonggan khon diow sounds like "Dtong-gun cone dee-owe."

P.S. It is funny how words like older brother, and phrases like "I want to be alone" which would probably be very awkward to say in English, are very easy to say in Thai, and make perfect sense to the girl you are talking to. They get your point across right away in terms that they can easily understand.

I think that will work, as well. But don't forget to say it with a smile!

Also, you might want to ask a Thai person how to say suay maak maak, and practice it. If suay is said straight out, it means something like "Damn!" or "Damn it!" To mean pretty or beautiful, it must be said with a rising lilt. The first time I tried saying it to a girl was while I was making love to her. I pronounced it wrong, and didn't understand when she got really upset, and finally yelled at me, "Why do you say that to me, why do you keep saying that?" I was saying, "Khun suay!"(You are pretty), but she was was hearing "Damn you!" :what:

[dancingdilemma]

[Pompal 09.]

ahhh,
drinks in soi paridise does he ?

 

[Un Chin C]

tell her you are married, tell her you like lady boys..

you dont have to **** her, you dont have to play the dice game, but remember she's just doing her job trying to make money so dont be too rude to her.

 

[Secret]

Married makes not one bit of difference.. In fact they often figure on it being an easy ST..

 

[razzy]

Yes i agree ... on my first trip one BG asked me why i had no ring on my finger , all other farang men do have ring on finger she said hahaha

[Pompal 09.]

Just go with the flow.

Tell her you'll only go with her if she accepts 500 baht lontime, you can take all the pictures you want and she has to take it up the ass...

You never know you might get lucky but that will usually get rid of a BG and all the rest of them at the same bar as well

 

[khorat k]

Good one, Jason! Now why didn't I think of that!! mg:

 

[JUSTIN BIEBER FTW!!!!!!]

I always say like it is:

Thanks not tonight, after 2 weeks Patong I run out of petrol.

 

[Rafferty D]

Hi!
I always say that my batteries are run out, and that I must recharge them a few days first! :ytounge:

You don't need to speak Thai to have loads of chicks in LOS. And isn't that why we all love it so much there? You could be speaking Pig Latin and it would make no difference to a BG!
