Pattaya Hotel Owners daily diary

**dirtydog** · 04-05-2007, 03:35 AM

This is a pretty funny blog, it has been going a few years now and is about the trials and tribulations of owning a hotel in Pattaya.

I really find it difficult to believe that thousands of western men over the age of forty, some well over, actually believe some nineteen-year old Thai nymphet is in love with them. These are young girls, and whilst they may come from a relatively poor background their escape route from poverty is not through marriage to an overweight, unattractive, balding moron three times their age. I know that there are examples of western men meeting, marrying and enjoying a long and happy life with their Thai female partner. I am fortunate in being one of those examples, and however much Mrs. Boss and I may disagree, we have been together many years and remain very close and are still in love with each other. We have three wonderful children, a successful business, and a beautiful house and our lot is a happy one. However, Mrs. Boss was not nineteen when I first met her and we took rather longer than a couple of weeks before getting engaged or becoming a married couple.

I do, in some way, feel slightly sorry for Jack (the fellow I mentioned in my last post). Although I remain steadfast in my belief that he should know better — much better. He is a gullible fool and he has been taken for a ride by a beautiful girl who has more tricks up her sleeve than a magician has rabbits. Jack is a simple guy. He is just looking for love, but unfortunately he is looking in all of the wrong places. These girls are professional bank robbers and they can spot their prey through a crowded smoke filled bar in the same way that from a long distance off, the hungry lion can single out the weakest wildebeest.
I was merrily typing away with this story when there was a knock on my office door. I started to look up but before my eyes were away from the computer screen the door had opened, Jack had walked in and said ‘I am not interrupting you am I?’ before embarking, without pause for breath, on another one of his mind numbingly tedious stories related to his fiancé. His unwarranted intrusion into my private space extinguished the little sympathy I had mentioned in the previous paragraph. He had crossed the line. It is not what I want, but you can bore me to death when I am in the general hotel areas, as I am there for that and, hopefully, other purposes. However, do not come into my inner sanctum, my escape from the world, without a pass signed in triplicate and a stamped appointment card.
Jack rambled on, my shoulders slumped, my eyes glazed over, alternative ways of committing suicide ran through my mind and I even laughed inwardly as I imagined his fiancé having sex with some other farang at this very moment, probably within a few hundred meters of where Jack now stood still proclaiming his undying love. ‘You know stuff about here, you live here, what do you think?’ I heard him say. Fortunately before I had the need to even consider a response he had continued “I think I will just send her twenty thousand baht today and not the fifty thousand she wants, that will teach her.” Yes Jack that will teach her, although what it is she will learn, if she needed such further education, is that you are a complete dimwit and that you should get the hell out of Thailand before your house, your possessions and your life savings are swallowed whole. You are just not mentally equipped with the necessary tools to be here.
My numbed state of being meant that I had completely forgotten I had been writing a story about this very person. It was sitting there open on my computer and Jack had apparently been looking at it as he talked at me. In order not to confuse you I would say here that, where necessary, I change the names of those that appear in my tales to save them from embarrassment to some degree and, far more importantly, to save me from lawsuits so Jack is not really called Jack! ‘What’s that about then?’ Jack asked and I now saw him looking closely at the computer screen ‘That your book then?’ ‘Ha ha, what a right plonker that bloke must be, you make it up or what?’ ‘I know I ‘ave me problems with the fiancé but that Jack, well there’s one born every minute, know what I mean, eh?’ Well, actually, yes Jack, I do know what you mean.

**DrB0b** · 04-05-2007, 10:09 AM

I thought this was going to be a raunchy thread about milk and cheese related shenanigans. What a disappointment

**MeMock** · 04-05-2007, 10:10 AM

**peterpan** · 04-05-2007, 10:17 AM

**Butterfly** · 04-05-2007, 10:47 AM

a different perspective of the usual lies and problem we sexpats come across everyday when we live here

**sabang** · 04-05-2007, 11:28 AM

It took a while for you to find this one DD.
Kevin is currently having a book published also, same topic.
I'm sure he would be more than happy to have his full blog copied here (might lead to more book sales), just contact him.

that's obviously Oz-speak...care to translate it Memers...

**kingwilly** · 04-05-2007, 02:47 PM

he has bookmarked it!

**dirtydog** · 04-05-2007, 02:54 PM

Thank God KW speaks a bit of English otherwise we would never know what those Aussies are going on about

**Kevin Meacher** · 05-05-2007, 10:50 AM

Well I am delighted that you have found my Blog. I am sorry that I did not know of this forum before, however, there are so many these days it is difficult to keep track of them all.

Apologies to those that find my writing boring but I hope that others will enjoy it, I have received well over 1000 positive responses from other forums. The stories are all based on true events and they are simply my way of relieving some of the frustrations and stresses of running a business here in Thailand. It is meant to be light hearted and if anyone is the fall guy, then more often and not it is me!

I note the comments about pictures and it is something the guy who runs the Blog for me and I are talking about adding. However, relevant pictures are not all that easy to take - normally one is in the midst of some disaster or other and getting the camera out is not the first thing on my mind, getting a gun, well, yes that is usually higher up the priority list! It is also rather difficult to allow some of those who feature in my tales to remain anonymous if I then actually include a picture of them!

I have been writing these stories on other Pattaya forums since last year although my book, Riff-Raffles, which is due for publication later this month recounts the tales since I arrived here permanently in December, 2004. The Blog has a few extracts from the book but has been set up for new stories since I completed writing the book in April.

If you wish me to post new stories and/or those that have appeared on the other forums to date I will be pleased to do so. Just post a message on the Blog and I will oblige.

Once again thank you for taking an interest and I hope to hear more from the members of this site in the future.

Best Wishes,
Kevin

Thank goodness some one can speak the queens english around here.

Yes that translation is correct.

**MeMock** · 05-05-2007, 01:33 PM

Hey Kevin, welcome, I think the content is awesome, cracked me up it did. So refreshing not to have a blog just about the sex industry.

Well done - keep it up.

**Kevin Meacher** · 05-05-2007, 02:26 PM

The sex industry? What sex industry? Being married to Mrs. Boss brings with it the need for me to deny all or any knowledge of such a thing!

**klongmaster** · 05-05-2007, 02:55 PM

^while Memers shows the typical 'christians' voyeuristic interest in it...

Don't worry about that, just some pics of tits and arses from your bar and maybe some pics of women as well

Sorry Nick but we have a Hotel and a Cafe/restaurant but NOT a bar as such. However, there are many out there who can post the pics - me I just stick to writing. Taking pictures of womens breasts and bottoms is likely to land me even more trouble with the indefatigable Mrs Boss than I care to imagine.

Reading about some one in Thailand who runs a guest house is interesting and I have liked what little I have read so far. Piss off with the 'christian' comments...frankly I am jack of them.

**klongmaster** · 05-05-2007, 06:50 PM

^oohhh...touched a nerve did we...

**MeMock** · 05-05-2007, 07:00 PM

What do you think Klongy? Pretty bloody stupid question really.

This bloke seems to have a good site and I comment on it how it is nice to read some real business experiences in thailand without having to resort to the tired old sex stories yet someone always seems to try and sink the boot in a little.

**Butterfly** · 05-05-2007, 07:02 PM

yeah, the blog is definitely refreshing, and the guy can write since you don't fall asleep through the story

Double bugger!

Good stuff Kevin! I really had to laugh at the story of the dunce who invited a girl back to the hotel where his wife was staying.
