If there's one thing more dangerous than girls with guns then it's girls with testosterone.
I have never had any interest to chummy up to the police because they are, like most people obsessed with power - thick as shit.
The mafia are only really worth knowing if you have a business and would only help you if there was something in it for them so I have slowly been infiltrating the ladyboy fraternity here in Samui over the past month and they are indeed a force to be reckoned with and a mafia unto themselves.
The leader of the pack is Lisa, the most attractive and statuesque and the dominant male, which is where their un-natural power comes in as they have the power of tits and fanny combined with the strength and sex drive of a man... That doesn't go, even if the sqinky and spagglepods do.
Her gang all work at the caberet where she is the star and they tolerate my presence and my camcorder, following them around rehearsing, drinking, watching TV and chasing and beating up backpackers.
My life with the ladyboys is a fascanating one fraught with potential danger but it can also be rewarding.
Once the flirting and gropes have stopped - which they will if you resist all temptation, don't flirt back and under no circumstances get drunk and give into the seductive charm of the more attractive ones - you will be accepted by them as an aquaintance and possibly even earn a little respect.
This was the case with Lisa, and for a while I was seen as a hard-to-get or shy farang man and because she is very vain and full of herself (albeit in a charming way) I assume she assumed that I wanted to sleep with her but didn't have the guts to ask.
It was a nice surprise to get my camcorder back having left it at her home the other night before going home, and I showed my grattitude by buying her a bag of ice for the Coca Cola that was in her doo-yen.
A Swiss man called Biat pissed me off yesterday so I made a quick phone call this morning and when he goes out tonight to whore around the go-go bars he'll be in for a nasty surprise because Lisa and her mates are gonna beat him up.
