The untold story of the nasty tailor.
In about a month I plan on leaving Europe of the second time this year. My first trip this year took me to Mexico with my former girlfriend, but the more I think about it, the more I want to go to Thailand again and have some time of my own. I spend nine wonderful weeks there in the year 2001 and if I can get a cheap flight, I would like to go there again. I had a great time and met a lot of interesting people. Yesterday I read my diary that I published online about my first trip to Thailand and I was shocked about how many little stories and details, that I still remember very well, where left out back then.
This is one of these stories I’m going to share with you:
Thailand is famous for its tailor made cloths, the cloths are very cheap and if you find a good tailor you also get good quality. A friend of mine recommended a tailor close to the main railway station to me and I decided to get a new suite, a coat and a few new shirts.
I had to go there a few times, to try the cloths, and to make suggestions on how I want them to be made. On two of these meetings I was accompanied by girls for an second opinion. The girls where quit good looking and one of the salesmen noticed them. When I arrived at the tailor alone to pick up my cloths, the salesmen, a young men from Nepal, asked me on how to hit on western girls. He was a bit smaller than me, but always dressed very nicely and a smile on his face. To keep it short, a guy who shouldn’t have troubles to get in touch in girls at all. He asked me where he could meet western girls like I had with me the last time. I laughed and told him that Bangkok is full of them and they usually stay at Khao San Road, the place all the Backpackers stay.
He kept asking and wanted me to take him to Khao San Road and the backpacker places and introduce him to western woman. I tried to change the subject, but he would keep asking. He told me that he did not have any friends and that he feels lonely all the time and hadn’t been with a girl since he arrived in Thailand three years ago. Then the whole conversation turned nasty when he confessed that his dream was to have sex with western girls. Well, actually he said that he wanted to “f**k” them and that he would take me to places where I could meet Thai woman in exchange. I got very angry and yelled at him, told him that he did not had any respect for woman and that he should learn how to behave and that it was no wonder that he wasn’t with a girl. It was one of the rare occasions I my life where I was actually really angry. I told him to get my cloths and left the store.
