Thailand Holiday Girlfriend Stories

Story 1 Red Wine Gremlin

I’m a 65 year old man and a US Navy veteran. My first visit to Thailand was in 1979 on a Western Pacific cruise that included visits to many adult entertainment zones from Hawaii to Thailand. As a young sailor in the past I was fortunate to have many old salts help us navigate through these murky waters of adult entertainment in the Pacific and Southeast Asia.

After my divorce in 2003 and in 2006 while traveling to the Middle East for work I spent a lot of time in Amsterdam and was always drawn to the Thai girls working there in the adult entertainment district. They were all professional and efficient always a pleasurable time. My ex is a Filipino so Asians are my thing.

In May of 2023 I returned to Thailand for a 2 week holiday to revisit the footsteps of my past and have some fun. Over the years after my divorce I have had a few relationships with women so I was not going to fall in love. After 20 years of being a soccer dad and raising two children I was excited about my return to Thailand.

I wandered into Soi Cowboy and hit the bars. One bar in particular had a great group of girls. As custom has it I found the mamasan and asked to buy her a drink. We chatted as I was watching the girls on stage and one really stood out petite with short blonde hair great figure beautiful eyes and a great smile. She was 32 and her name was Dal.

After her set I had the mamasan summon her down. We made our introductions and then had a few drinks a lot of ribbing and laughs. It was lively. We both have a dry sense of humor. After a few rounds I felt comfortable with her and asked to pay her bar fine and she agreed.

It was an incredible night. Although she left early the next morning she left her number on the desk.

Bar Drinks and Decisions

Returning the next night I checked her out again. Played some pool went dancing had some fun. We then went to the rooftop of my hotel and had some snacks and a nightcap and then to the room again another great night of aerobics very intense. I’m loving this.

The next night was my last in Bangkok so I took her shopping for a dress for an evening out at a semi formal ball a tip for her. It was my idea not hers. We had a great dinner. After that we went back to her bar and started drinking. She seemed smart by not mixing her drinks and stuck to red wine. Then I noticed she was slugging it down quickly a glass in two or three gulps. This astonished me.

After a few rounds she started to become a wild cat standing in the booth and giving me a great personal show in the dress I bought her. I was going to myself “Wow tonight will be epic.

Back at my hotel she then got on stage and danced. The other girls on stage were not pleased. The mamasan got irritated and then got her off the stage and back to her seating area. More red wine for her.

As you would never give a gremlin food after midnight you should never allow a bar girl red wine in great quantities. It was my blunder.

After a bit she was zonked and showing signs of being very drunk. At times she was slouching on me. The mamasan told me to get her out of the bar now. Dal was very unsteady as we left her eyes half shut. I had to get behind her and steer her through the crowd steering her into Terminal 21 (end of Soi Cowboy) then turning left past the food carts heading to the corner to make another left back to my hotel.

The Red Wine Gremlin Takes Control

She started to get hostile and aggressive and pull away muttering at me and walking towards the high curb. I had to grab her by the waist to prevent her falling into the road. The crowd was staring. It looked as though I was roughly handling a girl and taking her somewhere to do unsavory things to her. My only thought was “I hope the police don’t see us.

I was not nervous going through the lobby but slipped in without incident.

In the room she took off her shoes and immediately collapsed on the bed and was out cold. So much for a fantastic third night before I leave for Pattaya.

After about 30 minutes I decided to undress her and slip the new dress from her limp body and hung it up. When I returned she had come to for a bit and was shaking her backside and giggling saying “Look at this” referring to her rear. Dal then rolled over and fell off an extremely high bed onto the floor. Wham!

I ran around and she was sitting up half slumped and groggy. She started breathing heavily and then I saw her start to heave. Oh no. Yep she did not just throw up she purged a couple of times in great volume and quite a bit of it ended up on the red wine and a light colored rug in a five star hotel.

I could not call housekeeping. Dal then stood up disoriented and proceeded to try to crawl back onto the bed. I was horrified at this point. I grabbed her by the arm and dragged her to the shower and started to clean her up. She was hostile and aggressive again for a moment but I managed to get her cleaned up. I dried her off and got her back to bed.

Cleaning Up the Hotel Room

Now I had to clean up well enough so that I didn’t lose my deposit or have to pay for the damages from the ordeal. It took a long while and I had to use all of my towels all of the towels.

She had no recollection in the morning of what had happened and was embarrassed as well as apologetic when finding out the details. I understood although not pleased. I was not angry nor did I express any displeasure towards her as I have done the same in my youth that others have had to deal with.

Overall two out of three nights aren’t bad. We had exchanged info earlier and kept in touch. I have recently seen her on my recent trips to Thailand the following October and then again in April. I have never reminded her of that previous night and she has not inquired about it.

Dear old Dal.

Story 2 Holiday Girlfriend

32 years ago when I was in my 20s I had the opportunity to travel the world and enjoy my hobby of aerobics with many girls here and there but never in Thailand. Then I got married and stopped having fun. I had always dreamt of traveling to Thailand but as a married man and a father of two I had to bear the family burden with an awful wife. I couldn’t achieve that trip until I was 54 when a friend of mine asked me if I would be interested in going with him. I jumped at this opportunity and spent 2 weeks there. I decided to enjoy life and aerobics again.

In January 2023 we flew from Paris to Bangkok and then to Phuket. My friend was staying with another friend and I booked an Airbnb. The next morning I managed to rent a motorbike and spent some time on Thai Friendly looking for a freelancer or a holiday girlfriend.

I had a positive contact with Amara a 39 year old woman who was neither beautiful nor ugly but quite average looking which was okay for me because I’m not particularly attractive either. I asked her whether she wanted to be my holiday girlfriend for 3 days and she asked me what she would gain in the process. Instead of talking about money I suggested that we meet in person and discuss. She accepted asking me if I could drive her since she had no means of transportation. Luckily I had a motorbike and she was located very close to my condo.

A few minutes later we met at her place. We had a good mutual feeling and agreed to go to the beach together. I took her on my motorbike and we spent a couple of hours sunbathing and discussing things. Her English was pretty decent.

She told me that she came from Isan where her mother lives with her 13-year-old daughter. She had a regular day job as a chef in a fancy restaurant nearby. She was neither a freelancer nor a working girl. She had spent a week on sick leave just before and was still available by chance.

Unfortunately she couldn’t swim and was afraid of water which is a shame in such a beautiful maritime country but I guess many girls especially from Isan are in the same situation. I went swimming on my own but overall we had a nice time together. We never mentioned money or anything related to a possible relationship. We were simply together at the beach which is a totally surreal situation for a European.

The Holiday Girlfriend in Phuket

At the end of the afternoon she suggested that we ride to a well-known place high above the sea with a beautiful sunset. There is a vast area there and a kind of lighthouse museum where you can climb on the roof and enjoy a great view. While we were enjoying the view I started getting closer to her then cuddling her which she seemed to appreciate. I would say that we became together at that moment.

After that we went back to her place. She took a few clothes and stuff and came with me to my condo where she would stay until I left for my next destination. In the evening we went out for a drink and had dinner in a nice Thai restaurant on the beachfront of Rawai. Back at my condo we had a shower and became intimate very naturally.

I was amazed. Even though I knew that it wasn’t hard to find a girlfriend for money in Thailand I was not expecting to meet a real one less than 24 hours upon arrival. I think that I was really lucky because normally she would have been working in her restaurant and not looking for men on Thai Friendly.

During the next 3 days we had a lovely time together visiting the area going to the beach eating seafood resting by the pool or exercising aerobics in bed. I was very surprised for it had been 30 years since I had a girlfriend coming on tour with me. I was certainly not expecting that but I enjoyed it.

Then came the end of my stay in Phuket and I offered to take her with me to my next stop Krabi. One of her friends owned a taxi and drove us there for a very cheap price 2000 baht. Krabi is a beautiful place perfect for a girlfriend experience with beautiful beaches day trips in longtail boats fancy bars and restaurants etc. We had another wonderful time there.

However the 3 day rule was already broken. She genuinely liked me and I was worried that she would get excessively attached to me if we stayed together too long. After all I was not looking for a long-term relationship and I knew that this would have to end eventually. I was going to Samui afterwards but I decided to let her go back to Phuket and resume work.

Giving Amara a Gift

Even though she never asked me for any money I wanted to give her something. For several days I wondered what amount would be appropriate not too much because she was not a working girl but enough to compensate for her time. She had told me that her monthly income was 20000 baht and we stayed 5 days together so I thought that 7000 baht would be reasonable.

On the last morning we parted and I gave her the envelope. She didn’t open it just yet but she thanked me and looked very sad to see me go away.

I continued my trip to Samui and even though I could freely practice my hobby with several working ladies not always 100% ladies by the way but that’s another topic I felt lonely and regretted not having taken Amara with me to Samui. Afterwards I went to Pattaya and then Bangkok but that’s a different story.

Return Trip Phone Discovery

Since then Amara and I have kept in touch daily online and I decided to come back in a few weeks and take her to Samui for one more week. During our remote exchanges via Line we had an awkward moment. One day she asked me to help her pay her rent and asked me to send her money but I refused saying that my rule was to give money only when we actually meet. I feared that this would ruin our plans but she took the hit and still stayed in touch with me. She still asked me to buy her a present for her birthday and I bought her an expensive perfume. She told me that gold would have been more durable maybe in the future.

So as planned in May 2023 I came back to Thailand and took Amara with me to Samui where we spent a romantic week in various places such as Lamai Beach and Fisherman’s Village riding the scooter visiting places enjoying cocktails and seafood on the beach and of course exercising aerobics together. I think that I never had such a good time as a couple in my life.

However not everything was perfect. Communication in English was difficult and we quickly found the limits of our compatibility in various domains such as swimming riding the motorbike at night or simply finding common interests. The culture gap was just too big.

One night before the end of our stay something bad happened. I had just fallen asleep when my phone started to make some music because of a background streaming app. Amara took it to silence it. Quite stupidly I hadn’t set the automatic screen lock so she could access it. Doing so she couldn’t resist visiting my Line history. And what she saw there did not make her very happy.

She saw the other side of the mirror with dozens of girls in my records and burst into tears. I only discovered this in the morning when she made a big fuss and I had a hard time realizing what had happened during the night.

Luckily she did not kill me in my sleep storm out of the room steal my most precious belongings or do any other crazy things. But this marked the end of our relationship. I immediately booked another room for the last night and we parted from each other only sharing the taxi to the airport the day after each of us taking a different flight. I still gave her 10000 baht for her time.

The End of the Girlfriend Experience

This was a bitter end to an otherwise very pleasant six day girlfriend experience. I should have been more careful with my phone. Anyway our story would have ended there but it could have been more graceful.

Story 3 Asian Perspective

I am from a neighboring country of Thailand and I’m in my late 50s. I completed my O and A levels in the UK and completed my degree there. I am married with two children and both are still in university. Admittedly I was and to a lesser degree am still a monger and have traveled to satisfy my mongering and golf needs since the 1990s. I have traveled to Phuket Bangkok and most often to a small border town called Betong.

I hope to give you and your followers a perspective of relationships by an Asian which I believe would give you and your followers a more logical and perhaps more plausible explanation as to why most well 99.9% of men including yours truly end up with a crash and burn story with regards to relationships.

I had a customer in Penang Malaysia in the 1990s and had to travel and stay there at least two nights every week for about 5 years. After a few months I discovered Betong was only about an hour or so away from my customer’s factory. So based on the promise of nightly joy in Betong I decided to stay in Betong every night whilst working at my customer’s factory.

Betong had about five go go bars that were open from lunchtime till about 1000 p.m. after which time many girls would go to the two discos in town until around 300 a.m. Most of the girls come from all over Thailand including Bangkok Isan Chiang Mai Chiang Rai etc.

The go go bars were different to those in Phuket and Bangkok. Rather than the girls asking for lady drinks they drank whatever you would drink normally beer they would ask for “flowers.” These were in fact a string of plastic pearls which cost 100 baht each. This flower system was adopted by many bars in my own country where Thai and Chinese girls would dance or parade on stage. However here a flower could cost at least $10 to as much as $500 each. Men would give these flowers for the girl to spend time with them after their dance or after they had been on stage singing.

Rumor had it that some of the pretty girls could earn as much as $15000 a month. Only a minority of the girls would spend the night with the customers as this was illegal and enforcement was strict in this area. In addition some girls from neighboring countries were all here on tourist visas and strictly speaking were already working illegally.

Life in Betong

Most of the customers in Betong were from my country and farangs were very few. There were even a handful of Russian girls working in Betong along with a few dozen girls from China. There was no bar fine practice here but overnight rates cost between 2000 to 5000 baht for the Russians commonly paid directly to the girls and not the bar.

Most of the bars were owned and run by my fellow countrymen but I did learn that they all had local Thai partners.

Relationship with Nap

After going to Betong for a couple of months I decided to try to hitch up with a girl as opposed to picking one up each time I was there as I thought it would be nicer to develop a relationship with somebody. I ended up with a pretty girl her name was Nap and she was from Bangkok. I used to give her about 40000 baht a month to help her family. Nap never asked me for more money or gifts.

After about 3 months she decided not to work anymore as a dancer and simply spent two or three days every week with me. Occasionally she would come with me to Penang and stay there if I needed to be there. I would simply pick her up in my car at the border and drop her off when I headed back to the capital. The diversion cost me an additional 2 hours of travel time which was not too bad.

About a couple of years into the relationship Nap called me and told me that she was pregnant. Despite the offer of a paternity test to prove I was the father being in love I said that was not necessary. But I needed to let her know my limitations. So when we next met I made it clear that since I was already married I could never be officially the father of the child i.e. my name could not be included in any documents such as the birth certificate etc. I did however promise to pay for all the expenses.

Nap went back to Bangkok a couple of months before the birth but she was okay for me to continue to stay in Betong whenever I needed to visit my customers up north. I did meet with other girls there but that was always only physical no emotions were involved. Most of the girls knew Nap but only a couple would not want to join me in my hotel.

Anyway about a month after the birth Nap flew down to meet me and really tried hard to show that she missed me.

A few months after this I had to go to Nepal for some work and I decided to bring Nap along. So I stopped off in Bangkok for one night before meeting up with her the baby and her family before flying off to Kathmandu the following morning.

Questions About the Baby

Honestly the baby did not really look like me but I never mentioned this to anyone. The baby looked a little like her sister’s husband who was a soldier. This guy was always around whenever I visited her in Bangkok. He and her sister did not have children and he seemed to be very close to my child. I was happy that there was someone that was looking after the baby so I did not think too much about it.

Nap would fly to meet me every week when I was in town thank God for budget airlines. This cost me about $100 for the flight. But there were times when Nap wanted to visit her friends in Betong so I would simply drop her off at the border and pick her up the following week.

About a year later she told me that her friend wanted her to work in a restaurant she owned. I was told the restaurant was in Bangkok. I said “Sure go ahead earn some cash perhaps she could find some purpose in her life.” She also said that because she was now working there may be times she could not meet up with me whenever I visited my client. However she said it was okay if I wanted to go to Betong.

From this time on almost all the time I expected her to fly to meet me she said she wanted to save money by taking a bus from Bangkok down to Betong and I could pick her up in my car on the way to see my customer. Whenever I go to Betong I would park my car just before immigration and take a taxi.

The Discovery

On one occasion Nap said she could not meet me because there was a big function at her friend’s restaurant. I had decided to spend a night in Betong. There was this taxi driver who knew both of us and when he was driving me he asked if I was going to meet Nap. I said yes.

He took me to a small restaurant and I am almost certain I saw her sitting on one of the chairs. The taxi driver then went into the restaurant while I just sat in the taxi not sure why I did that probably because I did not want to know the truth. The taxi driver returned and said she was not there and then drove me to my hotel that was a 15-minute walk away.

I called Nap from my hotel as I normally did and she insisted that she was working in Bangkok.

Anyway I ignored my suspicions and continued to visit my usual go go bar. I met up with an older very experienced lady who knew about Nap and was always honest with me. She told me that she had bumped into Nap in Betong with her girlfriend and Nap had asked her not to tell me she had seen her in Betong. She said she should not lie to me and that she and many other girls said I was a good guy and treated everyone politely and so she felt that I needed to know the truth.

I suppose I could have gone to the restaurant and confronted Nap but I guess I was just a coward.

The following day on the way back home I called Nap and asked her again if she was in fact in Betong and not Bangkok. After a while she finally admitted that yes she had been in Betong and was working with her friend in the restaurant. She also admitted that she was having an intimate relationship with this girl. However she would still meet up with me like before so long as I continued to finance her.

More Bangkok Lessons

Instead of simply calling it a day I thought it best to try everything I could to win her back. I told her that when I met her next I would like to discuss our future.

I met up with Nap in Bangkok about a month later and had planned to stay there for 3 days. I met her in my hotel and she was adamant about her love for the girl in the restaurant but she was willing to stay with me while I was in Bangkok. Stupidly I even offered a closer relationship if she was willing to live in Bangkok and look after the baby. I could see by the look on her face that she had no feelings for me at all.

So the following morning I booked a flight home.

A few months later Nap asked me to meet again as she needed to go back to Bangkok. I agreed. And to cut a long story short I was there this time to give her more money as the restaurant in Betong was failing. The jewelry and watch I had previously bought for her were no longer with her and she admitted she had to sell all her belongings to try to keep the restaurant afloat. I gave her 10000 baht and left Bangkok.

About another 3 months later I got a call from Nap saying that she would be working in a pub where I live. I met up with her and learned that the restaurant business had failed she had broken up with her lover and decided to work here. I guess she was hoping to develop another relationship with me but I was too heartbroken and did not fall for her renewed charms. I think she worked here for about 3 months before finally heading back to Bangkok.

The last thing I heard from her was that she was involved with a French guy. I wished her all the best and have not heard from her for a few years now.

Lessons Learned

The important things to keep in mind are we are on holiday the girls are working. So the girls’ number one objective is money and not love.

Try to determine their main use for the money. Good reasons are family or some future business ambition. Bad reasons include boyfriend or husband and gambling. Those girls with good reasons tend to be more honest and will look after you until you leave while those with the bad reasons will always be trying to scam you out of even more money gold and gifts.

Try not to judge the girls or change them into something they can’t become. Accept them for what they are and try to have a relationship with mutual respect.

Never trust these girls with your belongings and don’t leave things in your room which offer temptations to steal.

When dealing with Thai men in bars and restaurants try to treat them with respect like you would anybody else.

One evening when I was having a drink with one of the doormen in a popular bar he told me that he came from the same village as a girl that I liked in this bar and that when he lived in the village this girl was actually a man which had now had an operation to change him into a woman. So had I not been friendly with the doorman I might not have found out this information until it was too late.

Ghost Child Story

I had met a regular girl called Nantan. I later discovered that she had some very bad habits and was always looking for money. She had asked me once in a 7 Eleven to buy her some sweets. I asked if she had a child she said yes. One day after dancing she asked me to go with her to her room to pick up some things and that she needed to give some food to her child. When in the room she opened a cupboard where I saw some sweets chocolates and toys that I had previously bought for her but there was no child in her room. She later explained that she kept a ghost child in her room and he helps her whenever she asks for a wish to come true.

Many Thai people believe in such practices. It is the same in my country and others in Southeast Asia Africa and South America. Despite the fact people claim to be Buddhists or Catholics or Muslims or Hindus spiritual beliefs play a large role in these religions.

Based on the above it remains the only logical explanation as to why many like I end up looking stupid.

Story 4 Two Tragedies

My first trip to Thailand was in 2000 with a few friends and I had a great time. I have since returned many times. One of my friends in Australia had a Thai wife who hooked me up with one of her friends as I was single at the time. This lady had a Thai restaurant in Sydney and I ended up being with her for 13 years.

I decided to retire at 61. She and my friend’s wife suggested we live in Thailand. I flew back looked at Pattaya but decided on Hua Hin. In 2011 we made the move and all was okay until my girlfriend kept going to so many temples. She would be away for weeks sometimes. Then she started to get phone calls day and night. She told me it was her brother. She would never leave her phone lying around.

One day she mistakenly left her phone at home when she went out and I successfully guessed the password as she uses the same password for everything. I checked the number that had been constantly calling her and yes you’ve guessed it correctly it was not a brother’s number which I knew.

The phone calls continued but I had written down the number. I decided to call this strange mobile number and when I did a Thai guy answered but did not speak English. That night I confronted her. Of course she denied it and insisted it was her brother as she has changed his number. I packed her bags booked a flight back to Australia and told her if she called this guy one more time we were finished. She forgot that the phone was in my name. I checked so many times she had called him from Australia. So good to my word I ended it all.

I remained single in Hua Hin for a year then met a Thai lady in a phone shop. We hit it off at once. She was a lot younger than me but she was lovely. We were together for three years and had some great times.

The Tragedy

Then I got a phone call from her girlfriend telling me that she had collapsed and was in hospital. I rushed to the hospital and upon arriving I saw all her friends were crying. When I spoke with the doctor to ask him what was wrong with her he pulled back the screen around the bed. All of her lovely hair had been shaved off. I was shattered.

The doctor told me she had a tumor in her head that had burst and they must operate immediately or she’ll die.

After the operation she spent a month in intensive care. She could not speak or walk. Her family wanted her back in the family home in Surin. After discharge I drove her back to Surin as I would find it very difficult to look after her by myself. She eventually got a bit better but she hardly knew who I was.

I would visit her weekly. It took 10 hours to drive to Surin. I would stay a few days and leave in tears.

A year later I had to return to Australia for a cancer operation. I won’t go into detail but my retirement visa for Thailand had expired. I kept in touch with her family and I applied for my pension here in Australia. I got it but I was banned from visiting Thailand for 2 years for overstaying in the kingdom.

In 2017 I received news that she had days to live. I pleaded with the government here to let me go and see her but they refused. She passed away a week later. I was a mess and all I could do was send money for her family for the funeral.

Returning to Surin

After my 2 year ban was over I flew back and paid my respects to her and her family. I gave them money to help them out. They shared my loss as I did theirs. I travel back every year and make the effort to see her family as I consider her family my family.
