I have been to Thailand on business a number of times, and occasionally for golf with the guys. It is a place I love, so exotic, so friendly, and so easy.
My wife and I have been on holiday to resorts there too, and always had a great time. It's one of those places that intoxicates you, one of those places where sex and romance are always highest on the agenda. What could be better than a luxury resort, golden sands, moonlit balmy nights, and the fragrance of the East in the air. For us it always is the place where we indulge ourselves in more ways than one.
On this trip we had decided to spend a few nights in Bangkok, one of my favourite cities anywhere in the world. We had booked one of the top 5 star hotels in the centre of the city, and were enjoying the excitement of the city, the wonderful dining, and the classy ambience of the hotel.
Over drinks by the pool we were talking about the options for the evening, where to eat, maybe a cocktail first, what to do afterwards, the usual stuff. Out of the blue my wife said to me,
"What happens in those 'girlie' bars?"
I have to admit I didn't know quite what to say. I had been to some, of course, but it's not the sort of thing you mention when you get home from an 'arduous' business trip.
"What do you mean?" I replied.
"Oh come on, I'll bet you have been to some!" she laughingly replied.
"Well, a couple, but only for a few minutes." I clumsily replied.
"Well, what happens, are they strip joints?"
I could see she was not going to let this go so I explained that they were not strip bars, they were places where girls dance exotically, but not naked (strange though it may sound nakedness is not allowed in 'public' bars in Thailand). I clarified that they were places where (mainly) guys went to have a drink, be entertained and essentially get turned on by scantily clad Asian lovelies. Trysts can be arranged but that is private and away from the business of the evening.
I knew what was coming next – "And have you ever arranged a 'tryst' with an Asian lovely?" she asked, looking me straight in the eye.
Fortunately I was able to say – hand on heart – that I had not. She knows me well and can always tell if I lie, so she smiled and kissed me. I thought that would be the end of it but then the bombshell came.
"Can we go to one tonight?"
"You want to go to a Bangkok Girlie bar?" I asked, needing clarification.
"Yes, and not one of those tourist ones, one of the real ones, I want to see the real Bangkok."
"Okay, you're on!" .... My heart leapt at the thought, and planning the evening had suddenly taken on a new excitement.
I booked a table at a rooftop bar in central Bangkok. The restaurant and bar were situated about 26 stories up, above one of the plush hotels. The views are magnificent and the ambience intoxicating.
As we got ready she asked what she should wear. I suggested a loose silk top I had always thought very sexy, with no bra of course. She also opted for a blackleather skirt that always turned me on. Short, but not too revealing – as long as too much bending wasn't involved!
I shyly suggested that she wear no knickers and to my surprise she readily agreed. I was foaming at the mouth already!
We arrived at the restaurant and had a drink before the meal. Sitting on the bar stool I could see that this was going to be a good night. She sat casually, legs crossed but skirt pulled high. The gentle breeze was erotic and warming, and her breasts were clearly outlined under the silk top.
The meal was fabulous, although in truth I didn't really concentrate on it too much. I was thinking constantly of our trip to the girlie bar, and what she would make of it all.
She was teasing and flirty all through the meal, clearly excited by my constantly looking at her beautiful body.
I mentioned how refreshing the wind was on this hot steamy night. She agreed, adding
"Particularly because I have no knickers on, that makes the breeze between my legs very erotic."
I realised then that she was sitting with her legs apart – not gaping but enough for other diners to see, and some were looking, both men and women. My turn on quotient went sky high!
I made a point of making sure we didn't drink too much. A good decision as we both felt
Ready for more as we left the restaurant and hailed a taxi. As I told him where to go she glanced knowingly towards me. It certainly wasn't an area she had heard of and her smile told me that was exactly what she wanted.
When we arrived the whole area was thronging. People were everywhere as we made our way down the street, passing a number of bars along the way.
There were street bars, food stalls, trinket stalls, and of course bars behind closed doors with girls outside encouraging single guys to come in and "look see."
Most didn't try too hard to entice us in though; they knew it was probably a lost cause as we were a couple. As we approached the bar I had in mind, the girls called to us, and when they saw I was heading their way their enthusiasm trebled! On realising that we were both going in they welcomed us like long lost friends.
