The motorcade drives up to Bangkok Girl's gangway as the sun begins to set. She looks magnificent from down on the quay and everyone is very happy to see her after the long journey. Sansa and Emily hold hands as the memories flood back. They see the Captain coming down the gangway to welcome them as the doors are opened for them by Nilesh and Ranjit who help them out of their car. The Captain smiles as he welcomes them back home to Bangkok Girl. They thank him and say how pleased they are to be back. He says a buffet awaits them in the dining room and he will meet them there when he has also welcomed Amy and Sushila.
They make their way up the gangway and go inside, where they are welcomed by beautiful side by side large portraits of the owners Emily and Sansa surrounded by smaller photographs of the Captain and his officers. The photographs of Emily & Sansa were taken by the second officer, a keen photographer, while returning from the test cruise after the decision to buy Bangkok Girl. The PSOs follow close behind the ladies. In the meantime, the assistant PSOs start moving all the luggage to the appropriate cabins.
As the ladies take refreshments they talk about having some extra cocktail maxi dresses made and delivered before Bangkok Girl puts to sea on Friday, Sudesh posts an assistant PSO on guard at the foot and at the top of the gangway then with Ranjit they conduct a security inspection of the vessel. Sansa knows just the tailor who does quality work and everyone agrees she should call him. She makes the call and reports that he and his assistant will immediately come to them with fabric samples.
Meanwhile the remaining assistant PSOs transfer all the luggage safely to the appropriate suite. Nilesh waits for Emily's luggage to arrive in her owner's cabin after checking security. When the luggage arrives he unpacks for her and ensures plentiful supplies, including condoms and lubricating jelly, are in the bedside lockers. Emily is delighted to find her luggage has been unpacked and the contents stored away for the cruise. However it is times like this, and when taking bookings, that she feels the need for a female personal assistant and thinks that Achara would be an ideal choice.
True to his word, the tailor and his assistant arrive by tuk-tuk laden down with fabric samples. Nilesh advises the ladies when he is arriving and they assemble in the lounge. Sansa greets the tailor and introduces the ladies, saying that her family have used his tailoring & dressmaking service for many years. The ladies look through his catalogue of cocktail maxi dresses and focus on a variety of sleeveless strappy maxi dresses, some featuring an eye catching V neckline. They also focus on some styles featuring a slit up the front of one leg to just above the knee. They happily agree to dress the part and go for a classy look.
Scanning through the silk fabric samples they each choose a number of styles in variety of fabrics and colours they like. Emily chooses her favourite colours, royal blue and scarlet but adds some black floral designs as well. Sansa does the same and chooses emerald green and burgundy. Working through the names he has noted, he asks for their confirmation that he has accurately recorded their requirements. The ladies are impressed with his attention to detail and confirm their orders. One by one he takes an impressive number of measurements and records them. By the end of the process, each of the ladies has ordered getting on for 30 silk dresses each. The tailor quotes an unbelievably low cost for each lady (about the cost of one maxi silk dress in a high street shop) and says he will deliver the finished dresses in 24 hours, if that is acceptable. The ladies smile and look forward to seeing him the next day. The tailor and his assistant are accompanied off the vessel to the waiting tuk-tuk.
Emily showers and puts on a fresh sari outfit then goes to the lounge. Seeing Sansa she joins her, they embrace and kiss each other then as they sit, a bar waiter attends them. They both order a gin and tonic and say how wonderful it feels to be back on Bangkok Girl. They are only just over a day away from starting to earn the fortune they have already collected. They reminisce about their past together on board and Emily reminds her of the brothel uniform they used to wear. They struggle to suppress their arousal, they both loved wearing the skimpy uniform. Nilesh and Sudesh come to report they have conducted a security scan of the vessel and found no issues. Emily invites them both to sit and have a drink with them, but they look hesitant. Emily says it's fine since there are no guests on board yet and waves for the waiter telling them to order whatever they like. They relax and sit with their ladies and give their drink orders. They relax chatting together over drinks until it is time for dinner.
After dinner Emily & Sansa go down to the brothel and Achara sees them straight away and makes a beeline to give them a big welcome hug. They sit together smiling at each other. Emily asks how she has been and she replies that she loves her new life, probably much more than she thinks decent. Emily confesses that she felt the same, Sansa agrees and they smile happily embracing that they are all career prostitutes just because they enjoy their work. Achara says her new career means she is able to help her family financially. She also says how happy she is to see Emily & Sansa, having thought about them often.
