205 - no honey no money
Be a man! said Larson. – Don’t accept this nonsense. Demand an apology and your money back!
Duff had returned to the boybar soi with Number Five in tow. He met Larson and Peter who sat at an outdoor restaurant watching cute boys go by. When Duff explained his predicament Larson offered his advice.
- Go right back to the bar and tell them this kind of trickery is unacceptable!
- I am not sure, said Duff. – I didn’t know Thai bars gave refunds. It is no use.
- Duff is right, said Peter. – It is a waste of time.
- Someone must stand up to injustice, said Larson. – They cheat you and you say nothing?
- I don’t like to make scenes, said Duff. – I might as well write it off as an experience.
- One thousand baht, said Number Five.
- Eh? said Duff.
- You pay money me one thousand baht.
- You can forget about that. No honey no money!
- But I no money eat.
- Get lost!
- That’s the spirit, said Larson.
- You speak mamasan, said the Thai boy.
- I don’t want to speak to your mamasan, said Duff.
- But you must give money me.
- For what? For your lies? First you trick me and put me in danger, and then you want money for it?
Number Five went to his bar and fetched his ladyboy mamasan. When she came to the table where the farangs sat she said:
- Solly solly. I forget him not 18.
- So you will give me my money back?
This question took the mamasan by surprise. But she recovered and said:
- Can not.
- Why?
- You take off boy.
- I would not take him off if I knew he was underage.
- But you take off him.
- That’s not the point!
- Can not pay money you. Boss say can not. But no ploblem. You take boy go room short time hotel. Only 200 baht.
- A short time hotel? No way.
- Only 200 baht.
- And then I have the police burst in and arrest me? No thanks.
- No ploblem police. I guarantee.
- Just like you guaranteed Number Five was 18?
- I hel you. You good heart. You pay 200 baht. Have room short time. Make happy.
Duff turned his back at the mamasan and Number Five and refused to speak to them.
- The nerve they have, said Larson.
Peter had gone over to some other farangs to chat to them. When he came back he looked excited.
- I just heard news about Bia, said Peter.
- They know Bia by name? asked Duff.
- No. But they know Dietmar.
