You should think that going to see the ladyboy comedy at 8pm Saturday was easy. What could possibly go wrong and what confusion could possibly arise from this simple thing?
Friday the woman from the dentist called and said Chalerm had an appointment 11.45 on Saturday. This was his monthly adjustment of his braces. When I told Chalerm about this he hesitated and explained that time was short because the movie was at 1pm. But he could go directly from the dentist to the movie with the Queen of Si Saket.
This was news to me. Suddenly it wasn’t 8pm but 1pm, and it wasn’t with the Prince of Khon Kaen anymore but with Lek the Queen.
I protested.
- But Lek must to go to work hotel 5pm, said Chalerm.
- You didn’t tell me about any change of plans.
- I want go see movie with gay friend because funny.
- You were going to see the movie with me.
- But 8pm Lek working hotel. And when I say movie start 8 I not mean 8pm. I mean movie start 8 March.
Saturday at noon Chalerm was still in bed, sleeping. I asked him what had happened to his dentist appointment. He pulled the bed sheets over his head and slept on. Both Lek and Prince came but there was no sign of any of them going to the movies at 1pm. Neither did the Queen of Si Saket (who was wearing a fishnet t-shirt a la DJ Station) go to the hotel at 5pm.
What is the new plan? Is there any plan? In Thailand things happen when they happen, if they happen at all.

As you well know, time means absolutely nothing, not only to one as (presumably) young as your protege, but also to most people in the country. Not even the usual incentive of money makes the slightest difference. I suppose it’s quite charming and quaint, but not when you want something done.

As you missed the movie I’ll tell you all about it.
1) Katoeys own apartment
2) Katoeys scared by fat ghost
3) Katoeys scream a lot
4) Katoeys scared by thin ghost
5) Katoeys scream a lot.

Ahhwa, you spoiled it for me, I was goin’ to see it tonight.
That is, I think I am going, BF was due home at 3, he called at 4 to tell me he is late. Now it’s almost 7 and he will probably be calling again a 8 to tell me he is still late.
Spooky, we might have the same BF’s?

On the subject of spooky…….
I really thought that I had the most difficult and unreliable boyfriend there was. It would appear there is considerable competition.
“Visit my friend - Back in one hour ” regularly ends up in an all night card playing marathon.
He is still sulking after having it suggested to him he may entertain doing something while I am at work. (Something other than talking on the phone , playing cards or sleeping)
The money must soon run out - he’ll be back……
Alternatively he may not….. I may need a trip to Thailand to get over it ?!??

UKRQ: Your boyfriend is not the most unreliable and difficult Thai boy there is. How often does he throw the TV out the window? Does he break up with you more than once a week? Does he take gentlemen home when he thinks you are out?
If none of this is going on your bf is not even in the top 50% of difficult boyfriends.

Now, it almost 11pm and I still have not seen this dam movie. BF calls on the hour telling me he is late, not his fault. I know your late and noting is ever your fault, that’s a given.

SF Point taken
He does break up with me often but not always more than once a week
The tv is firmly screwed to the wall
To the best of my knowledge Gentlemen do not frequent the residence in my absence
Not all bad then …….

The Thai sense of time is not unique. Here in Australia we call it Koorie time or Maoris time. When I used to make plans with my Maoris bf I learnt not to rely on them. Funny thing though, since we have broken up he has become much more reliable and punctual. I broke an appoitment with him the other day without explanation and he rang me up to complain. Sheesh!!! I thought, such irony.

Trongpai, if he calls you when he’s late, that’s better than not calling. After all, then you know he’s stuck on the bus rather than stuck under the bus. If he calls you multiple times when he’s late then he really cares how you feel.
Of course you might say he doesn’t care enough about you to be always on time, but who would?
Trust me, the movie will be no less funny when it comes out on DVD.

Not another movie about fat katoeys running around screaming their tits off? How many more of these revolting films does the world need? Forget about it and watch Beautiful Boxer again - at least that’s a film with heart!

Silom Farang, you must be a saint. I was starting to get worried - after the sad demise of Mother Teresa, but now I can relax.
Perhaps you’ll go down on your knees and forgive Chalerm?
