I slept til 12:15pm
I’m told the check out process takes 1.5 hours. That hardly
seems possible but doubt the words of so many making the same claim.
I’m sure of it now, the fitness center is a whorehouse for
male prostitutes. There are always young men there in the locker room just
hanging around. The locker room has lockers, toilets, urinals and showers. No
comfortable chairs to sit in so why are there young men just hanging out in the
locker room? When I notice them in the gym they are always smiling at me, a
little to gleefully I might ad. They don’t just look at you, they look deep
into your eyes. They look with wanting eyes, they turn and put their backs to
me and stick out their asses. That’s just not normal.
One of the kids I spoke with in the locker room a couple of days ago told me he
was a carpenter from Scotland. He was out of work. Ok. So you are out of work
and you go on vacation. That’s not what people do. People don’t go on vacation
when they’re out of work. This is the incongruity, an out of work twenty two
year old Scottish carpenter is in Bangkok Thailand hanging out in the men’s
locker room of a cheap resort. How many unemployed laborers find the capital to
travel internationally when out of work?
I struck up a conversation with a guest of the hotel today, a
guy in his sixties and he’s fucking his way through Asia. This is the cliché I
don’t want to be and I’m not. He told me this story about this whore he picked
up while in the Philippians. I did not want to hear about it. She was a five dollar hooker. This guy talked about marrying her so she could get an American passport and they could travel the world together.
It seems If it’s broken down, worn out, beat up, lived out its life of
usefulness, you can sell it in Thailand. There is a market for everything here.
