Another night in Patong

This trip to Patong was a good bit cheaper than the last. First off I decided that as long as most of the people in our group had bought drinks… it wasn’t that important for me to (you just get asked constantly by the waitresses if you want a drink). Also we finally got Malta to go with us, and he brought his very shy Thai g/f (but I think she is getting used to us). She was able to get us great rates on the tuk tuks. So I only ended up spending about 300baht(about $10) for the entire night.

This time I decided that I was going to go all out, wore my performance pants and took my LED hoop with me. We went back to the same Irish Pub that we went to before, the band that sings there is really good. As soon as we got there the waitress and Irish started fighting again… it didn’t take long for Irish to be walking around with a note on his back that said “kiss my ass pls”, which I guess is better than the one last week that said “I’m a lady boy!”. Throughout the night I got a most of the waitresses to hoop J.

We watched the band for awhile and I noticed that the lead singer was looking at us a lot… so during a song where the other singer was doing all the singing she got off stage and walked towards us pointing at my hoop… so I turned it on and handed it to her and she started hooping next to the stage. I was quite shocked when she brought it from her waist to her neck by sticking one arm in (first person I have seen in Thailand that knows how to do more than just waits hoop). She handed the hoop back to me and motioned for me to hoop… so of course I did. The space was kinda limited so I just did a few basic on the body tricks and the one shoulder (except with my arm in it).

So I ended up randomly performing with the band for the rest of the night. For the last two songs the lead singer actually asked me to come up and hoop… it was pretty cool… and ya more videos and pictures of me hooping are going all over the world.

After the band was finished the lead singer(Rachel) asked me to teach her a few tricks… and damn did she learn them fast. I spent about 10 minutes outside teacher her a lift, how to chest hoop, and how to knee hoop. I was trying to teach her to bring it back onto her body from hand hooping about the head… but some damn drunk Scottish guy that we couldn’t figure out a word he was saying kept coming out and getting in the way and then REALLY failing at hooping when he would pick it up.

I told Rachel that I would probably come back out to Patong again before I leave and teach her a few more tricks. So it looks like there will be more adventures in Patong.

We tried to go to a disco like last time… but they wouldn’t let me in with the hoop. We really need to get away from the main strip (not sure if there are any discos away from the main strip… but we will look) The Irish pub is luckily a good ways off of the main strip… so it isn’t one of the places that’s whole purpose is to sell Thai women.

So we ended up calling it an early night and came back around 3am. Though I didn’t get to dance at one of the discos this time… I think this was my favorite trip to Patong so far (hooping makes anything better).

I didn't have my camera with me last night... so hopefully Irish made it back last night and I can get the pictures from him, but here are a few of the band the last time we were there.
