I went to Phuket(Patong Beach) the year there was the big tidal wave, and saw one or two gay couples that caught everybody's eyes.. The slim ones(they looked Thai/perhaps tanned taiwanese) wore..amale g-string with big golden chain necklace. There were about five or six Thai girls wearing bikinis on the beach(including me). Most of them came with their farang husbands. I made friend with one girl who married a german guy. She was very nice and friendly. So, we spent for a long long time in the water chatting (until her hubby came and took her away from me lol).

I learned one important thing from the trip about Thai men on the beach. One Thai guy kept asking me if i was japanese. (I didn't know he was talking to me because i didn't look japanese--tanned with natural curly hair) There were not many Thai girls wearing bikinis so they assumed we were filipinas, malaysian, or vietnamese. Thai guys tried to be nice and friendly to me until i started speaking Thai to them. One guy approached me and even, by force, tried to pull me to his boat saying he'd take me around the island. I looked around thinking about asking for help. Guessed he smelled that so he freed me. One guy started a conversation with me thinking i was a foreigner while i was in the water (I couldn't swim so i just held onto a big rope used to limit the swimming area). The way he talked changed when i started speaking Thai to him. He called his friends and by then i was surrounded by a few Thai men. I knew what was going to happen so i took as deepest breath as i could and plunged under the water starting diving (i knew how to dive even though i couldn't swim lol) to the beach as fast as i could. I was hoping my feet would feel the sand on the beach when i had no oxygen left. I failed and thought i was drawning. Then in a few seconds, my toe squeezed on the sand...

I learned so much from the trip, even from other Thai women too as said in the äÁèÁÕÍÐäÃÁÒ¡ á¤èÍÂÒ¡ÃкÒ thread.

I still think about going there. Thailand's beaches are so irresistable even to Thais. If i happen to go there again, i'll go with bikini top or that under spaghetti tops and boyshorts or shorts. No more bikinis.
