When I had gone to Phi Phi the day before, April had scootered along the coast. So on Saturday, April suggested we rent scooters and drive along the coast. We took our rented scooters east of Patong Beach and up into the rolling cliffs. We saw amazing views of the beaches and ocean.
We stopped at a less touristy beach about a thirty minute scooter ride away from Patong. We went snorkeling and laid in the sun a bit. April convinced me to go topless with her because it is a common thing you see in Thailand. Guys should not get excited though, you see mostly older women going topless.
We were hungry, so we went back to Patong, to get some lunch. April wasn't feeling well, so I scootered on the coastline by myself to catch some views of the dramatic sunset along the coastline. I stopped at a couple of the beaches to walk around. I also stopped at a couple stores, and I found a perfect simple red dress to go with my red swim suit.
When I got back to Patong, I ran into April when I was looking at some tour brochures. We decided to eat dinner at the same beach restaurant we ate at the first night. Then we decided to go out because my tour I was going to go on by myself the next day, wasn't going to be leaving until around noon.
We went to the main strip of bars, and we stopped at a lady boy club. We started taking pictures of the lady boys, and to take a picture with a lady boy it cost 100 Baht. We decided to go inside the bar to experience something we couldn't experience back in Taiwan. When we were at the bar, the lady boys were randomly flashing their fake private parts. When I was taking a picture of April with a lady boy, the lady boy pulled down her shirt so you could see a view of her boob job.
While we were at the bar, we met this white guy who just started being a manager at a hotel on one of the islands. He revealed to us that he had slept with a transvestite before, and he had a deep sexual attraction towards lady boys and women. I think April had some kind of attraction towards him, but by him saying that, it ruined her chances of liking him.
He took us to this two floor club called "Seduction." This was the club with all the straight, international men who were not just interested in the Thai women. It was a great place for women like us who had been in Taiwan for six months, a place where white women have a small amount of men to choose from. We danced to mostly hip hop music and had a blast.
When we were walking back to the hotel, we saw a fight going on between a lady boy and a fat, ugly white man. The white man had called the lady boy a "f****** bitch," and the lady boy started yelling at him. The man started hitting the lady boy, and the lady boy started hitting back. April ran over to intervene, and she started yelling at the man. She tried to comfort the lady boy. I watched from the other side of the street, since I grew up in the U.S. and with a lawyer father, and therefore have been conditioned to believe that a fight will result in gun shots.
