There are some things that can seem unusual about the experience of taking a bar girl home in Bangkok. One of the unusual things is that girls — even go go dancers who’ve spent the entire night dancing naked on-stage — typically come out of the bathroom dressed in a towel. Many of them are so shy that they won’t take off the towel until the lights are off.
But one of the most offputting things to me the first time I saw it happen is when a bar girl comes out of the toilet wrapped in her towel, climbs onto the bed, and in good Buddhist fashion, prostrates herself three times.
A couple of girls have even brought small garlands of flowers to my room and put them on the headboard of the bed before heading for the shower.
I thought you might find this an interesting thing to see if you’re not a Thailand regular, so I’ve got a short (26 second) video that shows a girl coming out of the toilet wrapped in her towel, prostrating for Lord Buddha, then laying down for me. Sorry — the video stops before the towel comes off.

I’m Catholic so my definition of prostrate is laying completely flat on the floor in complete submission. Your video is a girl on her knees bowing three times.
Anyway, yes, a truely unique Thailand experience.

Sorry, I have to ask. Do you have a hidden camera that secretly records all your bed hijinks?
If so, that’s going to rate somehwere on the creepy scale. I’m not sure where, but somewhere.

Sooooo, Please forgive my ignorance of Buddhism, but why?

I dont buy into religion. Its all old shite IMCO (In my CORRECT opinion)
My ex Gf used to try and get me to ‘wai’ the mini shrine/temple outside our apartment. I think buddhist is a con on the scale of christmas so they keep forking out for those flowers and stuff

c’mon admit it? This post was inspired, at least in part, by my comment on my favourite bargirl experience. The reference to the white towel and saying her prayers, as sterotypical as it is, surely can’t be coincidence.
Assuage my attention-starved ego on this one, pls.

gavinmac: no, not at all. I think hidden cameras are pretty creepy too. I talked to the girl about it and she said it was cool. It was the first time I ever taped a session and certainly the last. The real thing is nothing like porn movies. A static camera shot just shows long periods of not much of anything interesting (kissing for 5 minutes, sucking her boobies for 5 minutes). I never realized how boring real sex is if your not actively participating until I watched the re-run.
swampthing: don’t want to burst your bubble, but I have no idea what you’re talking about.

So did you make a whole porno tape of the activities set to Beatles’ music, or was that just for the youtube clip?
I would have gone with “Come Together.” That’s just me.

Indeed I made a whole clip and showed it to the girl. She got a kick out of it. I used three Beatles tunes, and “Come Together” was the last of the three. Unedited, the recording ran about 40 minutes, I spliced together about 14 minutes and threw some music in the background.
I actually had music on during the live act, and expected the mike to pick it up, but it didn’t. The action lacks a lot more as a silent movie than it does set to music, and it only takes a few minutes to do the edit.
But, as I said, that’s the beginning and the end of my career as a private porn producer/director/actor.
Hope you enjoyed the 26 second clip.

She sure blitzed her way through “the triple obeisance” at speed. This is supposed to be an moment of quiet contemplation, a beautiful repose of the soul and an enlightening rejection of the flesh. She looked more focused on the upcoming mouthful of cock.
I know of a girl who was taking her prayers far more seriously. Her barbarian sneaked up next to her and poked his knob in her ear!

I’ve seen the girls go through at a variety of speeds. This is fairly typical, but I’ve got one girl who has been hitting my place for about three years now who usually brings a garland of flowers and puts it on my headboard, and spends two or three minutes doing her thing.
I always have to toss the flowers the moment she’s out the door or risk other girls asking me where they come from and why they’re on my bed.
If I know she’s coming back the next day of course, I keep them.
Life is so complicated in Bangkok!

I liked the video. The other thing I find amusing is the practice of bringing good luck to a bar and the girls in it before they start the evening shift. A girl wanders around bashing various parts of the bar (usually the bits that make a lot of noise) and touching the girls’ foreheads with a large wooden penis.
