Just to share my experience of a real Thai good girl.

It was at least 20 years ago. (yes yes yes, I am old liao) It was a time long before the likes of Mr. Peter Altman introduced his style of running his business to Bangkok.

I got to know a Thai girl on ICQ, and yes that was the LINE app of those days. Soon after, we were writing regular mails to each other and the occasional phone calls. I was the one who was calling her about once or twice every week, as she was a university student and didn't have the financial means to make international calls to me at that time. Remember those were the days where there weren't any cheap international phone calls like now.

Anyway, I remembered in one of the letters I wrote her, I told her I was down with a cold, a week later I received her mail. It was different from her past mails as it didn't fit into the mailbox and I had to collect it from the post office. It was a package, inside it was her letter to me, and a good 3 to 4 packets of cold medication. My immediate thought was she was sweet, caring and thoughtful, although she knew that I would have recovered by the time her mail reached me.

We continued to communicate for more than a year before I finally met her. Although I did occasionally go to Bangkok during that first year of knowing her, I resisted meeting her because I had my reservations about Thai girls at that time due to the stories I have heard about them. I will not go to details but it was a wild and passionate time we had when we met, probably because of all the pent-up emotions in the both of us after such a long time.

We did continue to see each other for some time after that first meeting, but unfortunately we parted ways after the distance and time that kept us apart drained us both of our initial passion. She is now happily married, have a good family and incredibly we remained good friends and still meet occasionally till this day.

Those were the days.
