I've not been to Polar Cafe for many years, used to like their curry puff though. I think the last time I went to Polar Cafe was like 3 years ago inside the Changi Airport when I was waiting for my ride.

Most of you may have been to Pattaya and the world famous Walking Street of Pattaya, filled with bars, booze and girls (well many half girls too) and partying all night long. Morning on this stretch of the road is a little different and I wish to share it with you how it is at 7am, a video I took this morning.

This is morning life on the Street, still some partying going on at some corner, hope you enjoy.

So as all of you could see above I was at a foot massage place in Pattaya. These two masseuse was very jokers and instead of doing a 1hr massage I extended another hour. We talked and laughed until I cannot tahan.

Was told the owner is a french old man and one thing he told his staff is done allow Indians to come in. I asked these 2 jokers and they said seriously that many instances these Indians very chow-ka for example:-

a. two indians can come into shop and pay for one hour of massage for one person but they request half an hour each

b. ten indians can come into the shop only two indians pay for massage while the other eight sit everywhere and even lie down on the mattresses for Thai massage occupying the whole place and talking loudly

c. while doing an hour of massage after around 40-45 mins stopped and go to toilet and never return

d. after doing 30mins of massage ask masseuse why she still have not taken her clothes off

e. steal from the shop

f. accused masseuse she stole from him, one even refused to go and called police accusing masseuse for stealing US$8,000

g. Ask lady to give body massage

h. Want to pay masseuese 20 baht (80 cents) for a bonk

i. (shop charge 150 baht for 1 hr) they wanted to pay shop 50 baht for 20mins of massage

j. boast to masseuse that they are from England, American etc etc masseuse curious and said she's never met an American or Brit who talks with head swinging left right left

k. Indian come to Pattaya for 1 week holiday and use only 1 boxer stinking the whole shop

And of course ladies hate them because they generally smell like hell.

It was a damn funny session with these two masseuses, hilarious!

shit skins will always be shit skins,
