Eye of the Thai-girl (Part One)
Before you read this post, let me just say that this is not one of those Thai-farang relationship sites that rant on about the pros and cons of Thai women. As far as I’m concerned that stuff consumes more than its fair share of this planet’s internet bandwidth already. Men are men, and women are women.
However, there are times when it’s impossible not to pick up on a common trait of the local female population. With this in mind, what follows are some examples of how the sharp-tongued comments, ridiculously astute observation skills and all-seeing eyes of Thai women have kicked yours truly hard in the nuts. Ok, let’s begin…
The zit: You’ve finally managed to get a proper date with that cute girl you’ve been flirting with every day for the last month. Things are looking good. You’ve had your hair cut, you’ve bought a new shirt and you’ve even trimmed those hairs that have started to poke out of your left nostril. The night before the big day you use the face wash that’s been sitting in your bathroom cabinet for over a year and decide to go to bed an hour early so you can get some beauty sleep.
The next morning you wake up with a casual stretch and then suddenly remember the date you’ve got lined up. You rush to the bathroom and splash some water on your face. Coming up for air, you examine your reflection in the mirror and discover that at some point between going to bed and waking up, God has played an evil trick on you.
Yes, your smooth handsome skin is now home to the mother of all zits and it looks like her ugly children are about to come along for the ride.
Despite years of adolescent torment that should have taught you otherwise, you foolishly decide that the only thing to do is to give it a good squeeze. A few minutes and a mile of toilet paper later, all you’ve succeeded in doing is turning your chin into a blotchy red mess.
As you dab frantically at it with a soggy tissue you start to slowly convince yourself that it’s not that bad. In fact from the right angle it’s barely visible. ‘She’ll never notice,’ you tell yourself in the cab as you make your way to meet her.
Out of a crowd of people you see her walking towards you. Damn. She looks gorgeous. Trying to look confident, you smile and wave a bit too eagerly.
‘Hi! How are you?’ you ask.
‘I’m fine,’ she replies, looking you up and down in the blink of an eye. ‘But you’ve got a spot on your face.’

Great read ! I can think of atleast a few times I’ve been in a similar situation as you described. As far as the girl in the picture, that’s quite easy. I don’t want to spoil it for others, but I’ll just say that the first time I saw her was in the movie ‘Fake’.
Cheers!
