Koh Samui - Island of plebs

"rancid cockney birds and their docile pasty boyfriends"

I commented on similar some years ago. The number of boy/ girlfriend bagpackers where the female was definitely the boss surprised me. I thought that society might have reached a point where male/ females were operating as equals, but it seems that male dominance has been merely superseded by female dominance.

Hahahaha

Calls to mind a scene I observed on that first very steep hill as you head along the road from Ban Kai to Hat Rin.

Docile pasty boyfriend driving automatic scooter with his huge "rancid cockney bird" seated behind him. She must have weighed twice as much as he did. They lost a lot of speed on that steep left curve, and along the long uphill straight he was really struggling to keep the bike on the road due to the immense weight on the back. Handlebars all over the place, front wheel almost up in the air, and the big girl on the back screaming like a banshee.

Needless to say - the inevitable happened, the 125cc engine didn't have the power to get them to the top of the hill, and they nosedived into that concrete ditch alongside the road there. No doubt quite a few thousand baht worth of damages to the bike, scratches and bruises for the couple. I think she was ready to kill him. Funny to watch.

Have only been to Samui once. for a week. In that short time I saw 3 scooter accidents, none fatal thank God. 2 were amusing: one tourist broadsided a vegetable cart, salad everywhere. I would have laughed out loud, if the poor fellow haden't been lying there moaning ,on a bed of crisp lettuce, sprinkled with an assortment of seasonal greens.
The other: Docile pasty boyfriend and rancid canadian bird, both heavyweights on a small, barely visible, scooter hit the brakes. The scoot facing the task of halting that momentum wisely choose to bail out. Introducing our easy ( diet) riders to the pavement. They were not injured but shook up. As I was walking away I heard her complain to bystanders that " they were cut-off"
Cut-off in Asia? there is no such thing.

Thats one of the reasons i like Pattaya ,very few pasty faced Cockney or Western birds about .
Samui is still good outside of Cheweng .I like Lamai in paticular .

Agreed on Pattaya.
Much better without unattractive western women spoiling the view of a neverending stream of cute Thai tottie.

Nice post arch.............my sentiments exactly.

Some very attractive Russian ones though.

Chan, you're right! I had forgotten about them.
Yes, and they dress to please too. London wimmin could take some lessons from them.

I'm wondering why those guys took their girlfriends with them! Extra weight for the scooter?

Taking a woman to Thailand is twice the cost but half the fun, isn't it? :-)
