Isan Girl Being Consumed by the Bangkok Night

Isan Girl Being Consumed by the Bangkok Night

When she first arrived in Bangkok from her farming village in Isan, she was full of hopes and dreams.......to make money for her 2 young children, her mother and father, help her brother buy a PU truck, to learn the ways of the Big City and the World, despite her 8th grade education.......her smile was magical, she was an astonishingly beautiful female, engaging, sexy, magnetic, no matter what she wore or didn't wear....over time the Bangkok Night gradually ground her down....and down and down....too many men, too many ladydrinks, too many hotel rooms, promises, broken hearts, human misery and desire on full display night after night after night...after almost 6 years working, she was finally consumed by the fire and heat until one day she was gone.....

Isan Girl on Walking Street Pattaya 2AM Saturday Night

Isan Girl on Walking Street Pattaya

It's 2am Saturday night on Walking Street in Pattaya....a young Isan girl from Roi Et is looking for a customer, watching, surrounded by an infinity of desire, illusion, craving, suffering, intoxication and sensual indulgence....thousands of blinking lights, an over-whelming neon intensity, tens of thousands of ladyboys, rentboys and females for sale...alcohol, crystal meth, viagra, cialis, levitra.....the pounding mix of multiple soundtracks, disfigured dwarfs dancing for cash......

Baccara Bar Soi Cowboy Superstar

Baccara Bar Superstar - Chris Coles

She's a Superstar at Baccara Bar on Soi Cowboy, the Number One Bar in the history of Bangkok Expat nightlife......earning 100,000+ Baht per month, ten to twenty times Thailand's average monthly wage......a divorced mother of a 4 year old son living with her own mother and sister back in Chaiyaphum one of the poorest parts of Isan, the most impoverished part of Thailand.......where the average farm worker puts in 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, 30 days a month and is paid 150 Baht per day.....

Having finished school at age 13, at the end of her 6th grade, with no Alimony or Child Support, with her father dead and her elderly mother completely dependent on her financially, what else is this Superstar Isan female to do.....tall, statuesque, stunning, a dazzling smile that can light up the world with a personality to match.......and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of men....

Mona Lisa Patpong

Patpong Mona Lisa - Chris Coles

......some say that Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa was a transvestite hooker from the streets near his studio, the mysterious smile reflecting both her own and Leonardo's sexual ambiguity......

......in a world of reincarnation, could it be possible Mona Lisa's alive and well in the Bangkok district called Patpong, perhaps as a wired Thai Ladyboy or as a beautiful and tender Isan bargirl named Wan Jai.....

.......who can say for sure..........................

Midnite Bar Soi Cowboy

Midnite Bar Soi Cowboy - Chris Coles

.....one of the oldest bars on Soi Cowboy, Midnite is friendly and funky with a raunchy overlay. The beers cost two dollars and the girls, mostly Lao from the part of Thailand called Isan, are easy-going, always looking for an excuse to be outrageous and have some fun. The guys, mostly Expats, some Japanese, think they're back in college, hanging out at a roadhouse bar for sex and rock 'n roll, the problems of their adult lives forgotten...........
