I awoke this morning to have a morning walk and get some cigs. Alx had a job interview for an english teaching position that he had been wanting. So I thought to spend the day alone, being that I had not yet made friends with others in the hostil. As I was walking a Thai man named Andy, started talking to me, I learned he was 55 years old. He asked where I was from and then said his brother had a daughter that was going to school in the US and he also wanted to talk to me. Andy asked me if I would mind talking a taxi to meet his brother. I didn't think and said YES, but did not think about the ulteryer motive behind this, because random people never talk to people without a motive. I tried to pay attention to where we were going, I got lost, we traveled down Sukhumvit and turned left, then up a street and turned right, the left and made a right to the destination 11 kilometers away, we arrived at Andys brothers house. They gave me coffee and gained my trust, also had been giving me cigs. Then his brother stated that he did not like gays or saudi's. Asked me what I knew about poker. I told him I knew how to play thinking he meant poker and not blackjack and he gave me some signs. Also at this point I did not know gambling was illegal in Thailand. Mr Malic showed up, a gay saudi. Before that Andy told me I did not need any money and that they just wanted Mr Malik money, so they put 2000 baht in Andys pocket to cover my buy in. Before Mr Malik showed up they assured me to win since Andys brother was the dealer and would be sitting on the same side of Mr Malik and could see his cards and signal to me when t bet and when not to bet. We ran through a few a few hands and then Malik showed up and asked to play poker. They said the buy in was 2000 dollars and e easily pulled that from his bag and placed 2000 dollars on the table. Then he asked for my money and andy pulled out the previous 2000 Baht, Andy assured him that my credit was good, which are not even close to being relatable, money wise. So we played a few hands, I won each and everyone. Mr Malik rebought in with 3-20,000 dollar stacks of 100 dollar bills. The pot was now up 62,060 dollars. We played a few more hands and I continued to win with Andy's brothers signs. The last hand, the dealer, signaled to go all in, I was nervous and wanted to bluff him in to me being questionable. So I went all in. Mr Malik matched my all in and had 4,000 left. He rerose me and wanted something to verify that I had the additional funds to cover his reraise. They ask if I had any more money, a cellphone, anything to cover the 4,000. At that point Mr Malik had an appointment, so we placed each of our cards in to an envelope, sealed them and wrote our names on each envelope, placed the 62,060 dollars in a safe with both envelopes and locked the safe, upon obtaining the 4000 we would meet back there open the safe and the envelopes to determine the winner, Andy's assured me I was going to win with the 21 I had since Mr Malik only had 2 kings, 20. Mr Malik left and we discussed how much money I had in the bank. I told them maybe a 1,000 and Andys brother said he could get the additional 3,000 since we were going to win. My share was to be 30,000 US dollars, Andy was to get the 2,000 dollars and his brother was to get 30,000 as his wife was in the hospital and he needed the money to pay for her operation. So they planned to take me back to COW to get my ATM card and with draw the 1000. When arriving at COW Ady and his sister accompanied me to where they waited for me to run accross the street to COW for my ATM card. I waited at the hostil for about 5 minutes and went back to meet Andy and his sister. I told them I had contacted the bank and that there was no one at the bank that could approve me taking out all my money unit Monday. So we exchanged my email for Andys cell number, to arrange them to pick me up once I had the cash. I was now nervous because they knew where I stayed, Mr Malik was a very rich guy and I assume he had a body guard with him that waited downstairs if he was carrying that much money with him to a foreign country to buy GOLD. This all happened before 11am, the rest of the day was spent being nervous, chating with Alx and talking with the conversation groups (JLO and the boys and Mi and Ami). Me and Ami are two 25 year old adults that worked at the airport, they were more interested in the English classes since they were paying for them and so they always came with questions and points that they wanted to discuss, I always tried my best to understand their questions and help them to understand my answers, I enjoyed those two the most, they also brought me maps of the sites in Bangkok and chocolate covered wafers which JLO and the boys stole, one they gave them back I took one and let them have the rest. Once that was over me and Alx walked to Nana plaza and through the Night market which has anything and everything to buy suvineer wise and boot legged movies, any porns and lots of dildos. Alx got another BJ and I sat and talked to the Pimp of the business Mama San. We then went to Soi Cowboy had some drinks at the bar, seen a strip show and visited The Doll House a strip club own by a friend of a friend. The manager was not working and the crew did not seem to know who he was. Never did get to talk to him and get the hook up that I was told to go get. So we went back to the hostil, Alx was piss drunk literaly and I stayed up and drank another with two hostil mates Jana and Henrick.
