oh... yeah... enjoy... you're counting stars.

and what happens...|they've got their hand in your pockets.

Catch me...

So you know the language then, Joey?

Oh well, you gotta know the essentials.

You know, like Mao-drunk,

Ting Tong-crazy

and Fun Dee-sweet dreams.

You gotta watch the tones, you know.

For example, you can describe|a woman as suaay-beautiful.

But if you pronounce it suay,

it means bad Luck.

I guess you could say some of them|around here are both.

Look at this honey, mate?

Hallo, massage!

Thanks, Sao.

Me no have.

Hairy arms? Glad to hear it.

What do you think?

Yeah, are these all the girls?

Okay. Thank you very much.

This is another planet.

Thought I knew what life was in England...

but this is a whole new reality.

I don't know if I can quite hold it together,

but I'm sure I'm not the first.

Hallo, massage. Hallo, massage.

Em, Em.

Come on in. I'll catch you.

Day 3. Em taught me|how to pay respect to Buddha.

Sorry.

No problem.

You Farang, you on holiday.

Okay, I like you.

But cannot do like this. Hom better.

Hom is a Thai kiss.

A sniff, which I haven't quite|gonna hang on yet.

Thank you for showing me little Buddha.

Tomorrow I show you big Buddha.

Thank you.

(OUT - Thai Lung. Pla-muk-suk-ru-yung? )|Are the squids cooked?

I thought you didn't kiss like that.

It's OK.I watch Hollywood movie.

The kiss was everything. But it wasn't enough.

Darling... you buy me drink?

Sure. What would you like?

What'd you like?

I want cola.

You forget me?

Okay, Two cola.

- And me.|- And me.

Short time 1,000 baht. OK?

Small money for farang.

How much if I want you all night?

Love me, longtime, 2,000 baht.

It's too much.

No. Good price for Farang. OK?

Well, I didn't come 6,000 miles|to play Connect 4!

Bye bye, handsome man.

I know it was the booze|and flirting which took me to Noi's bar.

But at the time it felt like something else,

affecting every action,|every thought and word,

something more intense, more real.

Walking Noi home|I knew that eyes were watching Us.

I was doing something crass...

but I went ahead and did it anyway.

Why am I doing this?

Sorry.

Oh... f***.

I met this girl and|I shouldn't be doing this with you.

Customer often feel confused,

They love his wife, but come to me.

I'm scared that if me and this girl|make love it'll mess things Up.

So wait... in Thailand,

boyfriend and girlfriend|they should wait Until marriage.

Yeah, But I am from England|and we have sex before...

before we even leave school.

Sure. Everyone loves sex.|But you have to ask yourself...

"How do I feel in the morning?"

How do you mean?

How you feel afterwards?

Um... Think about eating junk food.

Taste good|but afterward your stomach... ah...

Same-same sex.

If your heart feel happy it's ok.

If your heart feel bad, it's no good.

Heavy heart or heavy balls.

It's Up to you.

So why do you do this work Noi?

How can I find job|which pay me same money.

I Use my body and I also Use my head.

One day I want to buy my own land.

But how can you make love|with some of these Ugly, old men?

I choose customer. And I choose you...

because you are jai-dee and good heart.

- Can you stay long time.|- No, I have to go.

We make love one time|but you give me two times.

Mai-Pen-Rai. Thank you.

This morning|I desperately needed to see Em.

I know I've f***ed up. But did she know?

Your friends are always joking.

Maybe I'll wait around Until Joey gets back.

You have lady in England?

No. Finished.

- You have lady in Thailand?|- No.

Are you butterfly man?

What is a butterfly man?

Someone who go from lady|to lady to lady.

No, I don't think so.

You meet lady last night?

No, I meet you last night.

After massage, where you go?

I went dancing,

drinking and then walked back|to my bungalow, alone.

No problem.|You're on holiday, Pinnochio.

The moment I lied I could feel the effect.

Tham-nai-na? (Why? )
