Short time Issan style

 

Travelling around the North East last weekend I noticed many complexes with small bungalows inside. The complexes were named as ‘Resorts’ but further information from my boyfriend suggested that these were ‘short time ‘rooms for locals.

There seem to be many around when I looked. Travellers do use these on occasions for the night but the major use is for sex away from the family etc. There’s hot water showers and air-con .

150 Baht per hour and the business is very busy. A good business to have. I found three complexes around the village area outside Khon Kaen and I attach a photo of the new one just finished and full most nights. (for at least and hour)

So I wonder if you can pick a boy up from the paddy field and spend 150 Baht on an hour of lust inside.

These establishments are throughout Khon Kaen and Kalasin areas, I don’t know about other areas.

I do know, at least when it comes to central and northern Thailand. Many smaller cities have such resorts, especially in areas where there are no appreciable hotel facilities. I have stayed in such places a few times, but I was staying as a traveler and not as a short-timer. Some of these places are very nice, spotlessly clean, conveniently located, and are usually quite inexpensive. I remember one, for example, in Chainat that was much nicer than some hotel rooms I've been in. It was in a beautiful setting. It's been a couple years, but if I remember correctly the room had an air conditioner, television, and may have had a hot shower. I'm not sure if I'm remembering that correctly or not, but I do remember the room was about 400 baht per night.

 

It never occurred to me that these places might also be used as short-time rooms, but now that you mention it, that's most likely true.

 

I have been told that many paddy boys and buffalo tenders out in the rural boondocks are perfectly willing to make themselves available for a few hundred baht. I've never attempted it, but several Thai boys have told me that it's true. They don't expect a lot of "farang" to come driving up making offers, but locals often partake. That's what I've been told, anyway.

I just returned from another little trip. I started off at the Malaysia Hotel. We went to Kabin Buri from there. I wouldn't exactly recommend Kabin Buri as a tourist destination. We had some business there. However, we stayed at one of those resorts and it almost made the trip worth it. The room was absolutely spotlessly clean. It was also really beautiful. I wish my own bedroom was as nice. It was a large room, had a brand new television, air conditioning with remote control, lights with a dimmer switch, and large bathroom with hot shower. Included was a refrigerator and two free bottles of water. There was also a water heater and coffee and plenty of electrical outlets in case you need them for anything. I can honestly say that the room was much nicer than most hotel rooms where I've stayed in Thailand, including the Pinnacle and the Malaysia. In the morning they even gave us free, freshly baked croissants. The price: 500 baht per night. You can't beat that!

 

From now on, when I'm traveling within Thailand, I'm going to be seeking out these resorts. The two I've been in so far have been very nice and much less expensive than most hotels.

 

As an aside, we also went to a waterfall and a national park. Both had entrance fees and both had "special prices" for "farang." Thais pay 50 baht. "Farang" pay 400 baht! At both locations, for the first time I tried to see if showing my Thai driver's license would do anything and at both locations it did. I didn't get the Thai price, but I did get price reductions. At one location I was charged 100 baht. At the other I was charged 150 baht. That's still double and triple the Thai price, but it at least is better than the usual "farang" price.
