(Intensive Care Unit - Bangkok/Pattaya Hospital)
It's 05:00 and we’re awakened by Kevin banging on our bedroom door.
He is really sick now and cannot even keep a mouthful of water down for more than a minute or two. He is becoming severely dehydrated; cannot manage his insulin levels effectively and he knows that his sugar levels are off the scale. He is also rambling, so is obviously in a very bad way.
Nok contacts reception and a doctor is requested from the hospital. Once they arrive and check Kevin out, they decide that he needs to go to hospital immediately, so Nok and myself go down to the hospital in the ambulance with Kevin. Nok is really helpful and supportive during this whole episode and I am extremely grateful for the help she provided.
By 8 am, Kevin is in a bed in ICU with ‘acute kidney failure’. No visitors are allowed at the present time, so I tell Nok to return to the hotel and get some sleep as she needs to work later that night. It’s Chris’s party tonight and she was not allowed the night off. The only concession was that I could BF her once the dancing competition was over.
I stay with Kevin at the hospital whilst he is receiving a saline drip and other meds to sort out the kidney infection. We chat about returning to Pattaya and the things that we’ve seen and done in our first week.
Whilst laid in bed with tubes hooked up and monitors bleeping away, Kevin is slipping in and out of consciousness. He mentions in one of his lucid spells that he wouldn't mind seeing Am again. He was quite pleased that she had been concerned enough about him to come and check up on him the night before.
(The more cynical may believe that it was simply that she wanted to check that he wasn't off butterflying)
Anyhow, I text my Nok (FLB) to let Am know this.
As the saline gets into the system and rehydrates Kevin, he improves markedly. His blood sugar levels fall to manageable levels and his heart & pulse rates stabilize. He is now just about back to normal and tells the nurse that he wants to leave after the second bottle of saline has finished.
She says that the doctor has asked for a third bottle to be administered before re-examination. The nurse eventually agrees to get the doctor to come over and she tells Kevin that she would like him to stay in overnight, however he refuses this and tells her that he is discharging himself as he has a party to go to that evening.
He promises to stay off the booze and she agrees, so we get out of the hospital around 12:30. Lo and behold, as we are in the Cashiers office with Kevin settling the bill for the treatment (48,000 baht I think it was), in walk Am and Nok (Cherry).
We all get a baht bus back to the RG and somehow Chris and Kevin are in groundhog day mode with Am and Nok (Cherry) both back 'in play'.
Nok needs to leave for work at around 4pm, so myself and Kevin both manage to grab a few hours of much needed shuteye before departing for the evening festivities.
So we are in groundhog day mode with Am and Nok (Cherry) sitting at the RG ready to go out for the night.
It's the familiar baht bus ride into town and off to FLB for the Party.
To get the girls in the mood for dancing, Ricky offers an alternative way of getting Tequila into the bodies of the dancers
But some of the girls still have a little decorum at this early stage and opt for a traditional glass.
However for some of us, we take a much more sober start to the proceedings
A few now well known faces are in attendance tonight
But why was Kai taking to the pole? She was with Casper UK and not on duty that night. Maybe she was still keen to win after her success at the last FLB party.
The competition gets underway with a variety of sizes and lookers on view
And whilst this going on Nok starts partying herself on Tequila and Strongbow.
Some of the girls are very determined to win the competition and fueled up on Tequila really go for it.
Talan now takes an interest in Nok (FLB hostess), but hold on he's still with Joy (Cherry) and she is running up a bar tab there. This is an interesting development and it will be interesting to see what he does. Myself and Martin discuss what will happen if she finds out.
The dance competition progresses to the later rounds and the girls are now more determined to win some cash prizes, so the judges are forced into some awkward choices.
Our girls are now all becoming just a tad 'mau'
And my Nok decides top join Alice on the dancepole
As the party wound down, we are left trying to decide what to do next. Our girls are really quite pissed by now, but we all want to know what was happening at Cherry Bar.
During the evening there had been a steady stream of 'Cherry girls' coming into the FLB for 15 minutes or so and then leaving and Talen had been showing serious interest in the hostess Nok when some of the Cherry 'spies' had been in attendance.
They had to be checking up on him for Joy. We had heard that Joy was also pretty mashed having been drinking for about 7 hours on a free bar, so a decision was made. We were gonna rush up to Cherry Bar and be there to witness the murder of Talen by Joy. What good mates we are
A few of us make off through the bar beer complex opposite FLB and get a private hire taxi from Marine plaza. This was the quickest way to get to Cherry and we wanted ringside seats.
When we get there, it's only to find that Joy is too pissed to be a danger, so we just order drinks for ourselves and await the arrival of Talen. When he arrives he goes over to see Joy and she simply gives him a hug and asks why he is so late. Damn! No mention of what he got up to as a judge or what he was obviously planning to get up to with hostess Nok. Piss poor entertainment this had turned out to be.
After a few more rounds of drinks (Nok is on bottles of Strongbow on top of the Tequila and Black Label that she'd consumed at the FLB), we head back to the RG and Am stumbles and falls over. She is obviously pissed and has difficulty getting back up. Chris and Nok(Cherry) go straight off to their room. There is to be no 'party in loom' tonight.
We enter the room and Nok goes straight in to the bedroom and collapses on the bed. I check that she's okay and she just giggles once or twice and shuts her eyes. I leave her where she is and go and get a Coke. Ten minutes later, I return to the room and she hasn't moved, but she seems to be okay. I then go and shower and when I come out, she still hasn't moved. Nothing for it, I need to undress her and get her into bed.
Now should I be a real bastard and take advantage of this situation?
No!
I am too much of a gentleman and couldn't even consider such a thing. I swing her round and get her into bed and covered up and wish her sweet dreams (Fan dee na).
I have survived another very crazy and long day in Pattaya
