Hi,

 

I met this TG when I was in Pattaya in early September and I booked her for 5 nights straight. The reason I did this was as I was on business I did not have the time to check out all the bars. Turned out she was very nice. Well, I was up there again and I was with this same girl the enitire week I was there. The night before I left she gave me a dozen stalks of white roses and insisted I took them home with me. Guys, is this common in Thailand? And what is the significance? Thanks in advance.

she wants you and your money on your next visit.

 

Are you not being an optimist thinking she's going to wait that long? I'm sure the e-mails or tests will be on the go before then. 2guns

Ever sent your good clients a Christmas card or a little gift on their birthday or anniversary? Same thing. She is ensuring "customer loyalty."

Okay I see your point, but I've never had to bend over and take one up the ass just to ensure "customer loyalty."

She got them off some other guy and because she did not pay for them and cannot eat them she gave them to you. :drunk :clap2

Funny you mention that because I ate one when I was tanked in Lamai last June. The girls though it was great and the next night they gave me another and said "you eat now." I had no idea what they were talking about until they explained it to me that I had eaten one the previous night. Even though I was sober I ate the second one as well. :bigsmile:

If Mat23 or anyone is still wondering what those roses meant, I can clarify it for you ...

 

Mat23 - By giving you white roses (assuming she deliberately chose white, when other colours were also available), she was saying to you (honestly or otherwise) "my feelings for you are pure (100%)". The feeling usually associated with Roses is love.

 

Carraig and his ex-girlfriend are right when they say white flowers *can* mean death. Chinese and Thai-Chinese people associate the colour white with death (many white things, not only white flowers). However, because it is estimated only about 10% of Thai people have Chinese background, giving white flowers is usually safe*, when you want to tell someone your feelings for them are pure - and very safe at funerals, even for Chinese!

 

It is also useful to remember that, because most Thai people are Buddhists, many believe the day of the week they were born influences their personality and life. Each day has a Colour, a Lucky Colour and an Unlucky Colour. Many will wear clothes and like to receive things in their birthday colour and/or lucky colour associated with the day they were born - they believe it will bring them good luck. This partly explains why many Thai people wear yellow on Mondays. Monday was the day HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej (the present King of Thailand) was born, and yellow is one of the birthday colours for people born on that day.

 

NOTE: Cream is also considered the birthday colour for Thai people born on Mondays. White is the lucky colour for people born on Wednesday night.

* However, for people born on Tuesday, white is an unlucky colour.

 

What colour was your wife or girlfriend born on? Knowing that will enable you to score some 'brownie points' and avoid 'faux pas' next time you buy something for her ....

 

Worth also noting that most Thais believe the number 6 is unlucky, and the number 9 is very lucky. So buy things in 9's, not 6's!

 

More information on this, and lots more advice, can be found on the Isan Flowers Advice page

 

Cheers

 

Simon

I thought that was black roses.
For Thais white is regarded as a funereal colour. I often wondered why white roof tiles weren't more common!
