OK. What he did, (and I'm probably being a bit of a drama queen!) was to severe dent my pride. When I arrived I was the 1st customer.....I quickly chose a cutie and bought him a drink. The mamasaan there know's my tastes well, gave me a thumbs up. The boy was very responsive and wanted to be offed. I went to the loo in preparation to take him off, and on return noticed a few more farang had come in. Neither of us had finished our drinks, but before I had settled back in my seat he announced "bpai hong nam" and shot off. About 5 minutes later I realised he'd come out of the loo and was standing infront of 2 guys (a larger older farang and 30-something asian) chatting intimately....no prob....no hurry....then he sat with the older guy and was sitting infront of another drink. I waited a couple more minutes...the mamasaan joined the party laughing and joking and avoiding my questioning gaze, so after 5 minutes I waved him over to ask what was going on. "Oh, he has customer!" ...."excuse me!...he already has customer...and half his drink still here and I want to off him! Please send him back." Well he said he couldn't...I lost my cool ( he was a very tasty morsel well above their usual standard) and demanded my bill (one drink only) ......they took 400bt for both drinks and I got a rather loud so every-one could hear "phom mai mii kwam suuk...nee noon" and he then returned with 200bt. In all the years I've come here, I've never had a boy do that to me...I've always understood the protocol always that if a 2nd customer wanted a boy already drinking with client, the mamasaan would at least ask the 1st client if he did intend to off the boy or not. The original client would then either pay or release the boy...but it was this lack of conforming to the unwritten rules that pissed me off so much. Am I over-reacting?
