A couple of weeks ago at my hidden jungle waterfall, a couple came along and surprised me as I was swimming in the nude to escape the heat. They saw I was naked and did the honorable thing by standing back to let me grab my cycling shorts and put them on. Then they came down to where I was and pulled out an impressive looking picnic. They were probably in their mid 30's (but it's hard to tell with Thai's, as they all look so young -some people have all the luck!) and didn't seem like they were husband and wife by the playfulness they showed toward each other. They pulled out a plastic bag with some clear-looking liquid in, then poured some out into a cup. They offered the cup to me, but I politely declined, motioning to my water bottle. I guessed that the liquid was probably some type of local moonshine, and noticed them getting slowly merrier as they drank and ate.
After a about half an hour or so, they both entered the water in typical Thai style: wearing all their clothes! Most Thai's are actually very shy, unlike popular media would lead the world to believe. However, they seemed to be in a very happy state and obviously lost some of their shyness: they began a heavy petting and groping session right in front of me! Remember, I was sitting there in just a pair of lycra cycling shorts while this show was unfolding… The woman seemed to enjoy the fact that I was sitting uncomfortably with a tent in my shorts, and kept glancing over and giving a sly smile. Twice the man said for me to relax and 'make myself at home' (in Thai that's what it means anyway). I was racking my brain to think what he could have possibly meant: either he meant I could have another swim like I was before they arrived, or not to worry about what they were up to OR the optimistic part of my brain thought it was an invite to join in! As I sat their trying to figure out what the guy meant, they were obviously really getting themselves in a seriously steamed up and horny state -as was I, then made a hasty retreat. I'm sure we can all guess what they were leaving to do… I'm still kicking myself to this moment for thinking too much about what the guy meant, I should have taken what he said at face value, lost my shorts and jumped in again. Who knows what delights might have been in store…!
