Spasso Girl

The girls at Spasso Bar in the basement of the five star Hyatt Erawan Hotel are like cruise missiles.  Once they’ve locked onto their targets, the man has very little chance.  Unless he’s a cheapskate.  Then the missile veers away, the radar having read available cash and net worth with the speed of a supercomputer, and the poor man is saved from the night of his life and the woman of his dreams.

Tony at Spasso

Spasso’s at the Erawan, one of Bangkok’s top hotels.  The cheapest room’s 200 dollars a night, a month’s salary for the average Thai. For Tony, it’s not worth thinking about, he makes a million dollars a year plus stock options. He always stays at there. He likes the location and at the end of a long day of tough negotiations, Spasso is only a step away.  It’s stylish and deluxe, Tony’s kind of place.  A lot of the guys are hi-income types, from all over the world. The band rocks and the Thai girls look like fashion models.  Smiling, friendly, slim and sexy. They cost less than the room.
