Pattaya girls love to play Connect Four

If you’re planning to visit any beer bars in Pattaya then you’d better learn how to play Connect Four. All of the Pattaya bar girls know how to play and they love playing it. Some of the Pattaya bar girls have become quite skilled at the game and you may find yourself playing for lady drinks, in which case you’ll probably lose.  But, it’s great fun, nevertheless.

I’ve never been in a beer bar in Pattaya that didn’t have one of these games on hand. It’s a good ice-breaker if you don’t speak any Thai and your bar girl doesn’t speak any English. It allows you to communicate with each other in spite of the language barrier. That’s probably why, long ago, the first mamasan introduced Connect Four to the first beer bar and punters have been merrily playing along ever since.

You can have a lot of fun playing this game. You smile. You laugh. You have a good old time with a beautiful Pattaya girl and you don’t have to worry about the language at all.

So, how do you play this game? The rules are actually quite simple. Connect Four is kind of a weird cross between tic-tac-toe and checkers.  The game is played on a vertical board that has seven squares across and is six squares high. The board is kind of like a cage. It has seven slots across the top where you drop in your “men”. The men fall to the bottom of the cage where they pile up on top of each other.

Each player starts out with 21 men. One player takes the red men and the other takes the black men. You can decide who goes first, it doesn’t matter, but I have noticed that on successive games the Pattaya bar girls usually insist that the winner of the previous game go first.

You take turns dropping your men into the cage. The first person to get four men in a row wins, simple as that. You can have four in a row vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, it doesn’t matter.

You can play for fun. You can play for drinks. You can even play for sexual favors if you want. There are also different variations of the game. You can invent your own variations as well. As they say in Pattaya, “Up to you.”

The first time I played in a beer bar in Pattaya, this pretty little bar girl explained the rules to me as best she could in her limited English. I repeated her instructions. “The first to get four in a row wins.” So, when the game started, I quickly picked up as many pieces as I could hold in my hands and I began to shove them all into the slots as fast as I could. My bar girl friend looked shocked, but she quickly began to laugh and to do the same with her men.

We wound up knocking over the board with our enthusiasm and we had a good laugh. Like I said before, this game is great ice-breaker.

One long time resident of Pattaya, Peter D, swears that it can be an erotic game as well. Apparently, he was introduced to this version by an absolutely drop dead gorgeous Pattaya bar girl who added an interesting twist to the game. She likes to play the game without looking at the board. You’re only allowed to look into her eyes as you play. With each move she gives you a sensuous look.

According to Peter, the experience is incredible. She’s quite hypnotic and her eyes are like a crystal ball when you gaze into them. He refuses to tell me this girl’s name or which beer bar she works at.  He’s keeping her to himself. One of these nights I’m going to have to follow him.
