The Girls from Toi’s Place

Toi’s Place is run by a charming 36-year-old bar girl turned "mama-san", the Thai term for a woman who manages bar girls. Ten years ago, she married Laurie, a rigger working for the BBC. Through him and his money, she set up her business, but now their positions have reversed. Laurie is no longer a rich westerner with cash. Everything is owned by Toi. Laurie drinks too much, and Toi is getting frustrated. She is still an attractive lady and asks herself: ‘Do I have to live with a fat old alcoholic forever?’
