Die Ankunft der amerikanischen Soldaten in Pattaya hat Gajendra Kumar persönlich überwacht: auf den Monitoren im Hinterzimmer. Kumar, 28, leitet das Jalwa, einen der protzigsten Nachtclubs an der Walking Street, wie die weltberühmte Party- und Rotlichtmeile der thailändischen Strandstadt heißt. Seine Nächte verbringt er überwiegend in einem Labyrinth aus Räumen, das hinter der laserbeleuchteten Tanzfläche beginnt: Buchhaltung, Menüpreise, Inventur, Kameraanlage. Am Mittwoch hat er aber ganz genau auf die Bildschirme gestarrt.
5.000 Amerikaner hatten am selben Morgen in den Häfen rings um Pattaya festgemacht.

Petersen Jr. in Sriracha; der Lenkwaffenkreuzer USS Robert Smalls in Map Ta Phut, dazu weitere Begleitschiffe. 286 Tage waren sie unterwegs, ein Rekord, über den seit Wochen amerikanische Zeitungen schreiben.
