Rants, Stupid Shit and Coronavirus in Thailand

[EihTooms]

Exactly. People are often quoting an entire post just to comment on a particular part of it. Or they are quoting an entire lengthy field report just to write "Great report!"
Sigh.

If you are quoting to reply to a post while on your smartphone, it does require much more effort to delete the unnecessary parts and leave the small portion you're replying about. But it can be done. I do wish there was simply a Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down option to eliminate the "I agree" or "Good post" comments after a very long FR has been quoted. But, again, that is mostly an annoyance when you are reading these threads on a smartphone. It is easy to skim past them while on a full sized computer or laptop.

That was back in the 90's when you could get a gal under the table sucking your dick from a small fee. It's gone to shit in there now as they're too fussy about farangs and prefer a quick in out with Jap guys.

Fun? Was it ever. You'd walk around and gals would grab your johnson. They were forward and aggressive. Liked to drink and dance. Place was a raucous party every night. How could I describe it? Gals were in some ways like Soi 6 gals in Pattaya. Pulled hundreds of gals there from 99-07. Now, bunch of gals standing around with dudes circling. Like a middle school dance. Very little interaction and rarely will you see a gal drinking and having a good time. They all adopt this faux demure attitude because that is what the majority of the current crop of customers want. I was in there the other night with a group of friends and ran into a dude I had not seen in awhile. We were talking and guess some gal was irritated that we were standing in front of her, she kept telling us to move, we didn't, plenty of room for traffic around us, kept pointing for us to walk on, we didn't, finally my friend had to tell her to f& off to get her to shut up. FFS we were drinking and spending money at the bar. The place just is not fun anymore. It's the antithesis. Asian style and Farang style are different. Not better or worse, but different. The gals in Thermae cater to their customer base. It's predominately Asian. And it just ain't my thing.

Lots of young Asian dudes in Thermae as well. I love seeing young dudes in the P4 P scene. Young white men in BKK are not using P4 P. Most farang guys under 40 and almost all under 35 are really anti-P4 P. They cast aspersions at men who participate. Sad really.

The Indo laugh is mimicking a witch from one of there legends / kids story.

My favorite is the Pocong laugh. That one always cracks me up.

Is it customary for a hospital / doctor to unilaterally decide days later that I should come for a follow-up appointment? The fact that they have been calling me reinforces my suspicion no 2nd appointment was ever agreed on (one never knows with language problems). Otherwise why call me? It was not as though I was having an operation. It was just, at best, a redundant 2nd consultation.

I had the same thing happen with a Dermatologist in Houston Texas. I had not scheduled a follow up, but they called me saying I did have one coming up the following week. I called them back saying I did not need a follow up and to cancel that since we never agreed upon it in the first place. A few months later I received the bill for not showing up for the follow up. I called them refusing to pay and asked them to remove that charge. A few months later I received a letter from a lawyer stating they were suing me. It also hit my credit report as a negative.

So it's not just Thailand.

I'd be up for either. As to the GB, I should go first because I am 2.5 minutes and at my age, nothing comes out. I'm hung like a stud mouse too.

As to Toms, they are my fav. I'm working one right now at the local market who speaks nice English and hope I can score. I just like to show them that this old man munches the clam better than any girl they will meet. That's why I have a 24 year old model girlfriend back home, ain't my wallet of my looks, its my sliver tongue.

I think you will be able to connect the dots here. Because of your honesty, however brutal it may be, it shows that you have little to no ego. For that, you will get a well deserved Monkeypaw prize. How about a brand new car to play with? Ever heard of a Porche777 ? I think you know what to do with that right? Show me how smart you are and you can thank me for the new car later, but only on the ISG board. No PM needed but it's nice to always to get one, right? The Porche777 is a very fun ride for those who have a silver tongue and likes munching clams. Enjoy your car.

MonkeyPaw arrived in town Wednesday and I had the pleasure of meeting him for a night on WS. For those who STILL might not believe he is real and actually is out there hunting women, I will add my confirmation to the growing list of senior members here who can vouch for him. He can be over the top, and he has an interesting philosophy on life, but I witnessed his charm and his game on the ladies, and he kills it! At a couple of points I was in uncontrollable laughter, and for this nerd with a Vulcan-like personality much of the time who is always in control of his emotions, that was an amazing thing! His little tricks with the bugs and now buzzing vibrators and lighters that will shock, I mean, the guys gets attention, he gets the girls and those around him laughing, and if you get a girl laughing, you have won half the battle..

Because for me it's all about tricks, traps, and trophies or fuck, feed, and fifty. Does anybody even know what all this means? Insight, intellect, spirituality will get you far in my world. And how do I keep getting the both girls and guys to keep playing, knowing what I can do with all these mind games? My powers I keep telling folks about. Here is a hint. Thanks to God, I, me, myself was created and born a leader. Simple research on Google suggests:

All leaders exhibit the same types of leadership power as displayed by (knowledge, skills, and abilities).

Legitimate power.

Information power.

Expert power.

Reward power.

Coercive power.

Referent power.

Charismatic power.

Moral power.

By the way. Anybody know which club that neon sign is from?

One week ago I saw a dermatologist at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya (BHP) for a skin rash. Went home with some medicines, next day the rash was gone, would most certainly have gone away by itself. The price charged was reasonable, something like 1700 thb.

Now today at 3 pm I got a phone call from BHP to remind me of an appointment tomorrow. I had not recollection of any appointment tomorrow and I said so after some talking at cross purposes. One hour after that phone call I got an unanswerable text message saying "Mr. (my name) has an appointment with Dr. (doctor's name) at Dermatology Center on 16/11/18 at 13:00 at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya."

Where I come from after you got dismissed by a doctor for a minor ailment you only came back if explicitely agreed or if the condition didn't improve.

Is it customary for a hospital / doctor to unilaterally decide days later that I should come for a follow-up appointment? The fact that they have been calling me reinforces my suspicion no 2nd appointment was ever agreed on (one never knows with language problems). Otherwise why call me? It was not as though I was having an operation. It was just, at best, a redundant 2nd consultation.

I know we are cash cows. I don't mind being one of sorts. I have good insurance coverage. But this feels eerie.

I have had no serious medical or dental issues so far in Thailand but the few interactions I've had have been tainted by weird little anomalies that do not add up to an encouraging impression.

I'm with you. 555 for a Thai means hahaha. It has nothing to do with anything sexual. In Spanish it's jajaja.

I have never heard 222, however, back in the early 2000's, the girls used to say 333 about the Japanese customers meaning 3 inches for 3 minutes for 3000 baht. They were paying 3000 even way back in the early 2000's so I can't imagine when it was that they were paying only 2000 to qualify for 222. My guess is the Japanese are paying 5 to 7000 now so the girls don't use the joke anymore since they exceeded the length possibility when it went past 3.

See gals in Thermae quoting 3 k all the time, and getting it. Amazing. Wouldn't go over 1500 for any of them.

Yes. But I'm not too fussed about how Santa Claus might say it. I won't be chatting him up any time soon.

Indonesians say "wkwkwkwk" to indicate a laugh. I think they got that from the old days when the game Pac Man was popular.

And Santa Claus says ho ho ho. Got it.

555 means Ha Ha Ha, the Thai 5 which is pronounced ha. It is used to indicate laughter on chats or other forms of social media communication in Thailand. It doesn't have anything to do with length, time, or remuneration.

Snipping is in fact good practice to avoid cluttering the forum with full texts of previous posts.

I don't ask him his reasons for any request he makes of me. "don't tell anyone I told you about here, OK". "don't tell anyone where this place is OK". "I never told you this but,""don't come here without me or _ "please do not be going there." "Do you want to eat? Sure I'll buy. Thank you, we will go _ OK." Always a smile.

As long timers know, the hierarchy and nature of Thai society permits status and power to be indicated by a subtle smile and a manner of speaking and choice of language. Thais understand this implicitly, and understand that a simple smiling request is actually a command. Me, I'm an fat old git, but I'm not stupid so I know that what he wants is fine with me. I never have to worry about things.

Honoring a friends request is admirable and totally understandable. I am aware there are some back street spots in the Pratunam area that for whatever nefarious reason owners prefer are kept under the radar and are almost exclusively visited by Thais. Perhaps this explains your friends reluctance.
