panadolsandwich Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 I"m a surgeon - a notable one, with rock steady hands, yet I'm an highly functioning alcoholic. A lot of people find it very hard to believe I can be both, but it is true. I live multiple lives, in the sense that noone could ever divine one from the other. When I'm in Thailand I hire two bodyguards. They are under strict instructions not to inflict harm on anybody - UNLESS it may harm my well being. All I can say is that they've followed my instructions. I'm a ghost. I leave false trails. I'm purposely vague and I pay my people very well.

panadolsandwich Posted May 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 That may well be. You may have noticed yourself that you kind of fall in and out of love with Thailand. My point is it is a far more dangerous place than say 2005 for example. Having bodyguards removes a lot of complications - basically no one wants to fuck with you - and the people that do are easily identifiable. Not to mention the political connections. It's not cheap, but I find it workable - having said that I'm incredibly disenchanted by Thailand at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panadolsandwich Posted May 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Whether or not they are ex-army SAS, active police colonels, etc. etc. - like I say there is an active political connection, and if you don't have the wit to work that out - then I'm sorry you're shit out of luck, I worked it into my teaching contract - what is more is that they are extremely confidential.

panadolsandwich Posted May 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 And as a byword - completely legal. So take that away and suck on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray-Ray Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 The arrogance shown leaves no doubt that you are being truthful about being a surgeon... and the necessity for bodyguards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panadolsandwich Posted May 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 You are correct that you need a certain level of arrogance to be a surgeon. You are after all directly manipulating peoples lives - hopefully in a good way. As I explained, I like to drink and sometimes that gets me into trouble - bodyguards remove that risk, but add more value. Having an active bodyguard working solely for your interests does magic in Thailand - particularly in the current political situation. It's all about finding a happy compromise - something most people can't comprehend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I used to be surgeon, but then I cut off my thumb and they banned me from hospitals. I told them I sewed it back on, but they still won't let me in, unless as a patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panadolsandwich Posted May 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'm actually very good at what I do. I never practice under the influence. In my career I've saved numerous lives - too many to mention. If I come across as arrogant, then my apologies - I try to be modest, my courtesy is a problem that rains down on me when I'm drinking - I feel god like on the bottle. All I see, all I move, show my self. I'm the very Jekyll and Hyde. We can forget about this dismal world, because I'm on the bottle again natch!

Mekong Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 A meek, mild man with a vivid fantasy life. In a few dozen paragraphs he imagines himself a wartime pilot, an emergency-room surgeon, and a devil-may-care killer.
