Newbies they still exist

[My Penis is hungry]

So I have a mate of mine who asked me are Thai dentists really any good?

 

He has a mouth full of holes, not cavities, holes, and could buy a new Tesla for what it would cost to fix in Farangland.

 

Yep, in Thailand mostly I've had great experiences, 2 shitty ones, back in Farangland 2 great experiences and mostly shitty ones so I'm sold on Thai dental care.

 

So ignoring my recommendation, of a place in Rama 9 area, he found on dental place in Sukhumvit, in the heart of Soi Arab area.

 

Seems quite ok by the website, cost would only cover 4 tyres, the following days will tell. 

 

But as he's a complete newbie, and he claims, regularly, ZERO interest in nightlife!!!

I suggested he stay in Rama9, or Victory Monument. His budget is, well, budget, I know places there that charge by the day not the hour for the rate he wants, so together we found a bunch, preferring Vic Monument so he could get the SkyTrain to the Dental clinic easily.

 

He told me he was definitely NOT interested in night life, he doesn't drink, or do drugs, so, I believe him, letting him book which ever hotel he wants.

 

He has my number so he can call when he lands in case of problems. I suggested he gets the SkyTrain directly to his hotel, cheaper and safer than taxi and frankly easier to explain. He doesn't want to carry Farang $'s so he will get Baht from the airport ATM, easy. 10,000 baht will cover for the first few days at least! As hotel is prepaid he tells me. 

 

So he lands, gets a little lost within the airport calls me a few times, finally after a long discussion he understands that he can't use a money exchange, as he didn't bring any money . . . and uses an airport ATM and gets out and tells me he has a hotel booked but not Victory Monument.

 

Suk Soi 7

 

WTF

 

That's a bit hard core. You'll be surrounded by nightlife

 

Really? He asks me?

 

Yeah, well enjoy 

 

So next day dawns and I get a call, he can't find internet, it's 2024, not 2004, he's becoming the ultimate newbie.

 

What ATM can I use? 

 

Well what are their names? 

 

One is blue and one is another colour, very helpful. NAMES???

 

Oh! It dawns on him their is English on the machines. Thai Military Band and SCB.

 

Ok, you can use those, but get on the internet to see what your being charged? Didn't you get 10,000 out last night?

 

He doesn't telle where there 10,000 baht went

 

But tells me he has internet issues

 

He won't put a Thai Sim card in his phone  because he might miss a call from Farangland. I point out he's unemployed, no wife, no family, just who will call? Take out the Farang Sim and out in a Thai one OR learn to use this magic thing called WiFi 

 

Anyway, that's not the problem.

 

The hotel sucka, it's aweful.

 

Excellent! Move to Victory Monument, Rama 9 anywhere away from Sukhumvit and I'll feel safer for you.

 

No it's all good he tells. I've found a much better hotel.

 

It's in Soi 5.

 

The ultimate Newbie!

 

That is Arab and Nigeria central. Drug deals and whore all night! You will not last!

 

Oh! I noticed some African looking people, are they Nigerian? They seem very friendly.

 

I am waiting for tomorrows call . . .

Dentists in Farangland should be made to wear balaclavas

Been going to this place for almost 20 years. All prices on website. Highly recommend. I did my research before deciding on this place.

Newbies are on FaceBook, Instagram. However we were naive, they are much more than what we were.

Depends on what…and keep in mind, most of the research, history, information etc, came from those who went before them/us… while it is indeed naive to think they know nothing, many of today’s kids have an entirely different way of looking at things than we did/do, some of it is fucked up and some of it is very enlightened thinking, free of a lot of the bull shit we were saddled with…I remember 20 years back seeing guys in my Thai class, “techturds” as we refer to them, who were just clueless wankers in all aspects of life except “tech.”  These fuck sticks never had a date until they went to Thailand and paid for one…married bar girls (which is fine, no judgements), brought them to the USA and now these guys were experts on women and Thailand and everything Thai/farang related…they were not…

NOTE: Nothing wrong with marrying a bar girl/hooker. There is however something inherently wrong with marrying your first and in some cases, ONLY, piece of ass…be it a “professional girl” or a high school sweetheart etc…

Ramkhanhaeng University Bangkok. My wife graduated from there, Thai Princess handing over her diploma. The whole village came to see it. She was the only one who ever graduated from a University.

No Sir, just coming across this statement, you are dead wrong. Please consider life´s experience going into a million different directions, yours is only one of them.

As some might consider me to be, a man whore, rather than a man-baby, I am fortunate enough to have had numerous opportunities to try relationships on for size, also hundreds of rejections from the same exploratory path, and it took me three,  "boots and all"   campaigns to finally end up with a genuine keeper.

This is not a record of a successful man, rather, that of a failure who found luck eventually.

Norman Gunston once asked, of Zsa Zsa Gabor in an interview:  "...you've been successfully married, 12 times, what's your secret?"

And from a song, "If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all".   "Born Under a Bad Sign" Albert King, 1967

Yes, but consider if you will, you/we have many options. Would it be wise to take the first option? Or, would it be better to hold out until you see what is available then pick the best option? 
     My point was/is, there were many clueless types who took the first option and then act like they know it all, and simply take what that option tells them or gives them. I think wiser might usually be the guy who gathered experience, learned from other and selected from a larger pool of options, while freely admitting he could still learn. The “techturds” in question, were/are like “1 hit wonders,” they got 1 but now feel they are rock stars who “know the game.” 
    We can take a coworker of mine, let’s call him “Norris” (mainly cause it’s his name). A married guy (married to a Farang) know it all about everything, very annoying. He decided to go to Thailand as he was then 63+ and his marriage was “strained.”  He asked for advice, but ignored it as he already knew better. He had chatted with a girl on line, smoking hot pro or ex pro/semi pro went to see her. 2 months later goes back and drops $10K on a wedding(still married in the USA) despite all our warning. Why listen to us? His “Gf/wife” told him different. Long story short, he showed up on a surprise visit, met her English husband and that was that. He met another and “she is different.” 
     In summary, always be willing to learn, never think you know it all and don’t be so quick to take the first option. Note: I’ve only ever heard 1 person here flat out say he was “an expert on all things Thai…” he still owes Mekong 2000Thb.
