Why would they put up a sign directing you to a hospital 1.2km away when Pattaya Memorial is only 200m farther down Klang? Amazing Thailand. Just a guess but public v. private hospital?

Judging by the number of Thais milling around, I always thought Pattaya City Hospital was public, assumed Memorial could be private. I am willing to be corrected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps because the City hospital is government run whilst Memorial is private so more ordinary Thais will be looking for it? I can't find the delete button sorry.

Although I have to say that in late 2019 a squirrely doc a Pattaya Memorial probably saved my life. The hospital on Soi Bucky is a public hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Reading this article I learned a new word, "sumata". Jealous Thai wife accepts job at brothel after tracking cheating husband to the den of iniquity ... “At what appeared to be the shop’s office, I asked the manager what went on in there and he told me it did not appear to be intercourse. Not quite anyway. So, I felt reassured.” The dismayed wife was then shocked by the brothel manager’s next question. He asked… “Would you like to try and work here yourself?” She was initially shocked by the offer but then curiosity got the better of her and she agreed. “When I got it on with my first customer, it was so much more sensual than the kind of sex we have at home. I was really turned on. As I was told by the boss, I only had to do ‘sumata,’ which doesn’t involve full sex but almost and everything else. “I loved it and since then I’ve been working secretly at the same shop. But I worry a little that one of these days I’ll run into my hubby there by accident.” What would the chances be?

Then again, how many times do we see people walking around with their noses in their phones, blithely unaware of their surroundings. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continuing with the amazing topic theme, it's just amazing the two helpers are squatting on the concrete next to the one that crumbled under one person's weight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment there is a team of Burmese workers climbing into the newly laid drainage system on Pattaya Tai cleaning a load of sludge out by the bucket load. I gave them a hearty "Mengalaba" greeting to which they replied ..... but looking at me as if I had just been beamed down from planet Zorg! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
