Really thoughtful Thai guys

[PattayaMale]

While in Bumrungrad Hospital last week 2 guys brought flowers to my room. Now what made this so special is that I live in Pattaya and had met one of them once at a birthday party for his cousin. The other I knew a little better as I had gone with him and his farang boyfriend to dinner a few times before the farang went back to the USA.

 

How they knew I was there is still a mystery to me, and they weren't telling. But it sure made me happy!

 

Forget the demonstrations and airport closures. The real joy of living in Thailand are the wonderful Thais and great expats that I have met

It's refreshing to hear someone say something so nice about the Thai boys instead of the usual complaining of being taken advantage of.

Thai boys are amazing!

 

Even when they speak little English they still know how to take care

of someone and see that they are happy.

 

If you treat them with respect you will reap so many rewards.

 

I swallowed a bee, while sleeping, on Jomptien beach and was starting to

have my airway closed off from the swelling and my allergy to bees.

A very nice Thai boy took me on his motorbike to the hospital just in the nick of time!

He really saved my life.

 

After I was released I tracked him down and gave him some money which he

refused to take. I just shoved the bills into his pocket and walked away.

 

Every year when I come to Jomptien beach I see him and he still remembers me.

He also reminds me to be safe and have a nice holiday.

 

Most people that complain about being taken advantage of have themselves

created the problem by not knowing when the proper time is to say "mai chai"

(not yes) when he asks for something. If you spoil him 100% of the time you

can't blame him for asking for more. It's human nature.

This reminds of when I was working as a supervisor and had weekly staff meetings (required). I started to bring in bagels, cream cheese schmears and orange juice for the meetings every week. After I had been doing this for a couple of months, one nurse came into the meeting, saw what I had brought and said, "What, bagels again?" I learned that if you do something on a regular basis it is not appreciated as much as an occasional treat.
