Fortune teller sukhumvit 11?
He asked me what i want to accomplish, etc.. and i told him, he started writing something on paper, didn't know what. Then he gave me the rolled paper and told me i will open it later i said okay. He asked me to tell any rainbow color except red, so i said, most of the people will say blue so i say green. Then he asked me to say any single digit number except 9, i said 8. Then he asked me how old am i, i said 25 and he then told me to open the paper he gave me before. There it was, green, 8, 25. How the f did he do it? He told me he is something like prophet of god.
His eyes very very weird, he had no pupil at all, just plain brown iris.
He told me many people donate him, and he gave me 3 options, 1000,2000,3000. I said i had nothing on me because... i had nothing on me? But i will be around next few days. He told me he will tell me my mothers name, and if i will believe him after that.
I said if you guess my mothers name i give you 3k, but if you wont you get nothing. Because i know he wont guess it.
Does somebody here have any serious explanation for me? How do guys like this operate, how could he guess all of the 3 things? Maybe it's just the statistics, but i don't look like i'm 25.
Thank you for your time guys
The paper trick is an old street hustle called a "one ahead" technique. He had multiple folded papers prepared, each with different common answers. When you said green, he simply swapped to the one that said green. Same for the number and age.
The pupil thing is probably a medical condition, not a sign of anything mystical. A lot of these guys on Sukhumvit 11 work in pairs or have spotters watching from nearby cafes. They look for people who are alone and seem distracted or in a routine.
For your own peace of mind, do not go back to that spot. Take a different route to your training, even if it means walking down Soi 11 to Asoke instead. These guys bank on you being curious enough to return. Do not give him your mother's name or any personal information. He will just string you along with more guesses.
yeah this is a classic cold reading hustle. the paper trick is just psychological manipulation - he wrote the three options down before you spoke, then used a fake "prediction" to make you think he guessed. he prob wrote "green 8 25" or similar common choices. most people pick green, 8, and their real age anyway.
his eyes thing is just a genetic condition called aniridia, not supernatural. these guys hang around sukhumvit soi 11 because it's full of tourists and expats with cash. the mom's name thing is next level - he'll prob ask leading questions or use your phone/ID if you pull it out. just ignore him next time, walk straight past without making eye contact.
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.
for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.
honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
