I know it’s probably been done to death elsewhere, but here’s my two penn’orth.

You know when you’ve been in Thailand too long when…

1.     You walk round the back of two people talking in a corridor.

2.     You don’t bat an eyelid when you see someone squeezing their spots in the motorbike wing mirror.

3.     You are short with the waitress when she doesn’t automatically bring the prik nam pla.

4.     Your missus brings home a floral plastic table cloth and you coo admiringly before laying out the pink tissue holder.

5.     You duck when stepping over someone’s outstretched legs when they are sitting on the floor.

6.     Unabashed, you have a good rummage in your nostril to find a prize bogie.

7.     You put ice in the glass before pouring a beer.

8.     You always take a big stick when walking outside the moo baan, ready for the soi dogs.

9.     On your first day back in the UK, you say at the petrol station, “Gow ha, dem tank, khrap.”

10.  The plumber says he’ll be round in the morning so you go out, knowing that he’ll come in the afternoon (or tomorrow).
