Explaining Thailand to people that have never been

[mrwebb8825]

Tell them Thailand has Bob, Sticky Rice Balls, a Big Bird, a Doctor that prescribes cures for visa issues and a Cat named Sheryl that gives good medical advice, smile and walk away leaving them to speculate.

Go to a Thai Restaurant in the West.  Enjoy the ambiance and food.

Now - real Thailand?  It's everything the Western Thai restaurant wasn't.

W. if you could afford it. would you rather live back in the Western world where you were born? 

 

 

No way.

 

But people here are like free-floating atomic particles. The vast majority of the molecules in the universe never leave their little carbon cluster.

 

Is that good or bad? I say: Good. Free-floating atoms want to float. Freely.

 

I have been ruined for the west by $2 cappuccino's. If I ever go back, I'll be kicking myself whenever I order one.

 

But expecting a Thai person to big up you for going to Mai Sai is a guaranteed disappointment. They have never gone to a place just out of curiousity and they never will.

West is ok for 3 weeks. Clean. Nice steak. After that boring.
