Signs youve been here too long !

[The Cobra]

 

Just for fun, some things you probably now do having been in Thailand for awhile.

 

You no longer wonder why the toilet roll is on the table and not in the bathroom.

 

You can get elastic bands of plastic bags of food without getting it all over you.

 

Pointing at things with your lips

 

Doesn't bother you motorcycles and cars are on the wrongside going in the wrong direction.

 

Paying tea money at roadsideno longer bothers you.

 

Loads of sauce bottles in the fridge but none of them are tomatoes.

 

You have dozens of spoons but only 2 forks.

 

You speak pigeon English to other farangs.

 

You stopped doing currency conversion in your head.

 

 

 

Please add yours 😉

Stopping at the dry cleaners on your way home from work has been replaced with going for a short time and still getting home in time for dinner.

A visit to the land of your birth is an exotic and expensive holiday , replete with reverse culture  shock and a relief to get back ' home '.

You can get a taxi driver to turn on his meter.

 

You argue with Google Maps because you knew a quicker route.

 

You don't hold on when riding a motorcycle taxi.

 

You've finally realised that not every Thai girl is a tattooed prostitute from Isaan.

You say....  "oh houurrrrrr" when something impresses you...

You catch yourself 'pointing at something with your lips' !!!

You are no longer able to take a dump without an arse douche hose.

 

You can't go anywhere without a menthol inhaler stuffed up your nose. 
 

You can no longer drink a soft drink unless it's served to you in a plastic bag with a straw sticking out of it and a rubber band to hang it on a door nail. 

You think it's perfectly normal to go buy some stuff at 7-Eleven in your pajamas if it's already past 10 PM at night.

You respond to conversation with...   "errr...  errr".... and to be sure to be seen to be following said conversation, throw in the odd... "jing lor..."....

You think every relationship between a man and a woman is transactional.

"Pointing at things with your lips" ???

 

I've obviously not been here long enough ... there's also a rogue Heinz ketchup bottle amongst my sauces.

I only liked Thailand when working in Bangkok. 

After my retirement, was living in Pattaya. 

Didn't like the ambience and moved away from Thailand 🇹🇭.
