Say, Book Bank.

Doing shots of Lao Kaow , with the locals.

Eating uncooked pork at wakes.  ( stupid )

1.  You put ice in your beer, even at home and indoors.

2.  (related) you've tried all of the domestic and regional import beers and have your favorites solidly ranked into a fixed hierarchy.

3.  (also related) you know the holidays and school day hours where alcohol sales are prohibited.  And also where to find places that don't adhere to them. 

4.   You know how to cook several of your favorite Thai dishes, and where to shop to find the proper ingredients.

5.  When in Phuket you know which aisles all your favorite items are located at your closest Super Cheap.

6.  Your food pantry and fridge contain cans and bottles mostly devoid of your home country language on its labeling.  And at least one of them is fish sauce.

7.  You can ride a scooter in traffic through a roundabout without any change of speed, or any increase in heart rate or blood pressure.

8.  You can tell the difference between 1 baht and 5 baht coins just by feeling them in your pocket.

9.  You often buy full meals at 7-11 and even look forward to them. 

10.  Touts and scammers no longer bother even attempting to engage with you, even if they never saw you before (they just instinctively know you're immune).

You speak Thai and locals understand what you say.
