villagefarang Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Due to popular dislike I am back with another in my series of Checklists. I don't care much for the newbies. They are always reinventing the wheel. Making grand proclamations after spending ten minutes in country with a phrase book. At the same time, I gain no pleasure from the suffering of others. Even when it is largely the persons own fault. This is my attempt to help and is just a starter list. Hope others will add more tips that might be more relevant than mine. 1. How much money do you have? 2. Do you have a job or prospects if you need one? 3. Do you qualify for a visa? 4. How old are you? (A 20 year old will experience a different Thailand than a 50 year old.) 5. How is your health? (Do you have issues with food, medicine, heat, pollution?) 6. Do you speak any Thai? 7. What is you personality type? (The way you act will have a major impact on how you are treated.) 8. Are you a happy, attractive, successful person? (If you are an unhappy, unsuccessful, looser back home then that is what you will be here, too.) 9. How much experience do you have? (The naive and gullible are a walking target and easy pickings for a good con-man.) 10. Are your vises under control? (Thailand is a place where you can easily indulge your vises and that can be a very slippery slop.) 11. etc................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsetBkk Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 10. Are your vises under control? (Thailand is a place where you can easily indulge your vises and that can be a very slippery slop.) My vises are well under control, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamphun Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Loose bowels can often lead to slippery slop. Consult a doctor. 12. Can you start threads on an internet forum ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spot Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 8. Are you a happy, attractive, successful person? (If you are an unhappy, unsuccessful, looser back home then that is what you will be here, too.) You missed unattractive out as being partly to blame for being a loser. Or is that looser?

chinthee Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 All sex tourists and backpackers are now required to wear pink hello kitty armbands. Better to buy locally before coming to Thailand so as not to be unprepared, and to find individual and unique ones in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 39. Do you find that you keep lists of your lists? 48. Do you think that making lists makes you a better person to experience the unpredictable MyBpenRai-ness of Thailand? 48. How many of your vices are not under control?
