Changes To Your Lifestyle Since Living In Thailand

[sarahsbloke]

I see that one of the biggest changes is that some people are gaining weight by eating Thai food,

I blame sticky rice and beer, both extremely fattening.

Many but primarily DIET:D..

Things I do in Thailand I never used to do back home:

Hardly walk anywhere and get taxis every day

Spend more money as things are cheaper so buy more

Not really care about fashion/clothes as there is no fashion out here or anywhere really to buy western clothes and where you can they are way more expensive and much smaller range

Never cook and order take away every day

Have a practically empty fridge

Hardly watch TV

Getting fat from too much Thai food

Since moving to Thailand I have:

--Discovered the bum gun

--Become totally debt free

--Discovered Internet forums

--Purchased a diesel powered pick-up truck (always had gasoline before)

--Learned to enjoy riding my little motorbike

--Become a millionaire (In terms of the Baht)

--Become a friend of Bill W. without having to attend all those meetings

--Get lost nearly every time I drive more than 25 kilometers from my home

--Always think I am getting a good deal when I see the sign “3 for 100”. (I am learning)

--Cook at home more than before

--I turn off my phones for days at a time (peace and quiet)

--Levis and T-shirts are my friend (except for visits to Immigration)

--Been kissed by a ladyboy and liked it

--I eat Thai style foods about half the time

--The song by Harry Belafonte ??? “Yes, we have no bananas today” actually makes sense to me

Running away ?

I had a good laugh at "uncomfortable pillow and mattress."

In seven years, I've bought 10 pillows and four mattresses (for one bed, one person!) The eternal search goes on.....

Look under the bottom mattress. Remove pea.

By golly, I think you're on to something!

Great post mate.

Not sure about the ladyboy thing but at least you're being honest.

Wasn't it Banana Boat Song?
