mrt273nva Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Motorcycles -When you ride your motorcycle on the wrong side of the road against heavy traffic during rush hour because your turn is only 3 blocks back. - You ride your motorcycle on the sidewalk because there are too many cars on the road. - When the police try to stop you at a check point and you run because you don't want to pay a 200 baht fine/bribe. People - When a Thai person speaks to you in English and for some reason you are only able to respond in Thai. - When your child is kidnapped and returned unharmed on a daily basis. - You are no longer startled by men trying to massage your shoulders while you urinate. Hygiene - You prefer cold showers to hot ones. - You wash your hands with ice cubes. - When you are hot you wipe your face with toilet paper.

Livinginexile Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 <font color='#000080'>You know you've been in Thailand too long when:...You stand on the toilet seat of western loos. ...You put your coat on as soon as the temperature hits the low 80's. ...You suddenly find you like the smell of durian. ...You dilute your whisky with so much water it becomes clear. ...You put ice in your larger (beer). ...You find you have an irrational fear of going to the fridge at night in your 4th floor condo incase you slip 30 feet through the French doors and over the balcony. etc...</font> Ohhhh, that's sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philo Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 When you have deserted your multi million house and garden in Isaan to stay (with your wife - who is now is a stranger, and your two children - who think barefooted is the only way to walk) in a rented room in a town where you can buy hamburgers.

WeeGB Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 When you don't bat an eyelid, as the conductor on the bus you're travelling on, keeps jumping off the bus, every time it stops, to place a large rock under the wheel, to stop it rolling back. Didn't bother me at all, I just kept watching the road, through the hole in the floor! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doggie888888 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 you've been in thailand too long when: 1) you are no longer afraid when surrounded by a pack of soi dogs 2) you think something is wrong when you reverse your car and do not hear continuous whistling by the car park attendant on his mouth whistle (or does this happen in Pattaya car parks only?) 3) you feel someone ought to collect all these responses and collate into a bestseller!

oldsparrow Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 when your wear a yellow shirt and camp at the airport Indeed ! I talk to some Farang at the yellow gatherring. Aussie family, French teacher, ex-Brit marine from Chiang Rai etc. However, they didn't think they stay too long!! You guys can be more Thai than me though Ha Ha I add: 1. When you pack big shot name cards. 2. When you are happy to have extra holiday after seeing tanks on the road. 3. When you like Heinecken more than Singha. 4. When you are not in the fashion of speaking Thai. I have a Scot in law who has lived here for almost 25 years. He speak English to the Thai who can talk to him.

aussiebebe Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 You know you've been in Thailand too long when....you greet other foreigners in pidgeon-Thai. Don't you just want to smack people silly when they greet you, not with Hello, but 'Sa-wat-dee-khrap'? Don't speak Thai! - you want to scream at them, I'm not Thai!

keyjor Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 This has been fantastic to read. All of the replies right from the start are true. What about cracked heel skin, not bothered to see three adults two kids and a dog on a motorcycle. Start using the mirrors on a m'bike to get something from your eye and not bothered what is in front, behind, sideways etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
