When you don't notice the 3 dozen stray dogs barking allnite in the empty lot next door.

Ain't that the truth. It took a while, but I finally got used to the dozen or so roosters crowing all night in the empty wooded area behind my hotel.

You set up a unlicensed bar at the back of the beach behind the sunbeds, working on a woven mat, selling beer to tourists out of an esky, you have several small dogs with you, and many like minded acculturated Farrang's hang around you. In the quieter moments, you all play improvised Boules, with whatever sticks and rocks are laying around.

You curse as well in Thai as you do in your own language and often with greater effect.

You only wear shoes when going out someplace nice.

You came to Thailand the kinda guy that wasn't very confident around women, now you can almost always pull any girl you want and don't care if you can't.

You can't imagine living without your house staff.

You hate or love Taksin with a passion.

You Wai respectfully at the shrine or Wat, and occasionally give offerings and pray there despite not being Buddhist, because it just feels right for were you are at.

You look around at the other passengers and giggle with your girl every time you get on the BTS and play "Guess who's getting off at Nana"

You know the holy trinity of Thai soaps and can spot them within 3 seconds of watching any Thai soap (The good girl, the evil Bytch, and the dumb guy they both like)

You Drive in Bangkok like it was nothing.
