You Know You've Been In Thailand For Too Long When....

[cooked]

You no longer look both ways before entering a dual carriage way.

You no longer swear at the diabolical and suicidal driving of some Thais.

You offer a beer out of your icebox to the policeman checking your driving license whilst drunk.

In the supermarket, you start actively looking for a Farang whose girlfriend isn't 20 years younger / 30 Kg lighter than he is. (a losing game around here).

You get sick of Thaivisa.

You get banned from a forum and don't care.

[Mosha]

You see a new topic by exactly the same title as before.

[transam]

Think you have.

[cooked]

[Payboy]

You see a new topic by exactly the same title as before.

But still click on it hoping to see something different.

[BoonToong]

But I suffer from memory loss, so this is very helpful, thank you

What was the question again?

[ivan96822]

You use the term "same same" and you are not playing around.

[Pakboong]

The footprints on the toilet seat are yours.

[allane]

You want to sit on the table, and eat on the floor.

[how241]

You use the term "same same" and you are not playing around.

does not this happen once you get under the thumb?

[eek]

You accept antibiotics as the common cure all for all ailments...

(lol, but NEVER shall i!!)

[lemoncake]

You pay the police fine without arguing or trying to prove you were not in the wrong

[cooked]

when you have been spending too much time on this forum.

[bkk_mike]

The last time I remember this topic coming up, the answer that stuck in my head was...

... when you need to take the dog to the vet and contemplate using a motorbike rather than a car...

[DocN]

When you are looking for any kind of motored vehicle, to get to the 7eleven, that is 300 meters away!

[Jawnie]

When you stop using prepositions, articles, and tenses when speaking, even to other farang. "I tell girlfriend I go store. She get mad, say I have another girlfriend. I tell her no but she say I liar."

When it is totally acceptable to you, to stop dead at the foot /top of escalators, in the middle of a supermarket- aisle or elsewhere, where people might be directly behind you, and do your life- planning/ a telephone call etc.

When you actually listen to yuor mother in laws opinion and nod your head.

That's when its time to go.

[AhFarangJa]

You watch Thai soaps on the t.v. and actually begin to understand the plot, and ignore the screaming..

[farangme]

A visiting acquaintance hooks up with a katoey and you decide it best to keep the information to yourself.
