willyumiii Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 This is the OP. There have been some great posts so far! But we all know there are so many more, let's keep it going. Maybe I can compile them all into one list hen it peters out. Thanks much to Seastallion for deleting the inappropriate replies... Keep it fun. I am surprised that so few have been about driving and traffic in Thailand. How about..... You may be in Thailand..... if it is O.K. to walk in the street and ride your motor scooter on the sidewalk! You may be in Thailand if..... That line in the middle of the road is just a pretty decoration and people can drive on any side they choose! You may be in Thailand if.... You see children riding on top of a school bus! Thanks for all of the great input so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seastallion Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 You might be in Thailand if TVF is your sole source of humour in your life. You might be in Thailand if rivalries on TVF actually make you angry. You definitely are in Thailand if you scoff at newbies to TVF who mention something naive about any of the subjects posted above.

mca Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 You flush the urinal before taking a piss. When checking into a hotel the first thing you do is see whether the toilet in your room has a bum gun. You don't stop when the traffic lights turn to red because a glance in your rear view mirror tells you the bloke in the car behind certainly isn't. When going between Asoke and Petchburi Road on Ratchadapisek your wank bank crashes from being overloaded. You wonder at what point in a coversation an expat has decided to instigate with you in a lift etc. he going to say something mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mca Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 You are definitely in Thailand when....You have a choice of closing the toilet door or dropping your pants, but not enough time to do both. . Amen brother! Or for even closer calls the holy trinity of ripping your trousers and pants down with one hand as you lift the toilet seat with the other while sitting down at the same time in an act of coordination that wouls have a Chinese State Circus acrobat green with envy.

overherebc Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 You've been here too long when, You fully understand that the correct direction around a roundabout is entirely dependent on the size of your vehicle.

xen Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Maps do not make any sense anymore A good day out is spent in a shopping mall You only drink Lao Khao until somebody else is paying at the restaurant then it is nothing below Johnny Walker Black you drink ! If it is a hot day it is perfectly acceptable to park your car/bike on the footpath in the shade and expect pedestrians to walk in the sun to get around it .

mca Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 You drive into a torrential rainstorm that requires dipped headlights and driving at a very low speed before emerging onto a bone dry road with not a raindrop in sight after about 200 metres. Hot dogs wrapped in a crepe and smothered in chocolate sauce. Drinking Coke from a plastic bag. A police officer riding up to man a check point with no helmet where they're stopping motorcyclists for not wearing a helmet. ( For Brits) Turning left at a red traffic light.

xen Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Going in for a nice relaxing massage and having the television blaring out at 120 decibels with a bells and whistles "comedy " show. Can substitute massage for a meal in a restaurant. As soon as you walk in the television goes on 'for your entertainment.'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Having those pick-ups going around with the enormous speakers advertising something about something you are not remotely interested in but it disturbs your peace ,and goodwill towards your fellow mankind, for the next half hour until the earthquake like vibrations subside. Then you go back to whatever you were doing as if nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litlos Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 - Your pizza has mayonnaise on it - Tinned condensed milk on toast is considered Aloi - Going for a pre dinner walk doubles as collecting time for assorted leaves and weeds that are incorporated into dinner Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
