YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN IN THAILAND TOO LONG WHEN ...

  • it's perfectly acceptable to drive on the wrong side of the street.
  • it is no longer surprising that the only decision made at a meeting is the venue of the next meeting.
  • it's exciting to see if you can get into the lift, skytrain or subway train before anyone else can get out.
  • you are not surprised when three men show up to change a light bulb.
  • you eat bugs and tell yourself they are nutritious and have a lot of protein.
  • you tell yourself that paying bribes to the police and other officials is fine.
  • you go back to your home country and miss Thailand right away.
  • you duck your head automatically when you pass in front of someone.
  • your wrist always has some form of band around it.
  • when it's nothing out of the ordinary to see a family of five on a motorcycle and the dog riding pillion.
  • when you rely on the street dogs to be your alarm clock.
  • when you can no longer string a full sentence of English words together ... 'where go now?
