:unsure:i am about 35% of those now. Rather worrying.

[kuifje]

Could this topic/forum be 'pinned' or similar.

I thing a lot of people like to smile after reading all the posters, because it is what we all experience when staying here. (more or less).

Although many years in Thailand, I only recently became more active on THAIVISA.

Some treads are serious, some informative, some bullshit, but the ones which can be us laugh are not so plenty.

I know many  foreigners where, who will visit THAIVISA only sometimes, and they will be missing some good treads.

Thanks tumtong,  I'm feeling good now. Originally thought   "oh dear,   I suppose I'd better read this and hear the bad news".   Thanks to others as well. Love that optimistic stuff.

And you put toilet paper in the bin instead of down the loo!

You avoid fellow westerners because you know the vast number of their conversations would have you looking for the nearest gallon of industrial drain cleaner to drink rather than endure another second of their chat.

[transam]

When the captain on my flight from Ubon to BKK says turn your phones off and l make sure its turned on and make half dozen calls to people l don't want to talk to so those on board can see l'v got the latest phone.

When after a munch l forget what soap is for and find the nearest rain water butt.

When l overtake on the inside when the guy in front has signalled to turn left.

When l look at the Ants biting my feet and wonder how we an serve them up for lunch.

When you watch the world cup with Thai commentary and you don’t even notice

You have a 5 minute conversation with a wrong number who called you by mistake.

Lorsque tu oublies laquelle est ta premiere langue...

Ooops, when you forget what your first language is.

[andyww]

... when you see a power outlet with 5 different appliances running off it, which intermittently emits sparks as not being dangerous but perfectly normal.

...when you start examining the tat in the glass-fronted cabinets which every Thai house has.

...when you have one of those tissue holders with gold plastic decoration in your car.

..when your nice new Honda has a bunch of dirty looking marks placed on the inside of the roof by a monk

...when you start staring at taxi meter readings and doing all kinds of mental calculations to check whether the meter has been tampered with.

...when you understand that pedestrian crossings have no actual purpose whatsoever

... when you are woken at 3am by a huge explosion of a transformer on a pole outside and you just roll over and go back to sleep

... when you consider a foot of water in your house as a mild case of dampness

... when you see the helpful provision of traffic lights with a seconds countdown as a means of encouraging a competitive spirit.

... when you realise its absolutely impossible to completely escape squat toilets for ever, and the first time you use one for ages, your phone falls down the toilet.

... when you stop wondering why, when you visit Thai friends with your wife, the hostess always places a glass of water in front of you and nobody else.

and:

You know you have been on Thaivisa too long when you believe "Thai's" really should have that apostrophe, the Thai currency is the "Bath" and foreigners are referred-to as "Farlangs"

It took me aeons to figure out the best way to get those bands off was just to keep pulling them and they'd eventually unravel. Prior to that it was nam pla everywhere ( usually all over me or the table) except where I wanted it to go

Not only does it not bother you a lady is cleaning the urinal next to the one you are using, but that you also start to have a casual chat with her.

So F*****g True!!!!

That isn't as bad as when the male attendant starts to massage your shoulders when your standing at the urinal.
