During my trip I complied a little list called:
You know you’re in Thailand when…
-You take a swim in the ocean before breakfast
-You eat rice at LEAST once a day
-You ride in the back of an open pickup truck almost everywhere
-Your no longer scared you’re going to die when you ride in the pickup truck when it hits big bumps at 60 mph passing someone over the center line of a twisty 2 lanes road with traffic coming the other way
-Your speechless by the landscape at least once a day
-You love eating from the street food vendors
-You drink Chang or Singha beer
-You drink way way too much
-You’ve seen a lady boy show
-You’ve seen a ping pong show
-You’re not proud you saw either of those shows
- Pad Thai or Rice with chicken is the staple meal
- You ride in long tail boats all the time
- Everyone smiles at you
- You meet a lot of other travelers and are surprised to see a lot of them are Canadian
- You see the occasional Buddhist monk
- Everywhere you go has a new cave to visit a new hike to take or a new viewpoint to see
- You’re thrilled when you find a flush toilet
- You’re shocked if you are supplied with toilet paper
- You’ve tried out the buday in the washrooms
- You’re suspicious of lady boys or prostitutes when you meet any new Thai women
- You’ve gone into town without footwear
- in fact you haven’t worn shoes in days
- you’ve seen at least one Job To Do concert and can sing their most popular song (do do do do da dum, chom sai ne com do chom tai!)

- You bargain when you buy anything
- You are occasionally woken by roosters
- You see random animals everywhere
- You know what a sarong is
