Japanese toilet sign
Aug 7
Roberto Carlos does a dirty trick.
- You know that Thai food exists beyond phad Thai, green curry, and tom yum goong. You probably don’t even consider anything served in overseas restaurants “Thai” anyway.
- Nothing beats a hardcore session of back-cracking Thai massage when your tired
- The Soi dogs scare the crap out of you but you know you’re fine as long as you carry a stick with you.
- You don’t consider drinking in dorm rooms, living room, or basement partying.
- Your very long last name or your nickname (in English) tends to amaze people.
- You don’t mind drinking your soda out of a plastic bag
- You watch lakorn, despite how predictable they are. Slap that, slap her… slap her…
- You never underestimate the power of a 26 baht Sato.
- You bargain. Even if it’s already dirt cheap, you still bargain for the sake of it
- You love the king! Rao Ruk Nai Luang!
(And curse all the motherf***ing ignorant bastards that don’t even know what the hell they’re saying on YouTube!) - In April, you look forward to songkran – but NOT the heat.
- You look for the 4-round krueng prung on the table. You need your extra dose of chilli/sugar/vinegar/fish sauce to spice up your life
- Even though you don’t want to admit it; you know that she-boys could put real girls to shame
- For some reason you know that Tiger Woods is part Thai
- You’re sick of people asking you why you’re not dark, how much the red-light special costs, and “Thai? Thai-wan?”
- You still ride elephants or kwais over rice patties… NOT!
- You know the capital of Thailand isn’t Bangkok. It’s Krungtep. Krungtep Mahanakorn Amornratanakosin Mahintaramahadirok Noparatrachatani Burirom Udomrachaniwet Mahasatarn Umorn Vimarn Aowatarnsatit. (… or something like that)
- You know that nobody uses 25 salung or 50 satang coins. They’re useless. Nobody wants them – not even the ko tarns….
… And it drives you crazy when some random cashier actually asks u for it (“12 baht 50 satang ka”)
555, that’s how u laugh - Seeing a family of four and their dog all piled on a motorbike doesn’t surprise you.
- You do your shopping in the market, not Marks & Spencer.
- You have seriously adjusted your notion of what constitutes “really good English”
- You understand why 555 is the new LOL.
- You know how to respond when someone asks “poot tai dai mai?”, “bai nai?” or “hew mai?”
- The word “soi dog” does not make you think of a vegetarian BBQ.
- You don’t bow to greet each other like in other Asian cultures but instead you “Wai”.
- You know a Tuk Tuk is actually pronounce “took took”
- You know if you ask for a soda in thailand you’d wind up with carbonated singha water.
- If you are holding a conversation with someone in Thai and spelling the words phonetically you sometimes have to think about what they mean because the word they spelt could mean like 10 different words. (example: kao = rice, white, or person)
- You know you have to have your head lower than someone who is older than you or someone who is important to show respect.
- You know that in Thailand there are High So’s … that are also referred to as the Bangkok Elite.
- You , your mom, and your grandmother are fans of Bird Thongchai McIntyre
- If you’re a guy and you see a hot girl you have to be careful because there’s a strong possibility.. that’s a man.
- You’re not hungry but you’re eating (for like the 12th time today)
- You know to stand in the theaters before a movie plays in honor of the King.
- Millions of people in yellow shirts doesnt make you flinch (just another Monday)
- Lame people make jokes about paying you for sex
- No matter what you eat, it’s not greasy or spicy enough.
- You don’t care if you are superior to all other Asians or not, because being Thai is just cool in itself.
- Your last name has a minimum of 15 letters.
- You own or you worked in a Thai restaurant.
- You’re proud to be Thai – and you pass these jokes on to all your Thai friends!
