-You must drink EVERYTHING with a straw (even beer…and no, you don’t get drunk faster that way).
-A napkin equals a two squares of one-ply toilet paper.
-You must eat EVERYTHING with a spoon (and I mean it, even salad or chocolate cake!). The fork is used to help put food on the spoon and there is no knife.
-“Where are you going?” Actually means “Hello.”
-When I first arrived in Thailand, I wondered why everyone was sticking chapstick up their nose. But actually, many Thai people like to sniff a menthol/peppermint/eucalyptus concoction when they "feel dizzy."
-There are many “Lady-Boys” or “Tiffany girls” in Thailand.
-Products to whiten your skin are popular here, quite the opposite of the bronzing products you see in the US.
-Many Thai cars are blessed by a Monk and have painting on the inside roof similar to this:
-May is only person in Thailand (at least that I've found) who can pronounce my name. To all others, I am known as "Ewa."
-Most people in Thailand seem to think I look like Natalie. She is from Canada and won Ms. Universe 2005. Natalie is famous in Thailand because she married a Thai pro-tennis player and now lives in Thailand. Who wouldn't love a country where everyone thinks you look like Ms. Universe?!
-Thailand truly is the “Land of Smiles!”
