Can you say "Game, Spicy, Tong, and Got" and be referring to your friends. 


Can you say "Nine, Four, Arm, and Noon" and be referring to your students. 


Can you eat a dessert based around yellow beans and think it is delicious.


Can you wear a full denim outfit (jeans, shirt, shoes, scrunchie) outside of an 80s themed party. 


Can you hear fireworks on a weekly basis.


Can you drink Pepsi from a plastic bag.   


Can you see families of 5 on one motorbike. 


Can an elephant come up to you during your dinner. 


Can you have a conversation with the gecko in your room and not find it disturbing. 


Can you spend at least 5-6 hours per weekend on a mini-van. 


Only in Thailand...


Is paying more than $1 for amazing Pad Thai ludicrous. 



Is it normal to whip out a 'talking dick' in a bar, class, the store...wherever. A talking dictionary, that is. 


Is it okay to pull a bug (or 6) out of your food or drink and continue eating.  


Is it considered a bad day if no strangers call you beautiful or ask to take your photo.


Is it okay to use the peace sign in every. single. picture. 


Is drinking beer with ice the standard. 


Is it okay to destroy the English language to have a conversation. "Where you go?" "Go Bangkok....tomorrow."

Are you not judged for having an intense dependency on 7-11.  


Are you given a spoon to eat a chicken wing. 


Only in Thailand....


Will you consistently be covered in bug bites. 


Can you get to a tropical island for $20.  


Can you sing karaoke- judgement free. 


Can you see people rocking black skinny jeans, long-sleeves and a full face-mask in obscene heat. 


Can you be granted celebrity status just for being white (and even get more 'I LOVE YOU' shouts from Thai people when in the presence of legit superstars....Jing it.)


But most of all, only in Thailand....


Can you be surrounded by the most genuine and kind people in the world. 


Seriously- I heart everyone. Jub jub!
