ozzieovaseas Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Definately Mai Pen Rai, If that doesnt work then try valium in bulk!!!.... Seriously though, as other posters have added...have an attitude of gratitude... you only have to remember sh_tty situations and the way people act and treat you in your own country. They say the Thai are obsessed with money,rippoffs ect, but at least they only take you for small change, not like the greedy,ignorant,belligerant,biggoted,racist capitalist Bast_rds at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrenova Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I can't believe some of these replies. Be yourself. Don't go kissing arse, pretending to be Thai or more Thai than the Thais and kow towing to all their potty rules and nonsense. They may not like it but at least you can stand tall and know that you have not had to lower yourself to their level. Don't take that out of context please as even I am flexible but one thing, you must retain pride in yourself and how you do that mai pen rai-ing (and the other crap) all the time when it actually is important is beyond me. Some things don't matter but some do and no amount of nonsense from a westerner or a local is going to change my mind. My daughter has fallen down and is bleeding badly. Can you get an ambulance. Sure, 5 minutes 30 minutes later - where is ambulance Sure, 5 minutes 2 hours later, she is dead. Mai pen rai Utter <deleted>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longstebe Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Wear a helmet at all times.Dont wear flip flops with a kickstart bike.I had only just passed my bike test in the states when the wife and I went "home"(sakon).I had to to use the brothers bike to go somewhere not important and yes you guessed it,it had a kickstart.My foot slipped whilst wearing my flip flops and of course everyone was looking on to see the farang ride this contraption,this almighty golf ball size lump appeared on my shin.I managed to keep my face straight as nobody seen it.As I got down the road I let it all out. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGG. If you ever see some farang with shin guards on, then you know why!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geekfreaklover Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Rent everything. Seconded. Third. From one who did not take that advice. Agreed. Rent property in YOUR name. Not your sweet hearts name. And if you want to move, move two months before the end of the contract, because you hardly ever get your deposit back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prakhonchai nick Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Surviving Isaan is perhaps more relevant. All the women over 20 (those that are left) spend their days in patungs, and along with all the spiritual events; party pees etc are enough to drive one crazy. Every 3 months or so I take off to Pattaya alone (I am lucky as I have a daughter there -nod nod wink wink) and I return a new man after just 2/3 days.
