Ever been to Thailand? If the answer is YES you will recognize the 18 hilarious things below.
You know you’ve been to Thailand when…
1. … You learn to appreciate and love the Bum Gun. (I might just install one at home!)
2. … You heard ‘No Hap‘ and ‘Same Same‘ all the time
3. … You were like “wtf is happening” when you were thrown around during your first Thai Massage
4. … You mastered the art of peeing on a squatting toilet without peeing all over your feet and legs
“Okay Ka!”
5. … You say ‘Kaaa‘ at the end of every sentence
6. … You lived on a diet of Pad Thai, Massaman Curry and Fried Rice
7. … Said yes when asked ‘maybe lateeer?’ when you actually always mean no
8. … You found out that a fresh coconut is actually a perfect way to cure a hangover
Tuk Tuk Terror
9. … You feared you might die that one time you got on that Tuk-Tuk in Bangkok
10. … You had a toasted cheese sandwich at the 7 eleven at night
11. … You’ve been to Khao San Road and looked at/tried the fried scorpions, cockroaches and grasshoppers
12. … You wondered why the Thai travel guide has small boobs before realizing he is a ladyboy by night
13. … You made sure you were completely covered with mosquito repellent whenever you went outside at night
Bangkok Belly
14. … You had the worst diarrhea ever. Yup, gotta love the unfamiliar bacteria that fuck up our western weak bowel system!
15. … You got labeled with a sticker when you were traveling by boat and felt like an idiot
16. … You can’t (but still try to) pronounce the name of Bangkok’s biggest airport, Suvarbhanbrahmahmbubu
17. … You make a sport out of bargaining and get excited when it works. You’ve also mastered the ‘walking away technique’. Hell yeah I paid 20 Baht less for that sarong!
18. … You wondered what all those Asians are sniffing and found out it’s some kind of eucalyptus stick. They use it to relieve problems such as headaches and nausea. We even saw a girl at the 7 Eleven who stuck it up her nose and let it stay there!
Agree? Let me know which of these you found the most relatable 🙂

Wow! wow! wow! the best description ever about such a fantastic experience in the crazy Thailand! Congratulations! you wrapped it up! I would add: 26. You went karaoke/dancing/drinking with some Thais and next day you not only have a huge headache but you cannot remember what happened. 27. When you saw an elephant painting you drop your mouth to the floor and said: wow! 28. You told a Thai 1,000 times how your name was pronounce and he/she still pronounced it the same.
