Thailand is:

• putting krab or ka at the end of every sentence. Example Sawat dee krab is hello for a guy, girls use ka.
• HOT! Choose between hot and wet or hot and dry.....
• smiles everywhere. Its just the way they are over here, always smiling.
• the wai. Clasp your hands in prayer at your chest, below your chin or to your forehead and bow. The higher the wai the more respect you pay to the person you are greeting.
• food everywhere. Anything and everything on sale. From snacks to dinner you can get whatever you want, pretty much whenever you want.
• meat on sticks. Its a game to guess what the meat is!
• Rice or noodles with every meal. Usually rice though. Oh and rice based desserts too.
• Everything in a plastic bag - rice, curry, cola all served in a plastic bag as a takeaway. If its a drink you do get a straw.
• Street vendors: Often difficult to tell what they are selling, especially the guys who cook it there and then as all you can see are a jumble of ingredients. "Can i have one of whatever it is you sell?" Response is blank stare.....
• eating at the side of the road. Some vendors will have plastic tables and chairs and you can eat the food hot off the pan.
• dinner for 20 or 30 baht. That's under a euro.
• rarely wearing shoes indoors. Its impolite
• never getting angry. Its impolite and you will lose face.
• bottled water unless you want some exotic disease of the tap water.
• different toilets. Faced with a hole in the ground, no paper and a tap and bowl to one side what would you do?
• fans and AC indoors at all times. See HOT!
• not using the letters L, S, X, OR V. There are no plurals in thai, their l's sound like r's and vise versa and their v's sound like w's. X is just alien to them.
• stressing all of the above letters now that you hear them not being used.
• mosquito repellent. Your new aftershave for night time.
• tuk-tuk - a 3 wheel bike that can seat anything from 1 passenger to x passengers depending on how inventive the driver is feeling. If you get one in Bangkok try not to breathe in.....
• songthaew - a cheap taxi,its basically a covered pick up truck with two benches on the bed.
• pick up trucks. If you dont have a motorcycle then you buy one of these. Why buy a 5 seater car when you can fit at least 10 people and a million bananas on the back of this?
• motorcycle. If you cant afford a pick up you get one of these. helmet optional.
• weaving all over the road while driving. They do indicate though, most of the time.
• spicy - you dont know the meaning of the word till you try some of this stuff. dodge the chillies.
• chillies - on everything and i mean everything.
• hello teacher/ good morning teacher at all times of day followed by giggling.
• eggs all over the place in food especially but can be a dessert also.
• maybe - do we have class today? / will the students show up today? / will they do anything if they do show up?
• mai pen rai - translates roughly as "Ah well....." Applies daily
• blank faces. the regular response to any question in english.
• cheap - pretty much everything is cheap. See dinner for under a euro!
• mosquitos are everywhere after dark and you will get bitten if you arent wearing repellent.
• colours, bright colours everywhere. Pink is the king's colour.
• monarchy. just dont say anything and you may avoid being arrested.
• crap music and lots of it.
• crap tv and lots of it (not that ive seen too much, just from watchign in other people's places).
• random days off or half days. They seem to decide on the spot sometimes.
• not showing up to things on time. Its not unusual to wait for at least a half hour plus. Can range from small to big events as well. See mai pen rai.....
• no dairy - hard to get milk, very hard to get butter and i havent seen cheese yet.
• thai massage - getting brutalised by someone who uses mostley their bony forearms and hands. But still pretty relaxing.
• beer - not great and in the greater scheme of things not all that cheap either. 660ml bottle will usually go for about 100 baht in a bar.
• whiskey - ok and a good kick.
• fruit - often weird. Example: their bananas are small and chewy....
• Buddhist temples or wats all over the place.
• thai language is unique. it has its very own alphabet and there are five tones. This means that while you think you may be asking to buy something you could be insulting that person's mother or something...
• ultimately crazy but good fun!!

I'm sure i will find more stuff to add as the months go on so expect another version! Also i didnt put this in any particular order, just as it came to me so dont try reading too much into the layout.
