bobbyboy112003 Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 Hello people, For those of you who have been to Thailand or are there now or what not, could you tell us what things you had to get use to? What differences did you find between your native country and Thaikand? Thanks. bobby na ja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ling_dtua_khaao Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 hmmmmmmmmm................................ I can't honestly think of a single major difference between living in Thailand and living in Canada.... --Ling P.S. Oh wait! I can remember one thing! I love walking. Canada has a lot of space for walking, and our cities are all friendly to pedestrians. I walk a lot in Toronto. BKK is not a walking city to say it mildly. I used to try anyway, I used to walk all over the place. I even walked once from deep in Sukhumwit soi 39 to the Grand Palace, and the first time I ever arrived in BKK, 18 years old, still recovering from a particularly evil hangover in HK, heavy backpack, with only enough money left to get a 60B minibus from the airport to the Asia Hotel on Phayathai north of Siam Square, I walked from there to soi 39 in the middle of a humid July day LOL... a great introduction to BKK! (Fortunately for me the place I was walking to was my dad's apartment, and he was coming back to BKK the next day from a business trip.) And I've never once fallen down a hole in the pavement! I had to give up walking so much in BKK because I started to develop emphysema from the BKK air (emphysema = lung disease usually caused by heavy smoking). (I'm joking of course, but it's scary that I thought it was even remotely necessary to *say* that I'm joking.) Now I'm spoiled by the BTS and frequent use of a car when I'm in the Land of Smiles... oh for the good old days when all the non-aircon buses were at most 2.5B and no one used cellphones! I still enjoy taking BKK buses of all shapes and sizes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyboy112003 Posted October 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Hi Ling, wow, i would have thought that maybe the water, humidity, bugs, communication etc..., would have maybe been different! Well, if i ever get there, i'll wear a resperator! Thanks. bobby na ja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
