Loving your travel journal, man. The 3 things you should never forget about Thai people reminds me of a story my anthro professor told us about Tiger Woods visiting Thailand while she was living there. Since Woods is part Thai, this clearly proved the innate superiority of Thai people at golf, and by extension all other sports. His visit was reported like the Beatles reuniting at the Pope and Reagan's double funeral. All the newspapers declared "Tiger Woods is a true Thai!"

Then, of course, he got off the plane and was revealed as yet another gum-chewing American. As he left, the papers reached another consensus: "Well, Tiger Woods is not really Thai." And everyone lived happily ever after.
