I haven't done any of those things.
So by comparison, since you have, that makes you a Thaiophile. :)

That guy in Isaan is famous, I was told about him recently by the Thai director of a Jap company.
I wear yellow shirts on a monday.
Nothing worse than slanty eyed aussies in Oz saying G'day mate.
I did once buy a wristband from 7-Eleven but it was six years ago, around that time when I'd got my first job in Thailand writing for a magazine and considered myself above a backpacker, I'd been there and done that and I'd bought a pair of trousers so I was, somewhat naievely - on the road to fully fledged expatriatism, and would stroll cockily down Kaosan Road like I owned the fucking place - all on the basis that I had been in Thailand longer than the people who had arrived that week, and could order a beer and ask where the bog was in Thai.
if you eat your food with a tablespoon and use a sprayer to clean your bum after a crap are you desparately trying to fit in?
I have a yellow, red, blue shirts, pink seems to be in fashion here lately, as well as green (also own one). Should I not wear them, or throw them away, for fear of being criticized, for trying to fit in. Would be a shame to get rid of perfectly nice shirts, that even when I wear them, I don't look nothing like a Thai or Chinese.
I try to fit in with more subtle ways.
I like to blow snot from my right nostril onto the ground.
I am letting my mole hairs grow free.
I wipe my arse with my finger, but nobody really sees that, so I might stop it.
The bastards . . . if they do then they're not being real, like nawty's example of Chinese-Aussies saying G'Day. If they don't then they should go home . . .Quote:

I don't know if I fit-in or not, never paid any attention to those around me when I'm chopchop-ing :)
Do you prefer sushi or hotdog ?
Burgers or sop buntet?
Sgetti or laksa?
I fit perfectly into thai culture.
I treat everybody 'below' me with contempt.
It's quite a lot of fun, and gets you a lot of respect.

I like the wankers that wear those trendy white Thai style shirts, or the big hippy pants that you tie up. Though not really fitting in coz I never see Thais were this shit and they think it's pretty funny when farangs do.
I used to wear fisherman's pants around the village at times. Light and cool. However, when I first got them, I was not adept at the cross and roll manner of keeping them on and they did drop when I had my hands full of groceries walking home once. Of, course, of all the people in my little jungle area, it was Puyai who saw it happen. That new tidbit flashed through the neighbourhood and I gave everyone a good laugh for several days.
For those who are trying to fit in,
HERE is the "how-to"...:chitown:
