if you have been living around here for a while, you certainly find your behaviour, habits and even personality have changed slightly - my questions are simple,
- how has living in Thailand changed you as a person? your priorities, your thinking?
- what is still very farang in your thinking or behaviour?
- what is Thai in you?
- what are the things you wish you could adopt, but you can't?
- what are the things you don't want to adopt, and you are determined to keep your farang ways?


I will think a little more about my own responses

I haven't yet done more than 5 weeks at a stretch in Thailand but for me when I go to rural Isaan I find it very easy to adapt and not too unlike the rural village in Wales I grew up (and still live) in. Apart from the obvious differences between climates and flaura and fauna in many ways I am taken back to a lifestyle I was familiar with 35+ years ago. I guess what is still very farang in my thinking or behaviour is that milk is *not* just for babies.

The only things things I don't want to adopt to, and are determined to keep my farang ways are that money is *not* up for public discussion, it is between my wife and I only (I think she is finally begining to understand this), and alcohol is *not* fun.
