This isn't really a specific smell, but everyone will know what I mean . . .

That hot/tropical smell that hits you when you first step out of the plane onto the tarmack in Thailand. You have just had the first waft of "Thailand" smell! It's great!

There are plenty of weird smells in Thailand, but none of them bad enough to make me gag. My most memorable smell, though, is from my first visit in 1987 when I stayed at my wife's family's house in a "jungle" section of Bangkok, and the "fresh" water klong was literally 6 feet from the "sewage" klong.

That sewage smell was present 24 hours a day, but funnily enough, you (sort of) get used to it after a while.
