foreign
so guys the first time I visited Thailand was back in 2012. it was shocking to me starting
from the airport the heat the weather the food the mood the culture the hustle and
bustle and never sleeping City Bangkok it was too noisy too crowded and I said
to myself what the hell I'm doing here and now it's been 10 years I'm living in Thailand so
what are the things that changing me and made me love here let's talk about them
in 2012 when I came here first as a tourist Frankly Speaking it was kind of shocking to
me the weather the food the busy life of this big city the traffic the culture and much much more I
was thinking that it will be my first and last trip to Thailand and here it is guys we are now
in 2022 a decade over that first trip so what are the things change my mind and make me live here
foreign
well the first thing was the weather I have to adjust myself to do weather in
Thailand the heat humidity the rainy season there are lots of things that
might surprise you once you arrive to Thailand and one of them is the weather
the weather the first thing that will hit you from the time you land and enter the
airport the Heat and the humidity that will blow on your face before even going
out from the airport yes guys the weather in Thailand will be your first Challenge and
I am not talking only about the hot and humid weather I'm talking about the Four Seasons that
sometimes you can experience in the same day especially in the rainy season so by living in
Thailand I have learned a lot how to adopt to the weather in the high and low season
my schedule my work my life changes according to the weather in Thailand
so no matter what the season is I started to get used to it and apparently love it even
the rainy season I have learned a lot from the locals to enjoy every season and now I enjoy
the rain as much as the sun and I am sure once you are in Thailand you will do that
well the food was also one of the important issues that I have to adjust myself while
living in Thailand and especially guys because Thai food is not one of my favorite foods foreign
was a big challenge to me I'm a picky person especially when it comes to my
daily meals I cannot eat anything and drink everything and moreover Thai food is not my
favorite type of food yes I live in Thailand that's a fact so it was hard on me to decide
what to eat or where to eat every single day till life in Thailand taught me this foreign
try everything and enjoy every flavor going out with the locals helped me a lot in Thailand in
everything not only in the food challenge so I started to go out for dinner's lunch
even for early breakfast get excited with the locals and try new things and one day
I realized that the food challenge was just an illusion I eat Thai food a lot now and try new
types of drinks places challenges now I don't go extreme and consider myself Thai but I am happy
with what I have accomplished till now and I know that I can eat better by time so guys
living in Thailand will give you an extra taste an extra dish and extra flavor to try foreign
well I've adjusted myself to the weather and of course starting to eat Thai food
but now there was another issue and that is the culture let's talk about it
first it was hard or let's say strange to me to see and expect the differences I am not going to
talk in details but let's say the style the dress the colors the genders the traditions
and much much more I have started to get used to them day after day and when I started to
interact I knew that it was a beautiful thing to see the differences accept them respect them
and that was one of the good things Thailand changed in me not to care if you are a girl
a boy a lady boy or whatever you like to call it what matter is your kindness and
Humanity other than that nothing else matter so that's a big thing Thailand change in me
foreign
of the biggest things that changed in my life
and that is getting used to live in a city like Bangkok
so guys as I said from the beginning that I didn't like it especially Bangkok the
capital city from the first time the busy and hectic life in the city shocked me the
traffic the crowds this city is loud and noisy every day every time and if you are
not used to live in big cities then it will be a big challenge for you foreign
now in just one year I have got used to it and now you won't believe if I say I cannot live
in a complex in a lazy city I love the action here I feel alive when I see and hear all these
things every day it's part of my life and they complete my day and now it's so normal to me
foreign
guys of course living in Thailand will change many things in you and some of
them are so positive like managing your own business and living a peaceful life
living in Talent means managing your business and staying low profile you don't have to be loud or
bold do your own duties and respect others life it starts from your accommodation into your work
into shopping in the train and everywhere you go you will see the locals are busy with their phones
with their lives and not concerned in your dress shoes or work so you should do the same foreign
people smile great and help but they don't interfere into your personal life so even in my
own condo where 100 families live I barely know what they do or think I may say hi and bye and
that's the end of the conversation small circle of friends and low profile it always works foreign
well if one of the positive things was managing my business and living a peaceful life the second
positive thing was to smile all the time and perform good manners whatever my mood is
you are in Thailand and this is the land of smiles and once you start living here
you will feel the difference the hospitality of the people the kindness and their smile on
their face will change a lot in you I see and experience this every day while I'm walking
on streets in the train in the market local people love to smile and greet you foreign
you will do the same you will act the same way the Sawadee crab world will be with you all the
time your hands will greet everyone thank everyone even if you don't know them or maybe you are not
in the mood this is Thailand it will change you and make you smile and greet and enjoy thank you
well one of the things that Thailand also changing me is to get used to live in a
condo which is minitini and mini tiny condo yes now I live in a condo which is only 27 meters
square while I was living in a house which was 180 meters square let's talk about this
if you want to live in the capital city and if you don't want to spend a fortune on your
accommodation then you have to live in a small condo near the public transportation as I do
not that was a big challenge for me I used to live in a house with four rooms and three balconies my
kitchen was at the size of the condo that I live now but Thailand taught me to save spaces it was
hard at the first years but now I feel comfortable and cozy in my teeny mini condom foreign
there is not such a thing like weekdays or weekend final life is every day even
if you work 10 hours a day locals enjoy and go out daily they don't wait weekends to
do their fun things you will see daily in the night markets in the local food
courts and in the bars and restaurants people hanging out drinking eating and
having fun and sometimes you may think it's weekend every day so now I don't plan my fun
days to be on weekend I do it whenever I feel free that's a big change in my life
so my friends I hope you enjoyed this Vlog and had an idea about some of the things that changing me
and made me love and live in Thailand and I'm sure why you live here these things will change
in you so thank you for watching stay tuned And subscribe for more from live love Thailand foreign
