    Pregnant Woman

    I thought it only happens with cats!But you are right it is very weird, it deserved a web search for more information. What is even more interesting is what the woman is going to tell to both fathers. hahahahaha

    Thai Movies

    "Queen Suriyothai"This is another movie you should see if you want to know more about Thai culture. It describe the fight between Thailand and Burma when Thailand was known as Siam. One interesting fact about Thailand is that it has been the only southeast Asian country to never been colonized by another country.

    Pattaya Island

    You can´t miss "walking street if you go to Pattaya. It´s a weird but exciting blend of exotic bars and girls, with many people welcoming you and friendly faces.Nice prices if you want to eat delicious sea food.
  4. Something else that came to my mind was the way they also talk. For those who have been in Thailand, you may have heard that there is a certain way for you to finish a sentence if you are a man, and there´s another way to do it if you are a woman. If you are a man you finish your sentence with the word "krap" and if you are a woman you do it by saying "kha" this is just a polite way to talk for them, and this suffixes doesn't mean anything at all at the end fo a sentence (if I'm wrong, please let me know) if they are saying alone, they just mean "yes" yes, there's a way to say yes for a man, and another for a woman. But how about if you are a kotey, I wondered once! and the answer came from another friend of mine who is gay, he said, thay just say "ha" sawad dee krap for men sawad dee Kha for women and sawad dee ha for them! isn't this quite interesting??
  5. I may have another explanation on why there are so many Katoey in Thailand. I once heard from a Thai friend of mine, that many years ago, even still now, women were the ones who kept the budget at home, and that it was usual that the Thai men always give part if not all his paycheck to his wife. It was this way because men always tent to spend money in alcohol and girls, but women are more careful in spending the money in a better way, thinking in spending money in things that are really necessary as food and bills. So all the time a woman got pregnant, she was wishing it was a baby girl, and if not, this baby boy was taught to be a girl, in order to teach "her" to save money and use it on useful stuff. what do you think about this theory?
  6. Thailand is a place once you see it and experience it, you will love it for ever, you'll never want to leave it, and if you leave it as I did, you will want to go back there. Now I'm 30, when I got there I was 21, now I´m back in my home country, but I think this is no anymore my home country...I think is back there in Bangkok! Doesn't this tell you enough of how amazing Thailand is?
  7. I was living and studying in Thailand for almost 7 years, and besides being a student, I was teaching Spanish in some small language´s institutes. Back then-I'm talking about 3 years ago- they were paying me 600 Baht per hour. It was a part time job, but it was really helpful for me as a student. I remember seeing plenty of foreigners working as teacher, but is was in the private sector, and you didn't need to have a teaching background, only be a native speaker of the language you were going to teach. I don't know how it is right now, but I'm pretty sure you can get some job teaching there.
