Salutations.
I am JaiChai.
And if I haven't had the pleasure to make your acquaintance, it's always nice to meet a fellow Steemian.
Warped Memories of Thailand
- You know you are a veteran of Thailand when you talk about food more than the women.
- Sex workers? A girl's got'ta eat, no?
- Hidden within those beautiful smiles are some very sharp teeth.
- Some of the most beautiful women in Thailand are not.
- Grazing all day and manual labor vice pigging out on humongous meals with multiple beers, while watching a dog and pony show can keep you slim? Imagine that?
- The Boys in Brown have better tailors than those in the U.S. Marine Corps.
- Humans can adapt to anything. For example, the first three days in Thailand makes your eyes, mouth and that special appendage painfully ache whenever you see any slim, brown woman. But on the fourth day, you see a slim, brown and pretty woman and you think, "Naa, I can get better..."
- The prevalent religions don't have just an Adam and Eve, but also a third icon that's "in-between"; hence, the notoriety and acceptance of ladyboys.
- If you don't want to get your ass beat, drugged, robbed and wake up with Thai chilli peppers up your ass, never forget that a transgender has the strength, aggression and agility of a young man - whose previous years were probably spent plowing fields, hauling in fishing nets and climbing coconut trees.
- Remember that the P4P (Pay for Play) game is simply a business transaction - nothing more, nothing less. Many bad things happen when this is forgotten!
- Your friend is in big trouble when he says, "...but she's different."
- Thailand loves two-week millionaire tourists, but makes it Hell for ex-pats trying to live there.
- Contrary to popular belief, Thailand is not the panacea for male mid-life crisis.

About the Author
He is a retired U.S. Military veteran. Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic. In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he parachuted out of airplanes and performed diving ops in very deep, open ocean water.
He spends his days on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
