Hi all, I just arrived in thailand on a DTV. Does anyone have any useful tips / tricks to share that you’ve picked up from your own journeys?

Please note I’ve been to Thailand many times as a holiday maker but this will be my first time working here.

For those who have lived in Thailand longer than one year. What is your excuse for not learning the language? I met so many people who have lived here long term and they were proud that they do not know how to speak the language. Where I live in the United States, if you are an immigrant and don't try to learn English, people get mad at you.

not only thailand for those who think grass is greener on other side
