File it under Everything else, Boss: How do y'all deal with jetlag in Thailand? It is 12 hours time difference between the East Coast and Thailand. On average, it takes me two weeks to finally adjust to BKK time after I arrive. A full month to adjust back to EST when I return. I hear people load up on Red Bull energy drinks ( guess that's how it become hugely successful) to adjust. I go there for the Nightlife. Take a siesta from 6 pm to 12 am everynight then wake up and go out and meet the hot femininas from Issan.Then sleep two hours in the early morning.
