Soon my accustomed standard of living in the US will become my past. One minute I would say I miss Thailand so much and could not wait to go back to my homeland, but the next minute I start to feel stunned and don’t know what it’s going to be like to leave this country. [...]
This is the continuation of What Did My Thai Childhood Look Like by Golf. When I started the university it was a tough situation for my parents because just a couple years later my sister started hers too and both of us needed money at almost the same time. It was a sudden and huge [...]
Another comment from Martyn that I would love to write about because it was a reminder to me about my childhood; both the good and the bad memories… Steve and Golf, I can only go with my first thoughts which remained with me as I read through this post. I’d love to read a bit [...]
As requested in the comments on the post “A Thai Girl in America”, Golf has translated her post to Thai so you can share it with your Thai partners if you wish. แฟนหรือภรรยาคนไทยของคุณ สามารถปรับตัวให้เข้ากับประเทศของคุณได้อย่างไร? ฉันย้ายมาอยู่ประเทศอเมริกาเมื่อเดือนพฤศจิกายนปี 2549 ถึงตอนนี้หลายต่อหลายคนอาจจจะคิดไปว่าฉันนั้นคงคุ้นเคยกับวัฒนธรรม, ผู้คน, อาหารการกิน หรือว่าอะไรก็ตามแต่ในประเทศนี้ไปแล้ว แต่โดยทั้งหมดแล้ว ฉันคิดว่าฉันไม่สามารถปรับตัวได้ และคงไม่อาจปรับตัวได้ทั้งหมด สิ่งที่ฉันจะพูดถึงต่อไปนี้คือ สิ่งที่ฉันได้พยายามที่จะปรับตัวเองให้เข้ากับมัน ฉันรู้ว่าในบางประเทศอาจมีสิ่งที่แตกต่างออกไปจากนี้ แต่ทุกๆที่ ล้วนมีองค์ประกอบที่คล้ายๆ กันอยู่บ้าง ฉันได้แยกมันออกเป็นหัวข้อ ดังต่อไปนี้ ผลกระทบของวัฒนธรรมที่แตกต่างกัน / ความคิดถึงบ้าน – [...]
Last time Steve posted on the subject of “Do you want to know about Thai culture/language/food? Ask A Thai!! I want to start with this comment, which is similar to the post I’m thinking about writing now… As a Farang in Australia with a Thai partner, I would be interested in hearing about how Golf [...]
First, I really need to get myself together because it has been so long since the last post that I have posted on Thailand Musings and I couldn’t remember what it was. The reasons are I have been busy with my regular part time job at the hospital as well as a full time job [...]
In the past my wife Golf has contributed to Thailand Musings with her thoughts on Western culture from a Thai perspective, Thai language posts and Thai recipes. Many of these posts were well received and it has been suggested to me that some of the readers here may want to read more of Golf’s musings. [...]
I want to take a moment today to introduce Golf’s new Thai food blog – Awesome Thai Food. You may have seen some of her recipes posted here on Thailand Musings before and some of them have been very well received. Now that she is off work for the summer we both thought it was [...]
I’ve just started my newest job in the hospital, patient care assistant like 5 weeks now. If you ask me, am I happy with my recent job? Oh yeah …that’s what my answer is going to be, after I worked over a year in the assisted living with the sucky managers and lazy staffs. Same [...]
Now that Golf has been in the U.S. for over one and a half years she wants to share some of her thoughts and observations about life in the U.S. versus life in Thailand. So, this will be the beginning of a series of posts about her thought and feeling since coming to the U.S. [...]
