Some thai experiences and observations:
Generally asian people aren't very tall - think it's something to do with the heat, they have tiny animals their biggest wild animal is a baby pig whereas cold countries like canada have big animals like polar and grizzly bears.
If you fear you are going to be sick (after eating some food that seemed ok until you saw the kitchen) then you will usually be ok (I think maybe the fear produces chemicals which kill the bacteria).
If you are going to catch the local ferry in bangkok, don't wait for it to stop because it won't! Just jump on
Take your driver's licence whenever you drive - I found out the hard way after getting a $10 fine. Don't worry about change the police have lots of that (credit cards not accepted though!)
Petrol station courtyards can be transformed into romantic outdoor restaurants (bit like drive through dining!)
Peanuts can be deep fried
15 year old girls can be attracted to 60 year old men?
Bangkok is slowly sinking but the people are still happy!
You will be asked if you want to buy a suit or have a massage at least twice a day wherever you are in thailand!
