Krong Thip cigarettes - If you smoke, for God's sake give up before you go to Thailand. Smoking a Krong Thip cigarette is like smoking crushed glass. You can feel your lungs contracting in fear as you inhale. If you listen very carefully, in the still of the night as you sit on your verandah enjoying a quiet smoke before bed, you can actually hear your immune system calling you a bastard.

Mekong Hangover, The - Waking up with a hangover is bad. Waking up with a hangover in a hot country is worse. Waking up in an airless bungalow in Thailand with no water and a mekong whisky hangover is horrible. Mekong whisky is a locally made hootch which is cheap, comes served with 7Up, glasses and a bucket of ice and seems like a good idea at the time.
