4. This. Is. Thailand (T.I.T). This common phrase among backpackers and expats is used to describe the crazy and bizarre things you’ll see in Thailand. Elephant clogging traffic? This is Thailand. Random swarm of ants on your patio? This is Thailand. A kid wearing a shirt that says ‘F*CK EVERYONE’? This is Thailand. If something happens that just boggles your mind, remind yourself of this useful phrase. Something you must know before visiting Thailand - don’t expect it to be the same as your home country.
