Greg and Ed have each been in Thailand for more than 15
years, and along the way have done a lot of things right - but
also a lot of things wrong. So in the spirit of the almighty
do-over, they each thought of three pieces of advice they would
give to their early Thailand selves. First of all, the boys skip
the obvious piece of advice - learn Thai - which should be #1 on
the list of everyone planning to spend more than 6 month
here.


From there they get into the nitty-gritty - from dating
advice to how to avoid stressing out over Thai politics, to
leaving Bangkok in the rearview, to making a point to visit some
of its lesser-known cultural resources, Greg and Ed think of a
few important points that would have made their early Thailand
experience not so much better, but
possibly richer and more rewarding.


And in this week's Love, Loathe, or Leave, Greg asks Ed his
thoughts on the weak, bendy, nearly useless forks and spoons at
Thai food courts (and, most frustratingly, in Greg's kitchen).
It's safe to say neither loves them, but listen in for some
musings on why, exactly, Thais put up with such lame
cutlery.
