Things you think are normal but actually aren't

After a while in Thailand, I've realised that some things I take for granted are actually quite weird from the European point of view. Here's a few...

• The girl working at Boots, who gives great makeup tips, is actually a guy


• For any given job, you may as well have at least three people doing it instead of one


• People give you really big smiles all the time


• There are traffic jams at random times, even at 3am. It takes half an hour to drive 100m.


• You can go out for a good meal at any time of night.


• ... but you can't drink legally after 2 am.


• There's no prime minister, instead there's a 'caretaker'.
