If you live in Thailand long enough, you'll know you've become 'Thai' when you are comfortable riding a motorbike sidesaddle. What that means is, getting on the bike of the motorbike, behind the driver, with both of your legs on one side of the bike facing to the left, and your back facing to the right.
To bystanders, this can look precarious, but to generations of Thai women, it's pretty normal.
I know I've now become Thai as I can ride sidesaddle on the back of a motorbike holding 2 bags, 3 packages and on my cell phone. No hands!
