All are growers of rice (almost). When you do not grow rice you may sneak around and do some small things. Checking the neighbors, visit family. When I come down to my girl friends village the entire village committed to indulge me. After a few days, you feel lazy and you start to check what everybody else does. Even if no one speaks English iam going with the people and watching what they do. After having sat in a hammock in 3-4 days usually I do not have anything against going out in the jungle and become a piece of small creep as long as I do not just sit and wait out the time until I have to go home to Sweden. If you spend about 2-3 weeks in the Thai countryside, then it is in them daily chores. Even if you might as a pampered swedish find it a little uncomfortable to trudge around in ricefield in the end, nice to be a part of the village. Although all laugh at you, and think we are stupid we have at least made some people more happy. They come to remember you as a guy who helped them with there work and not as a fat tourist who eat and drink all the time, if it is something you need in thailand, it is friends. One must evaluate the friendship with people although it can not communicate verbally. Since it is so tied to the girl friend will translate from English-Swedish to Thai so you will be forced to learn Thai. And as soon as you speak the same language as everyone else so you are suddenly not just a guest, you can begin to feel involved in the everyday. One can spend time on the Thai conditions. It is different and I could call it affinity. Something that is rare in Sweden.
