I'm from India originally. Not Thai, although lots of people here think I am, and start speaking to me in fluent Thai, and I have to stop them! :) What do you do here in Thailand?

Chapter 5 - The Love Auction (dystopian sci-fi romance novel)
Thai is not an easy language, is it? -
I kinda learned 30 words in the first few weeks I was here, and have now increased my vocabulary to a full 50 words.
It's only taken me 8 or 9 years. - I kind of stopped trying, to be honest.
I try do do as little as possible, in fairness. (as in work, I mean)
Over the years I have had a beach resort, dive school ( well, shares ina dive school. I find diving incredibly...well ...boring. - except for when i dived off the barrier reef with 7 reef sharks - that wasn't boring)
I have a restaurant here, and a girly bar to. (down south, in the islands)
So - chilling is my main occupation! - And steemit - I'm loving this. - It really is a great community.
So going with the flow, at the moment, working out which direction I want to head in.
I loved your 'love auction' story btw!
What are you doing here? - do you live full time in Chiang Mai?, or holiday/business?
I have only just started writing, ( non fictional style) -but had very favorable responses. - enough for me to keep going.
My material is all genuine - It's a real life story for me. So the material is there. Its getting my story across, in the right the way - that I am still trying to find.
I am learning .
How Long have you been here?
It makes a change writing posts on here, with the respondent in the same time Zone!

I actually find Thai really really easy to learn. I'm learning a lot and I am going to be fluent I think in six months or close to it. I am a writer, and video course creator and that's what I do here. I loveeee it here. :) I have been here since October 2016. :)

Really? - wow.- What is your first language?- it it tonal also?
(forgotten in the mists of time, however)
The quality of life in Thailand suits me - I keep coming back, no matter where I travel to. (traveling since I was 22 -more than 20 years now.)

My first language is Hindi and it isn't tonal. But for some reason, I really like the musical quality of the Thai language and so I am picking it up really fast.

That's really cool.
I think I must be tone deaf in,Asia, then. Changing time zones.... or something...

the 'time zone' thing just reminded me of something..
I have an extremely good sense of direction/where I am. Instinctively
Uncannily so, in fact.
I have only been south of the equator 2 times, in all my years traveling.
And both times - I couldn't find my way to the corner shop and back!
I had ZERO sense of direction. It has only happened twice in my life, and both times when I went south of the equator. Weird uh?
Logically, the only reason I could think of is inner ear and all that liquid, swirly stuff, going around a different direction - water, plug hole - kind of thing.)
So I'm sticking to my premise of time zones - latitude affects directional ability, and longitude affects linguistic ability!
lolol

Hhaahaha!! That makes sense in a way. I have never experienced it myself. But I could see it being true.
