You Know When You Have Been In Thailand Too Long When:

When that mass of long black hair all over the floor is considered to be a carpet.

That would never happen at my house as my wife has a dust fetish. She dusts and mops the floors every day and cleans the screens once a week.

Never Too Long..

NO, it can't be HH, because he is in his "80s".

You receive your electric bill on (the 21st) Wed. a.m., notice Fri. is a holiday, and you decide to be proactive and pay the bill on Wed afternoon. You drive into town only to be told, "to-ma-low, to-ma-low", pointing to the (very) fine print on the bottom of the bill written in Thai, stating pay between Thurs, 22nd & the 31st.
It appears the computer software will not accept payments of the date of billing, go figure.... To accept my payment to be entered the next a.m., and write me a handwritten receipt, like previously done the many times when the "comp no work", was too much of a challenge, and thus a wasted trip.....
Like many other public offices, public service does not appear to be a priority.

you know you've been in thailand too long when you start spectating inappropriate events

eg. car/motorcyle accidents, sudden illness(saw a huge crowd at a heart attack in MBK in BKK once), police arrests -  anyone in diffculty basically should consider selling tickets

When you dreaming and people speak Thai..
when your speak "Englid lid dis" and the R is gone when you chatting with you falang "fiend"..
when you think is cold today in thailand

when you proud, you save two bath and super happy when you see a one bath one the road and also make the wai..

When you no longer like pattaya

When you think you've finally found a perfectly peaceful, quiet, and enjoyable street to live on and an auto-body shop opens up in the front yard of the person across the street followed by a late-night restaurant built on top of the swamp to the left and a convenience store in the living room of the house to the right.  You go from enjoying a beer in your yard in the late afternoon to rushing your children inside to avoid the chemical-laden auto-body paint blowing in the breeze.  You have to pull off a maneuver worthy of Michael Andretti just to navigate your way through the parked cars in front of your driveway.  You are working on your computer and non-stop sheet metal banging and grinding, loud voices, and un-muffled farm vehicles help form the new baseline decibel level to which your ears and brain are accustomed.

You invest in a new home even further into the countryside only to realize two years later that zoning laws and municipal planning, or even the concept of them, don't exist in Thailand, and shudder to think what this country will look like in 20 years with it's limited space and resources, large population, and lack of planning and bylaw enforcement.  You ignore this thought because, in the end, the positives outweigh the negatives.

When you put your hand over your mouth when you yawn but not when you cough.
