Am speaking Thai till my head hurts, non stop gabbing, talk talk talk! I feel at times like my head is going to explode, I talk so much my voice starts hurting. I can see that I would eventually become fluent if I stayed here and I can feel the Thai is improving, the conversations, the jokes, the questions are becoming more involved. I ask for help constantly, and am not shy about it. Today I went into a shop looking to buy chargers that were stolen in my baggage (no luck). In years past I would been scared to do this in Thai and would have asked a Thai friend to ask for me but now I just blurt everything out myself.
