What is the origin and meaning of the term gone bamboo?

0

“Gone Bamboo” is the slang term to describe day trippers, travelers, and expats who have decided not to return to their lives and homes, but to go native in the tropical locale they are in.

Apparently the phrase “gone bamboo” came about when western men, many of them in the military, discovered places like Thailand and eventually ended up never coming back home. It refers to living an idyllic, tequila-drenched life in a naturally bamboo growing region.
