Funny Signs of Thailand

The words and signs in Thailand are unbelievable! Their words, language, and way they translate things is hilarious! At every turn we were struck by something else that struck us funny. Here is just a sampling.

First, let me start off by saying: Hello Phuket!

Wasn't that a good idea?

As you can see here, your children can eat for free for 1/2 price. They even say it 2 different places on the sign, in case you didn't catch it the first time. Maybe free is 1/2 price of.... ahhhh! Brain freeze! This is starting to sound like one of those pesky word problems where you have 2 trains traveling toward each other!

Ooh! This place looks good!

Better wash our hands first! Hey! Take it easy on the hand dryer!

What!? You spilled food on your shirt!? Now we're going to have to do the dang laundry!

Better swing by the "Tiffany's" cart on the street and pick up a peace offering.

Its getting late. We better find a place to stay tonight. No, we don't want to rent a building, just a good hotel room will do.

Oooh! Look, honey! It's the first resort! Sure beats waiting 'til we're down to our last resort!

Our Trip to Thailand

We took a 1 week trip to Phuket (pronounced poo-ket) Thailand. It was quite an adventure. It's an interesting town. There are beaches, snorkeling and SCUBA diving, elephants, rain forest, and the town is full of dentists, optometrists, little vendor shops, and tailors. A man can get 2 suits, 2 ADDITIONAL pairs of pants, 2 shirts, and 2 silk ties custom made for $189 US - TOTAL. There also also what Rob calls he-she's. They have cabaret shows where these guys perform in drag. Some are still guys, some are "in transition", and some "have completed the surgery". Nice! There are also a ton of tourists. I think if the tourists left they would lose at least 95% of their revenue in the town. We concluded the average tourist age was 55, and the beaches and resort pools don't look like California. Almost all of the tourists are fat and terribly out of shape. An no body complexes like in the US. These people all run around letting it all hang out, totally unihibited. In the next few weeks keep checking back as I post new postings showing some of our adventures in Thailand.
