And I found this one on the 'net. The Thai is correct so I assume it's a real sign somewhere, rather than a photoshop job.

Hard to read but it says "reduce global warming, use less save more" above a toilet paper roll in MBK. How do you use not enough toilet Paper?

'LOOM TO LET'

[Galong]

Quite a while ago there used to be signs all over Phuket Town saying "Keep Wales Tidy". Then the Phuket Gazette made light of them and they were taken down.

In Patong there are street signs saying "Turn Left When Safety"... oh for Christ's sake, there are ten gazillion native English speakers in Patong every day, why not ask someone to proof read stuff?

Cheers, Rick

dear rick, you do not offend, you just don't understand! the thai writing would explain to you that the meaning is 'racks'. just that so many thai tongues (coming from china) can't pronounce the 'r' and speak 'l' instead. one of the most (in)famous examples is: "loom leddy", which in fact is a message from your hotel room maid that your "room is ready". just like some english tongues have a problem with the pronouciation of the thai city and province of 'trang' (ตรัง) which for them is thus spelled 'trung'. some english people drink 'beer chaeng in traeng' do you think this funny?

Jeez.....get a sense of humour.....This is a light hearted review of the more amusing signs in Thailand.....not a lesson in Thai pronunciation....or is this an attempt to show off you have some form of mastery of the Thai language ??...

I think some wag has doctored this sign. The Thai says "beware of falling rocks ahead". The English probably used to read "beware of the brick in front of you" until someone scrubbed out the bottom part of the B. Still funny though !!
