English in thailand
There are a lot of funny signs all over the place, but they’re not as funny any more. Â Some are:
- Cigarette on sell
- No Photo & V.D.O (quite common!)
- Porn Gems (to my dismay it was only a jeweler)
I’ll try to keep updating this as I remember or see more… As the tailors over here… Ohh My Gawd.. Every 4th shop is one, and they all have someone of the indian persuasing standing out the front trying to get you to go in side!
In Patong they’re particular bad putting out their hand to shake hand as you walk past.. A lot even putting on a bad over emphasised Aussie accents with phrases like “G’Day Mate, Howz it goin’ “… Other use compliments “Hey sexy boy you want a suit?”.. off putting to say the least.. they girls have had a couple of funny ones too.. One thats stuck with us is “You have beautiful eye” (yes only one… apparent the other appearred a bit mutated?)
Elsewhere they just strike up conversation with how long you here, where you from, where you stay… blah blah…
