cdnvic Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Judging from some of the posts here the signage at cobra swamp isn't up to par. Let's make a list of suggestions for AOT and forward them to the AOT execs before a disaster happens. Warning: Limos cost more than taxis! For your convenience, please walk toward the cars on arrival, and the planes on departure. Warning: Escalators were never designed for baggage trollys. Notice: This trash compactor is not to be used as a day room. Warning: Lonely Planet gives advice on getting to town cheap, but the limo salesman just sells limo rides. Attention: Please face the urinal when relieving yourself. Warning: Gravity is in effect. For more information please consult our website. What others?

esprit Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 You forgot the other ones. Please open door fully before using Would females please dress appropriately when you are any where other than Nana Plaza, Patpong, Soi Cowboy or perhaps just one "cover-all" - Thailand welcomes those with common sense and decency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soju Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I think they can get by with just one more sign. A huge sign visible to all on arrival at BKK that states "The safety standards in Thailand may not be up to what you are accustomed to. If you lack common sense to determine what is safe and what is unsafe on your own, please immediately return to your home country as Thailand is much too dangerous for you."

srisatch Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Signs a neverending source of fun Just came back from Laos Instructions in Hotel Room included a long list of 'Prohibitions'. Among which were: Smoke in Bed and Keep Quiet Illegal Visitor Shall Not Meet Hotel In Room Best I ever saw was in Phuket..in English! "Visitor Girl shall Management Information come Hotel **** farang"...Truly!! Possibilities at Cobra Swamp not yet explored? Nearly equalled by Message on Hotel pillow in Uttaradit with tastefully presented packet of Condoms. "We wish please your taste" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
