Weho Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I saw two I like: GROSSORY SHOP, (forgot which soi I saw it on); I guess they sell gross things... and LANQUAGES SCHOOL, (bottom of Soi Khao Talo, just above Sukumvit); no comment needed. Disclaimer: ok, so we're making fun of their English speaking abilities... but let's acknowledge that on their worst day, their English isstill 1,000 times better the way many of us speak Thai...

qualtrough Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 On that walking street about 6-7 years ago I saw a big sign outside a bar that read, "Comfartable Couches'. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ercorn Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I dont know if you can read this or not ,hope so.Anyone thats been to China knows Chinglish.When I first started working here I really did read and try and understand what they are talking about.Now I just ignore anything in China wriiten in english as its normally nonsense.They talk Chinglish how they write it as well . My point is that the Thai`s have great english compared to alot of countries I`ve worked in. Though I still have a laugh walking around in BKK sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weho Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Those were all funny! Unfortunately, there are a few humourless people out there, that we'll have to try to explain humour to them. They don't like it when other people have a little laugh... Boo hoo... Would love to read more contributions, especially from right here, where I am, at this moment, in Pattaya, Thailand..

Yes but as an adult i am smart enough that when I want something written in thai i find a native thai speaker to write it for me. I have seen full page ads in magazines with poor spelling and/or poor wording that could have been fixed just by asking a native speaker what he thought of the ad before it went to press. I have corrected signs for people for free. Most thais appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artisan Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Ultimate noodles are one. The noodles of a phantom with the resistance to the teeth of boast of our shop. The exquisite rainy season which repeated trial and error and was completed. Colorful red pepper of Thailand. Domestic careful selection of pork with little fat of female liking is used. It has healthy vegetables with salad feeling fully. Now what else could you ask for? Enjoy your meal!!!
