philliphn Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hoax Property INC Limited. This is a new property company in Pattaya. An article about them appeared in the Pattaya Mail recently. They explain that "Hoax" means "good luck" in Chinese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkGently Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 There is also a bar near Soi Diana in Patters that has a sign out front that states "liqour in the front and poker in the rear" Does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Bear Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 A couple of friends on their first visit to BKK took a taxi from the airport. They informed the driver to take then to a nice hotel. 'You know nice hotel' they asked him? Yes sir , i know. After driving for sometime, they noticed they were heading away from the busy city area so they asked again 'nice hotel - you know'? Sure, sure sir dont wolly, Suddenly the car stopped. Why you stop here they asked? This nice hotel sir! Sure enough it was THE NICE H0TEL in some back water litle soi - god knows where. Only 150 baht per night You know what I like about this post? Its probably true! Soundman. In Port Harcourt (Nigeria) there is "The Sleazy Motel". And it was appropriately named.

Humphrey Bear Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Unfortunately I can only see placemarkers for the pictures on WISteve's posts (#51 and #60). The pictures will not come through, although all other pictures on this thread are fine. Anyone got any ideas please? Same with me - maybe a pop-up blocker or similar? Not to worry - missing a few pix has never been fatal to me yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 In Port Harcourt (Nigeria) there is "The Sleazy Motel". And it was appropriately named. In Newcastle Aussie there's a hotel called "The Ducks Nuts" no BS. Soundman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasasc Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Mr Weho, I'm using my imagination but nothing is appearing in my mind. What does the sign mean? re: "Bakery Music" cd... i used my imagination, and i can't figure out if it's music for the bakers working in the back, or if it's music for the customers out front. It was probably by Bread. How much dough were they asking for it? The most honest sign I've seen was on a shop in Phuket a few years ago - It was called "All You Can Pay" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nidge Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I hope this is big enough to read. If not.... Pop into Tesco Lotus Chaiyaphum for some delicious, Recipe Pork Cock. Not sure if you buy it per kilo or per inch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisurely Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Not Pattya or even Thailand but in Qrum in Oman there are a chain of family owned places called Faiq. So there is Faiq money, watches and jewellery. Always made me laugh anyway. I once asked the owner of the money (currency exchange) if he knew it would be pronounced FAKE and could put people off, his reply 'thanks be to Al'lah it hasn't yet' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weho Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Speaking of spelling mistakes, I was listening to that filthy American "shock jock", I think his name might be Howard Stern??? ... and his staff was playing some joke on some pizza delivery guy, trying to give them over the phone a really long and complicated last name, with like 23 letters... and in the middle, there were even a few numbers... the last name was something like "Sz3thqeifj8bbee47aeiouzk". The faux pizza workers asked the guy if he could just give his first name, and the shock jock person said, "no, you don't want that, it's way too complex... has too many numbers in it." Naturally, hilarity ensued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jopham Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 One from the menu in the restaurant at the old yacht club beach road (gone now - relocated to second road)."Stewed beef with dishcloth" I guess they were hoping we'd do the washing up. That's so dis-jointed I can't work out what it is actually supposed to mean... Soundman. No, and I'm afraid I can't help as I never quite worked up the courage to order it. Couldn't for the life of me imagine why? Soundman. maybe it is meant to be stewed beef with FISHSAUCE but that would not tast the best I would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinthee Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 from engrish.com it's full of this stuff. That website is great.... of course, not as great as thaivisa.com, but almost as good... my favorite there was: "please don't get nervous on a tatami mat", in Nagoya. Another great source for this is the Far Eastern Economic Review, in their Travellers Tales section and for years Nuri Vittachi, based in Hong Kong ran some very humorous commentary too. Though the online site is subscription only, you can still see some of these on their blog here: http://www.feer.com/tales/?cat=4 They also have funny stories from around the region. Their latest one about Thailand was the recent story about Thai hi-so ladies learning how to do erotic dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I can't back this up with a picture (for the millionth time I wish I could). However, in Pattaya in 1997, went out to dinner at a restaurant with mates. The restaurant had one of those menu's with 300 items, each with a photo. Now this particular menu was a plastic laminated photo album with actual photo's of the dish supplied with a description & price. Somebody had removed one photo of a curry & replaced it with a photo of a toilet bowl full of turds. Absolutely Priceless! Soundman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basjke Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Funniest sign I have ever seen is all around these days.It is a white board with a red stop sign on it and some lines in thai written which probably say"stop smoking it's bad for your health".Bottom line is in english and says,we sell cigarettes at this location.
