Mr Meeseeks Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Why did I read this as 'Thailand's longest beachside knifefight'? 😁 Pattaya has ruined me. Thais in my moo baan have been complaining about people flying their kites as they make a sort of low whistling noise. When I first heard it I thought it was someone learning scales on a musical instrument! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
