was down on the beachfront yesterday having lunch and saw the funniest menu item:

[baabaabobo]

Wonderful - you can't make this stuff up!

[Singha Gold]

Lol, love it. It reminds me of the crab themed restaurant in Surin called "Poo".

[Tony121]

That's honesty for you

[stevenl]

Well, at least they're honest about the quality of their food.

[ozymandious]

Ha! that's even better then my "Farsh Tuna" I had the other day.

My Meal today was brought to me by the fine people of MAXico

Not Phuket I know but I was intrigued by the menu items in a restaurant in Cambodia that had a whole list of them:

Crap

Deep Fried Crap

Crap Chlli

Sweat and Sour Crap

etc etc

but my favourite was "fish stuffed with crap"

restaurant in beijing

i used to take tour groups up to chiang rai and we were in the night market one evening when my whole group were in hysterics. i asked what they were laughing at and they told me to go down and take a look at a particular stall.

i went down and took a look at the sign and laughed. the lady then asked me "why you laughing? every day farang come, point at my sign, laugh, take photos and walk away. why so funny?"

"well, your sign says 'BIG CRAP'. that means 'big shit' in english."

"arai na? big shit?"

"kii yai" i told her.

well, the reaction was so funny. she told all her friends who laughed their heads off and made a big commotion over it.

ten minutes later i walked past and the sign said "BIG CRP".

just wasnt the same after that.....

HAHAHA! "fresh immerse miscellaneous germ"

[Wellington]

Lol, love it. It reminds me of the crab themed restaurant in Surin called "Poo".

At least "poo" means crab......not crap.

What's cowboy meat? Or, in light of BrokeBack Mountain, do I really not want to know?

[toptuan]

Lol, love it. It reminds me of the crab themed restaurant in Surin called "Poo".

Uh, not really. Crab is "bpoo." A subtle distinction in pronunciation, but the Thai can hear it. "Poo" is a man's nickname.

[dogblower]

Is that where these noodles came from?

[Singha Gold]

I saw a good one today that made me giggle.. At the lakeside restaurant nr the Gibbon sanctury - Smooties. You can have a banana smootie, a pineapple smootie, etc.

In Issan doesn't Poo mean Grandfather...?

There are some good ones on boards outside beauty salons

[Jingjok]

Personally, I like 'Bum Haircuts' in Patong: clearly aimed at all those hairy-ar*ed foreigners...

And what about this tyre repair place I saw in Malaysia? Yup, that's what I might say if I get a puncture in Cameron Highlands

[Ping]

Don't have to go to Asia for the amusing signs - what about those uncomfortable infarts in Germany?

[Jingjok]

Oh yes, Germany. This July my son and I, passing through Baden Baden, chased after this bus in a state of disbelief, to get the picture.

I still can't quite believe it

[Jingjok]

I think this was in Phuket, or maybe Hua Hin - apparently an English School, where one is 'teach to think and bring the outcomes to attribute'.

Quite.

Poo = Thai word for "crab"
