It was terrible, stuck on a bus with almost nonstop Karoke from the local ex friends. We had a stop for food. En route from Ranong to Kanchanaburi. I thought the police were going to resue me at one time. However they were just collecting tee money from the driver. Occupational hazard he sent his assistant to do it. By the time we got off the bus I was a gibbering wreck. Then I got it again coming back home. 30 Thais and not one of them could carry a tune.

Sum num na!

Always be prepared! These babies have saved me countless headaches.

Earplugs - stopping the pain of off key karaoke singers.

Little known "fact" is that Karaoke is actually a contraction of two Japanese words

The first means - People who shouldn't drink

and the second means - People who shouldn't sing

Good joke, I liked it... But just to be pedantic

Karaoke is in fact a combination of two Japanese words

Kara = empty (as in Karate meaning empty hand)

Oke = orchestra

Many things you can't avoid. It's still better than meeting up with an old friend and have to hear "You work as an office girl? Maybe you don't earn up to 300 $ a month".

The martial arts VCDs at 3,000,000 decibels are just as bad, I reckon. After a couple of hours of that, I could feel the will to live slipping away. I was saved by a pretty big bump in the road which totally knackered the player. Everyone else on the bus looked p***ed-off, while I was offering-up a silent prayer.

The "oke" means "head" doesn't it?

A slow painful death by paper cuts would be preferable to hearing a bunch of drunken idiots butcher popular music. Karaoke is the work of the Devil himself.

the worst is when you get dragged to the bar and while trying to numb the pain with alcohol and flirting with the serving girl, your friend comes over with the mic and expects you to sing & dance along to some annoying thai disco tune.
