I was in the chemist here in Nathon, Koh Samui getting some antibiotics the other day. Whilst I was waiting for the lady to make up my prescription a leaflet grabbed my attention. There was a very nice pair of legs in some white lace top stockings with a matching pair of knickers halfway down the legs. Being curious I picked one up to see what it was about, as you do. It turns out it was selling " intimate tightening serum " I had to laugh. Ive seen a lot of dubious claims for things here but this takes it for me. The lady told me it sells well

Not necessarily odd things you can buy here but there's a shop near mine that I swear sells everything. It's not a particularly big place either. About the size of a small 7-11 but chock a block with stuff.

Over the years they've sold me.

A bow for my daughter's school uniform.

A battery for my car alarm remote. (even the main dealer didn't have one)

A Hello Kitty alarm clock for my daughter.

A computer screen duster.

A small fake Xmas tree with lights.

A pick axe.

An imported German equivalent of WD-40 that is ace stuff.

Blank DVD discs

Thai massage oil.

A car road fund license holder.

I swear if I went there and said "I need a blue Dodo wearing a jaunty sailor's cap riding a unicycle, playing a ukulele and singing " Are You Experienced?" by Jimi Hendrix in an Icelandic accent they'd ask "Large or small?"

Just another of the many reasons I love the place The house I had in Chumphon was great. I really didn't have to leave my garden as every day there would be every type of mobile vendor passing from ice cream to crabs Again only in LOS

Thanks for putting smile on my face today. I know just what you mean and it's another reason why I love this country. There are little laughs everywhere you look... if you open your eyes enough to see them.
