Only In Thailand...

[cdnmatt]

... will you be running around a neighborhood at 6am, chasing a run-away chicken, in partnership with you dog who is only more than happy to help the chase. Whew, I'm tired! Those little < snip > are fast. Got 'em though!

Let's see if we can keep this thread going . Finish the sentence:

Only in Thailand...

I use my fly rod to catch chickens. It works pretty well and they come running after that little fluttering thing until they are close enough to grab. I wish I could post the little video I took of it.

But back on topic...

Only in Thailand can a 70 year old fart go riding around on a scooter like a Thai teenager, and make a half dozen traffic violaitons, and then only end up with a 400 baht ticket.. And, if the policeman won't take a bribe, and insists on taking my Canadian driver's license, I can get a 25 year old girl friend to pay the fine and recover the license for me... and she will get the fine reduced to only 200 baht.

What's not to like?

Bargirls use Fly Rods,to catch Old Farts,the baits a bit fishy though.

...will a major supermarket charge 12 baht for a single can of coke, but 300 baht for a pack of 24 cans.

Reminds me of a joke:

"What did the sloshed & tipsy blind man say, when he passed the fish market?

"Well helloooooooooo, ladies!"

No motorbike registration

no insurance

no license =

no fine

Will you see people sleeping on the bus.

Standing up.

Standing up.

This is practiced in Japan and China, as well. It's an Asian thing.

Only in Thailand...

Will the police threaten to deport ME for reporting my girlfriends rape, will the deputy prime minister publicly announce that he doesn't like my race, where if I stop someone from robbing or killing me then I am "the bad man", where the laws are set up to maximise the effectiveness of locals stealing your property and all your money, where almost every single murder of a foreigner is instantly labelled a suicide or a drinking accident before any investigation is done, where embarassing someone can quickly lead to your death.... whew! I'm tired.

All true, and it points at some serious problems within the police hierarchy, and the government above them. It is one of the unpleasant truths that foreigners have to live with if we want to stay in the land of smiles.
