It's Australia.

Nope still don't get it. Sorry.

Pattaya, going along Soi Bukhaow, this was on the junction with Pattaya Tai. There's no straight on by the way, you HAVE to turn;

Some absolute classic signs you have captured above ... difficult to find find my favourite ...

But this one above I can explain for you ...

Thai drivers have a tendency for poor lane discipline and will create 2 lanes when clearly the road designers only intended for one.

With that in mind this was designed for those on the right of that one lane not to try and turn left.

This however was designed for those on the left of that one lane not to try and turn right.

The last sign allowing the left hand turn is for Farangs who, to much contempt of those Thai drivers behind him/her, has placed the car on the middle of the one lane and indicating to the driver to left turn only.

OH ... my favourite Thai driving indication is when they are driving straight across a major intersection to the other side and not turning right or left ... and put the Hazard indicators on to signal a simultaneous right AND left turn ... translating as driving straight ahead ...

Oh I get It, kinda like Quantum particle Theory...!

I have deleted several pictures & whole posts. There is a line & that is being crossed, please be aware that this a public forum accessible to all age groups.

I am moving this topic to Pub, if it keeps going downhill it will be closed.Please use common sense.

[David48]

Well ... time a rethink me thinks!

Now, because these are all public photos, most are deemed to be acceptable however the profane language does seem to be an issue.

So my suggestions are ...

• One photo, one posting
  
• Thai or Thai related Photos only
  
• Original photos only if you can
  

These are just suggestions, not rules.

Taken in Chiang Mai ...

Would you try it?

[MB1]

Would you try it?

Me personally no though I'm quite sure there are a few on the forums who have, but each to their own.

What's one mans poison is another mans MEAT.

cockadoodledoo any Grace will do.

and at 59p a bargain.

Hi there Jo ... where did you get a photo of the Farm Family.

Mine was taken from their Farm ... (actual photo)

But, as they say, a second hand ride is better then a first class walk!

[BookMan]

This one near Hua Hin... A favourite of mine.

[Kan Win]

I just happened to fall over it on the internet and remembered having seen this thread, haven't really followed it, just thought it was funny. I guess since it has been on display in a UK (?) supermarket there are limits to how offensive it can be..... Oh, and yes since it is noodle soup it could easily be a Thai product. (Not sure if it is)

[Kan Win]

Just think about this sign in Thailand and what does it really mean to all Aussie tourists

To me, Tourists are going to get some Agro

http://en.wikipedia....ki/Agro_(puppet)

The word 'agro' (also spelled 'aggro'^[1]) is Australian English slang for 'aggravation', and may be used as an adjective to describe someone with a bad temperament

I think I pirated it off the Phuket Info forum. A big thread going there on funny signs. Some others I got from engrish.com. Some I took myself.

[David48]

Hi there Jo ... I must admit that I should have looked at the other Forums before starting this one up.

I presumed (how presumptive of me) that it would have been started in the General or Pub Forums.

Again ... to all the contributors ... thanks for posting and remember, unless this thread gets locked

for Bad Behaviour (and that's not the intent) so ...

when you see something new and funny in Thailand, take a photo and post it here!

[Kan Win]

Kan some one explain this sigh to me as it is on a straight road

Drunks ahead ? or

Slippery when wet.

What ever you do, don't Google image search "slippery when wet" without safe search on. Some weird shit gets returned. Must be because of the Bon Jovi title.

Hi Joe,

Thank you for your reply.

However in Thailand this is the sigh for that as I have photo-ed it before

If you look there is a bend in the road, but my photo above had no bend in it, hence my question.

Any other clues? Folks

Signs in Thailand are not standardized. The bend is irrelevant. The picture is of a car sliding left and right on a straight road.

Sign says "ฝนตก ถนนลื่น" which is literally "rain road slippery"

Your second pic says the same thing at the top, then "please be careful".

What do I win Win?
