he likes it.... that's the important thing

Will his future employer?

Do you realize he can never see it ?

I wonder what the Tattoo would have said if he had stayed a bit longer and tried to buy land or just have a normal life in Thailand?

Dumbass! Love affairs never last as long as a tattoo. Maybe sucking up to Thai people will get him some points except they will only see it when he turns to leave. He should have gotten it on his forehead so all Thai people will know he loves Thailand when they see him coming. Also, employers love to hire people with neck tattoos. Dumbass!

while i think the tattoo is ridiculous, i think the highlighted statement equally so.

we don't all aspire to the life of a salaryman, some of us actually do make our own opportunities

I tried to make my own opportunities, but the Thais wouldn't let me play dice with them. So then I made some inquiries about working in one of the boiler rooms, and no one would give me any leads. Next, I considered being a time share tout, but, I couldn't get anyone to team up with me because they said the only thing worse than driving around with a fat girl on a scooter was driving with a fat guy on the back. Despite my protests that I was pleasingly plump, no one would listen. Next I considered being a DJj for some of those electro jungle parties the kids attend, but the eurotrash organizer said, he didn't think the kids would be interested in my collection of music. Too 80ish whatever that meant.

Next I thought I'd try my hand at teaching English, as I had more than enough diplomas, but the cads at the school said I was overqualified and far too intelligible when I spoke English. Besides they couldn't meet my salary request. I then thought I'd give a shot at being a F&B expert at some of the hotels. Back when I stayed at the Centara in Karon, I remembered it had an Australian cook that did the breakfasts, and if he could make runny eggs and burn everything, I couldn't do any worse. No was the answer. Then I tried the Hilton. The german guy there walks around wearing a big chef hat yelling at the staff. Heck, I could do that with my eyes closed. However, I couldn't get anyone interested in my original recipe cooking. I guess making a pepper sauce without turning it into a corn starch paste was just too extravagant.

My luck was running out, so I thought, ok, I could be a charlatan or a bounder as some parts of Thailand could always use another. Unfortunately, try as I did, I just couldn't con the tourists. The buggers insisted on nattering in Chinese or Russian. It is very hard to con folks if they don't understand you. The women I tried to befriend looked at me in disgust and had the temerity to criticize my wardrobe. There was absolutely nothing wrong with my shirts. I've had some since university and they are still ok, despite the frayed cuffs and collars. If it's dark, you really can't se it.

My friend suggested I should apply to work as a cultural performer as many continental Europeans have fetishes. The bar owners turned me down. Too old they said and the scruff on my chest wouldn't work with the foreign visitors they serviced as they wanted hairless males that looked young. Egads, what was I to do? I was getting desperate. . No worries said my best friend. I could come and collect bits and pieces of dead people for his studies. there's always a place for a scavenger. However, he warned me that I wasn't allowed to keep any gold teeth I pulled from people. Those were the property of the morgue folks and if they caught me, I'd be sent packing. What was the point then?

I asked my best friend if he could find a job for me assisting him down south when he defuses the IEDs and bombs. He was rather rude, when he said no saying he had enough stress dealing with that stuff without worrying about whether I would set something off. Anyways, to cut to the chase, he spoke to my father last time he called to check on me, and there is a chance that I can get one of those disability pensions so many foreigners seem to be on if they are not on the other government pensions. MY friend and my father both agreed that I was not mentally sound and would surely qualify for one of those allowances. So, I'm going to do the paperwork just as soon as I can figure out the forms, and then I'll be off to pattaya and maybe I'll get me one of those neck tattoos just like the guy in the picture.

If any TVFers are up for a day of balloon chasing and nursing a beer all afternoon, please let me know. I'll put on my best singlet (the one without the big stain) put on my sort of clean shorts ( think I washed them last month after I had the leaky bowels) and off we'll go. PM me for action, ok.

It would finish just above his bum.

A male version of a tramp stamp . . . ?

We were in Krabi last week for five days as my in-laws flew in and asked us to join them. Krabi is usually a pleasant place to relax, very different from shi!holes like Phuket and Pattaya etc . . . 20 and 40 baht tuk tuk rides, no hassling etc . . .

We were in a private van taking us to a boat to head on out to the fur islands tour - the driver was driving like a madman and there was an old man (tourist) sitting in the passenger seat . . . so the driver had to slam on the brakes as he was driving too fast and almost ploughed into another car. The old man nearly cracked his head on the windscreen.

I asked him to please drive more slowly and carefully, a did other passengers . . . his response?

"I the driver, I know what I do. You shut up." . . . as he was playing with his numerous amulets . . .

Well, he really copped it from everyone, the fat git, but kept ragging on until we reached our destination . . . luckily there were two lawyers on the bus - my dear Mrs and another lady from Bangkok . . . company being reported and the driver will get his comeuppance. Both sharks will follow up

Ah yes, Thai friendliness . . . shame this nasty attitude has reached even the more pleasant corners of the Kingdom.

Hmm, should I get a tattoo outlining my feelings?

Up to youuuuuuuuu

Another point scored in the vain attempt to ingratiate himself with the locals and at the same time inpress his empty headed friends who will think this is cool.

Neck tattoos might even become compulsory for long staying foreigners; a small barcode could easily be scanned at the airport and at immigration. Handy during clampdowns and purges too. Perhaps they could start off with having us wear an armband for easier identification while we are in country.

Please don't give the powers that be any new ideas to implement.

that would fill up your whole back ,, better write chock dee khaap on your middle finger

He's from Norway, that's why it's tattooed on the back of his neck.

If he was British it would be Tattooed on his forehead!

(BTW I'm British)

stupid story

I wonder if the tattooist was Thai?

Because he has put a "mai dtrii" tone mark on top of the "m" of "meuang" instead of the vowel "sara eugh".

And "meuang" is often used for "city", so "prathet" would have been better.

Apart from that, nice job.

The only thing getting a tattoo proves is mental immaturity.

And the tattoo has a spelling mistake ....... 'muang' has the wrong vowel.

Dunno, i can't really tell from the picture his ducks ass is obscuring it ื or ึ.......hmmm

Its not mai dtrii, its one of the eeuuu vowels its just difficult to make out, and the turn of phrase is quite acceptable with either meuang or prathet.

The real point is that its a dopey tattoo, next story please.

Oh sure. Growing out a mullet should improve things...lol

Assuming, then asserting that tastes and lifestyle choices are a one-size-fits-all endeavor proves mental immaturity.

You'll be getting a huge neck tattoo then?

stupid story

NO!!!! Stupid bloke...

After stating his request the tattoist bade him sit down, prepared the needles and said...'you might feel a bit of a prick'.........

I hope he is not on a world tour. He will need a neck longer than a Karen hill-tribe woman's if he gets bad service and then makes up for it with a tattoo.

Very pleased to see there were no spelling mistakes on this one.

High collared shirts cost a lot more and will be regulation requirements from now until the end!

What an intellectual chap, he might be nominated for a Nobel prize either for love or lack of brains.

i also know a guy he has a buddah tat on his arm and says in thai i love thailand only he knows it says that because the guy who put it there says so why not put it in english so we in the uk know what it says anyway if you love some where that much why dont you go and stay there the guy with it on his neck is young and stupid but we all done stupid things so be it

Just showed my missus and she says it's a thai anagram for 'What a complete tool'.......... how fitting!!

Dear Jon Vaeng, did your parents in fact wanted children?

Ps; hope the tattoo tools were disinfected / clean at the time, for your sobering sake.

As a friendly Thai whispers in the blokes ear that what it actually says is " I blow winos for fun"

Maybe its translated differently if its on a guy.

On a girl it reads "LOTUS".

Loads of trouble usually serious!

Some times its a price list.

Might have been nicer on his backside, then he could have showed his arse to thailand.

I thought it was Chalerm. Who elso would get that high on ear medicine?

I hate when Thais ask me: do you love Thailand??? and when i answer "No" the always seem confused

At least he doesn;t have to answer that stupid question anymore.

I would almost believe this story, but I have yet to meet a Thai diver that can utter such profound English! LOL
