I'm in a hotel in Mae Sai and I've just been joined by a big rat. I've got to say as rats go it's quite attractive, nicely groomed hair, hansum face, and a distinguished long tail. Shall I take it out dinner? Or shall I call the kitchen and have it for dinner?

Up to you.

Don't touch it or you may be hit with a joiner's fee ...

A joiner's fee? That's a new one on me.....

It's just went behind the fridge, I think it's away to get it's pals.

I am hearing wedding bells!

Some time ago, rats have eaten my expensive shoes during night. They didn't try my feet.

So be warned...

When walking back to the hotel in Nha Trang I was introduced to a game called "throw rocks at the rats". I never really got into that game..

Perhaps you should consider leaving his room.

Has it asked for money yet?

It is probably hungry. Buy it a tasty muffin. Rats love muffins

Trap it, nail it to the floor and have your way with it while making rat noises and singing "Good Vibrations".

Wear a rubber though as you don't wanna catch the plague.

Take me to lunch, cheese and crackers are my favorite.

Watch what he eats

It happened to me once.Open window or the door and let him go - otherwise he will make nest in your room.

Once in India I had same experience in hotel - I complained to reception;during my complaining same rat appeared on stairs,

just in front of us - big like cat!Receptionist smiled and said - Oh!do not worry!I know him,it is very good rat!

Those sticky traps work well is a boy or a gal rat? you don't want people to start talking

We'll assume in this case that there's nothing worth your time on TV. (Either one ;-)

Airsoft replica armalite rifle, Glock, w/clip-on flashlight, coupla thousand plastic BB's, body bags, latex gloves.

One of your better single malts, glasses (Swarovski old fashioned crystal cut) or CC, ice bucket, preferred mixes.

Introduce Mercedes girl or a reasonable facsimile thereof to a LOSO version of the fox hunt: shooting rats at the dump.

Strange you mention that, every market stall outside my hotel is selling BB guns. There could be hours of entertainment coming up.

Anyway, when I saw the rat reappear and do the Fandango on top of the TV I decided that I better move rooms. They don't bother me but I don't want one running across my face at night. Off to reception I did go........and I had about 30 attempts at saying ngu ( rat I think ) before I gave up and drew the effin thing.

" Ah ngu " said the three people behind the reception

" That's what I said "

" No, you say noo "

" I did not "

" You did "

blah blah.......

" You want new room? "

" Either that or Rentokil "

" Huh? "

" Eff it, just give me a new room ".......

Off to new room I did go.......every time I heard a sound my mind started racing.......a brief interlude for a before picture........this was Mae Sai yesterday evening.

This was it after a thunderstorm during the night. Just my luck when I've got rats on the brain there's thunderflashes every other minute.

This morning......

Oh well, I think it's time for the annual flood warning thread.

Anyway this morning my wi-fi was down, so I mentioned to reception on the way out to Tachilek. Came back and still down, so that's me irritated. So then I mentioned the rat.....Head Receptionist replied......

" Oh yes, we have many problem with rat, many rooms have ".

" I asked you if the rooms were clean when I checked in "

" Yes I remember, rooms are clean, you can see "

" How about the rats? "

" You not ask about rat so I not say "

Thai logic eh?

Don't touch it or you may be hit with a joiner's fee ...

pay barfine first

555 = hahaha = LOL

Just think yourself lucky you were not in Lopburi....you would have it added to the bill:

Room service Breakfast.....Fresh Rat 200 baht

If you said noo you would be right but you said ngu. You would be better having a noo than a ngu.

If you said noo you would be right but you said ngu. You would be better having a noo than a ngu.

If he got himself a ngu it might solve the noo problem.

Noo is the Mr rat, gnu shud be Dr Snakey.

Now, which one is it?

Rats are beautiful affectionate animals, it is only the ones who are born in the sewers who grow up dirty. They really are clean animals by nature.

I was walking down Beach Road right across from Mikes Mall, and one landed on my foot, I think it jumped off the wall. I wasn't wearing socks only open toed sandals.

A rat is a rat is a rat. Don't be taken in by his good looks and charm. Once pressure is applied, he'll squeal on you just to save his little rat skin. Tell him nothing!

Loose lips didn’t never hurt no one…
