This is a shot of one sign in Phuket Villa 1, where there are several massage parlors that employ blind people.

This will be my last post as I am going to follow the directive and begin gouging my eyes out.

I challenge anyone to come up with a more poorly-translated sign paid for with taxpayer money.be-blind-003-small.jpg

I don't think the problem was particularly with the translation. I suspect that the original translation was "Beware Blind" and the "ware" part got lost along the way.

That's a good theory and one I hadn't considered.

Budget constraints. Sign guy charged by the letters.

Another image of the same sign at www2.manager.co.th/mwebboard/listComment.aspx?QNumber=257306&Mbrowse=11 [not posted as a link since that's against forum rules].

That image makes it clear that the original read "BRICK", rather than "PRICK". Someone's doctored the sign.

Brick as a poor translation of "falling rocks", yup, that's believable.

I think you're right.Here is the same sign from a different perspective that i've found on google,it's obvious someone had decorated the sign a bit:)

Maybe a plan to reduce the number of Farang in Thailand?
