phuketsub Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 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.

AyG Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyG Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 ^Haha nice one 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:) Edited August 17, 2014 by GotR1GHT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
