Craziest thing you've seen in Thailand

[fish fingers]

I've seen a few nutsy things but the best was going out for sunday lunch in Thong Lor a couple of yrs back and suddenly there's a naked arab guy running up 55 - he looked out of his box.. then he hid between two parked cars.. by this stage a large crowd had gathered and he decided to run into the Bridal Shop. A Hi-So lady was having a dress fitting and suddenly the naked arab appeared in the window and sat on the sofa, cue plenty of screaming and running around

Then the cops appeared, dragged him out and handcuffed him in the back of an open pick up. Kind of felt sorry for him, he's obviously been drugged by a lady (or ladyboy)of the night

Whats yours?

Driving into Nakhon Pathom from the North , all the vehicles started slowing down , hazard lights on and horns blaring .

There was what appeared to be an off duty copper walking in the middle of the road pissed.

He was trying to hit vehicles as they passed and at one point threw his radio at a vehicle.

I'm pleased he didn't have his gun with him.

Years ago I went into a local Family Mart which had a polystyrene cool box in front of the counter. Now usually these contained promotial items such as iced tea cans etc in half melted ice. This one contained those cardboard packaged slices of microwaveable pizzas, garlic bread etc - complete with the half melted ice. The packaging was sodden through. Give me strength.

similar: seen on an island: big big box came with the ice and all kind of food that needs cooling inside. Many not washed fruits. Someone saw meat as well (but I didn't see it myself). They took out the fruits, cleaned them nicely.

The dirty ice and the cleaned fruits went into the cocktails on the evening......

Well that Arab might have drunk too much.....coming from countries with alc ban they underestimate it sometimes.

Anyway he has some good story to tell when he comes back home.....

Lampost 1-2 metres in the rd used to surprise me, bare faced bill padding cheating and lying to save face.

Of course like all of us who have enjoyed the Thai way for two centuries very little can astonish.

The size of the old woman after the third kid.

Had no idea a person could blow up to such a size and still ride a scooter.

Quite incredible engineering.

Speed-freaks on yaa baa sitting on the top of Thapae Gate with a knife to the throat of a young girl or a baby threatening to kill them. I saw this a few times before Thaksin killed so many drug dealers. The drug problem seemed much worse back then.

What is interesting is that what we thought was crazy when we first came here is now everyday. Who bats an eyelid at 4 on a bike with no lights travelling the wrong way down the road? A disco bus with all but a few square inches of windscreen covered in stickers? Welders in flip flops and no eye covering? Being stopped by police for your driving licence whilst scores of thais drive by with no helmets?

Gotta love this place though

This took place about 25 years ago by the moat in Chiang Mai.

It was around midnight ready to cross the road from the moat to visit the Spotlight bar. Then suddenly I saw a pick up with about 6 Hill-tribe people all dressed in their tradition Hill-tribe costumes sitting on the open back of the pick up. They had stacks of ornaments with them and it seemed they were on their way out of town after a day of peddling their wares to the tourists. But to my amazement this was no regular pick up truck, but a Rolls Royce converted into a pick up. I only wish I had a camera with me as it was a sight to behold. And no, I was not drunk.

Never seen anything like that since and from my experience, that was one of the craziest sights I have ever seen in Thailand.

Late afternoon, no rain, no sun, girl all done up riding a scooter holding a huge umbrella pointing infront of her in an attempt to stop the wind from messing up her hair

Only two Arab countries have an alcohol ban, Saudi and Kuwait,but Alcohol is readily available anyway. Bit of a myth that they don't drink

Thaksin certain;y knew how to conduct the war on drugs. i personally think that things have become as bad as they were before, pre-Thaksin.

Agree with you it is a myth they do not drink, but you forgot to mention Iran. Libya, Emirate of Sharjah, and Yemen..

Iran isn't an Arab country, Neither is Lybia, Yemen it's not 100% official, you can get it in bars

Think the No.1 for me is the investigation into the killing of 2 Brit kids on KT...........

I concede your point there, F.B. I have never seen a naked Arab ( thank god!) but seen a few legless ones around Sukhumvit chatting to Ladyboys, that can be amusing to watch.

The craziest thing I saw was Maple Syrup marked down from 390 Bt to 39 Bt.....now that's crazy

Two male dogs with their balls intertwined, stuck together , standing still in the middle of the road.

A female was standing there, presumably wondering how the <deleted> that happened.

[Kaalle]

Two bikes with two Koreans on each bike literally crawling across one of the big highways in Phuket to get in to a side street, with big cement trucks and other on coming traffic whistling by centimeters away. I was in total chock and convinced they where going to get mangled and I was going to get hit with parts of the bikes or parts of the Koreans. I even screamed at them in a panic and they just looked at me like I was the biggest idiot in the world. I have never been to Korea but I wonder how they drive there.

Yeah nothing in the world smells like that, yaa baa in the morning, they were so much slimmer then.

Any alien do anything wrong inTH, it is TH fault!!!!

I am flabbergasted at the thrash TH attracts to itself.

I hope the new people in power will soon start a massive clean up, which would really make Thailand a pleasant country to be in.

I saw a man who danced with his wife.

How do you recognize a naked arab?

DNA test?

[Brit_Doggie]

Last 2 nights had a russian lady and a gentleman twice her age sit at the table next to us very pretty lady until your eyes fix on her low cut dress, then you slowly but surely see the thin shoulder straps fall down omg talk about fried eggs, wheres her bra i ask myself still in the wash. i guess.

Well had i been in walking street or 1 of the disreputable sois i wouldnt have minded but there was my gf looking at the same show so naturally being the hero type i bravely confronted the woman and told her bluntly that i was amongst friends enjoying a social drink and to go flaunt her eggs elsewhere.

Seemed i upset the old fella who was all touchy feely with her as well and he said ok let's go home.

Ok we all know how to make a old man happy but do it in private please.

My wife up a tree with her new chainsaw - that I gave her. Its her favourite toy. Now she has her eye on an old tractor to slash the paddock at the back

My gf trying on high heels for the first time. Ever.

Net fishing in the middle of the road during the floods a few years back sticks out in my mind!
