...the alphabet of which has been carefully analysed, finding that the creator must have been under the influence of opium.

...drink/food/medicine [add any one of choice] actually contains speed/ganja/formaldehyde/little dancing gnomes and is therefore not available in the "developed world".

...Thai people have tones instead of grammar.

...it is impossible to learn the Thai language if one cannot sing well...

...the Thai language comes from Hindi...

...the Thai language is Indo-European...

...สวัสดี is a loan from French ca va...

...the Thai flag is actually made up of two Dutch flags placed on top of each other, because at one particular historical event they had no flag and thus borrowed and sewed together two Dutch flags in order not to loose face.

...The Thais are in fact Chinese...

...the Thais are in fact Indian...

...the Chinese have a secret plot to take over Thailand...

...feel free to add your own.

Thai monks speak Bali

...The Thais are in fact Chinese...

The original Tai people actually did come from China....I believe.

All bargirls have AIDS - as I was told by a guy from Singapore...

-if a thai person recommends a bar/restaurant - must be getting paid for you to visit the place. (heard that so many times its annoying)

If you come to Thailand it's only for one reason,____. Fill in the blanks. :-)

Thai males hate everything so much that whenever they speak about something they have to add that its crap.

Taxi's with the meter off indicate your getting the super discount fare,

The depth of most conversation will never exceed:

Where you from,

What your name,

How long Holiday,

What hotel you stay,

Unless a tip in placed directly in the hand of the server,

they will never receive the tip left at the table,

It will rain everyday during the rainy season,

All Thai men have little willies
