thought I'd start a thread to share the humorous experiences you might have had in Thailand as the inevitabe confusion creeps in when two different cultures collide. I'll go first :

1) Seen on a farang owned travel agency : "Tours to Crabby Island"

2) On several menus : "Deep fried with vegetable"

3) My wife's friend loved this Bon Jovi song, "it's my life". She went to a tattoo artist to immortalize her fandom. The tattoo guy swore he spoke english fine. We disagreed when she came back with a tattoo across her back saying "It's my like". Ouch.

and your tales?
