Listmania: The Greatest Hits...Lost in Tranlsation

Ok, so I am sure you are all getting REALLY sick of hearing about Thailand, but you will have to bear with me through one more post...BUT it isn't about all of the fun things we did, but rather the most hilarious things we saw in Thailand that were a combination of signs lost in translation and one funny little man.

1) Overly literal restaurant names:

2) Overly DESCRIPTIVE Bar Names 

 

  

3) Pringle flavors only true Thai's would enjoy

 

 

4) Japanese candy that entices you with images of hamburgers and naming similar to that of a body part which will later be working to excrete it.

 

5) Interesting use of imagery to substitute for a letter:

 

6) Childish Humor at every turn

 

7) Some spelling errors lead to GROSS errors in interpretation:

 

8) Hidden surprises are never usually a good thing in your meal...but maybe a "Super Surprise" is different.

  

9) Subliminal messaging? Eat Caramel Corn--will have positive life style? Hmm...

10) The Pancake Man--ok..so this isn't a hilarious lost in translation type deal, but I couldn't NOT mention this guy as we went to visit him every night we were in Koh Samui to get his delicious crepes that were $.75. He was hilarious....he had quite the routine/performance that went into every single little crepe. It included extremely precise movements to slather butter, flip the crepes, cut the crepes and present the crepes. I had a video but it didn't turn out very well so this picture will have to suffice:

 

And with that...it's back to your regularly scheduled program....
