What's even worse is that they forgot to put the size...

Very good Steve. I was in Big Kiang yesterday, and pointed out that they sold SANSUNG TVs to my son - it took him 3 looks before he saw the mistake.

A common one on Thai menus is "Crap fried rice " or "Crap curry " They tend to mix up the b,s and the P,s

In an Issan Restaurant, I saw on the menu 'Crispy mouse duk'.

I had to ask and was told it was meant to say fried duck mouth.

I'm not sure which of the two descriptions is worse.

I came across a spelling mistake today.

It said 99bt when, apparently, they meant 125bt.

You want to keep away from them BB, they are worse than those "service" apartments!

At one time, Medsai seafood restarant over in Cha Am had 'Jews ears' on the menu, I never tried them so I haven't a clue what they were.

Hey i make plenty of spelling mistakes but a couple of years back just south of the clock tower heading south was a massive sign " Maditerranean Apartments.
Also a few months back whilst waiting for a night bus at the new bus station this young dude drove in, a souped up mark one Escort in black with Ford Acort writen down the doors diagonal in silver.

Kendo.

I always chuckle at the "Amused shopping experience" poster.


And the large advert for "SEA PRAMS" over the seafood section in a Bangkok Lotus made me think twice!

I always used to have a chuckle when going to play golf at Dolphin Bay. At the turn we used to take to get to the course, there was a sign saying "Brassiere". It was obviously for some form of restaurant and I found it funny that the name had been mixed up with "Brasserie".
Why was a restaurant naming itself after an item of womens' undergarments?
Until someone told me that the local folklore believes that a young woman appeared out of the sea one day and was rescued by local fishermen. She was topless, so to hide her modesty the locals gave her a bra. She is now the "goddess" who protects the fishing fleet and the sailors put bras down on some rocks as an offering.
Hence the restaurant being called "Brassiere" rather than "Brasserie".
A purposeful spelling of the word that for years I had thought was a mistake.
