Love it! I too enjoy a reading-fest while wandering around the city.

I am often surprised at the number of expensive, professionally produced signs/adverts around that have terrible English. I remember one poster that was for a condo development some years ago, it was completely unintelligible, making no sense at all. If you are going to that kind of expense, wouldnt it be prudent to get it proof read by someone before production.

Yes it always makes me smile.

At least they got the INDIAN bit correct.

Thanks both posters for some fun with the signage in Pattaya. Its one of my favorite pastimes. I still enjoy a place off Beach Road that has a checkpoint before the hotel manned by a security guard. The sign says "STOP FOR POINT CHECKING" which seems terribly logical when you come to think about it.

There has been a bit of fuss over a new sign which I believe is at the end of the motorway informing us to turn left for 'Pattaya Kiang'... I was always amused that entering same highway from the Railway Line Bypass Rd you are met with a plethora of large signs telling you the rules and regulations, speed limits etc, yet it comes to a dead end in 200m. But my favourite was the sign at a Soi Honey Inn MP 'Room For Rent, Free Wife'......(WIFI)

It is an insight into Thai Psyche that they will spend good money on a large Thai/English sign and yet make a complete balls-up of the English side of it, errors that a simple dictionary could have prevented. It makes the place such 'fun'.
