Thai students performed at the annual summer sports day parade dressed up as Nazi. So silly!

Traffic police corporative emotional freedom training. Looks not like sounds.

They are so literal!

I wrote about nazism and Thailand before, here are more examples of this idiocy:

Feel nostalgic for old good right hand traffic? Book a ticket to Chiang Mai, go to Chaing Moi Tud Mai road and enjoy it:

Is it really in St. Petersburg? As I get from where I found this photo, it’s somewhere in Bangkok actually. But for me, who lived in St. Petersburg for 2 years, architecture looks exact as St. Petersburg’s. Your guessings?

We noticed this funny old motorbiker while waiting for the green light. Firstly, his big white case drew my attention, then I noticed a very odd thing: grandpa carried a big bunch of cigarettes, you can see them in a basket and in a packet, but, I think, the big case full of them, too. For whom you carry it, grandpa? Isn’t it too much for you, probably, for grandkids?

Thais like to use various little, funny toys in everyday life. It can be funny key fobs with anime characters, Doraemon or Hello Kitty. Or toys and stickers on cellphones. Sometimes, funny dolls and teddy-bears under car (and even big, serious buses!) tails. All these silly things are cute and sweet (suay in Thai or kawaii in Japan), usually. But, look at this poor baby doll under a racing car. What the owner wanted to say us? “I hate your suay things! I’m out of mainstream!”? Or: “I killed a child in myself!”? Anyway, it looks weird.

What workers of a very small village have to do when they need to decorate roofs of souvenir shops for a national holiday? In some Western country, they would order a real skylift vehicle for one day. But it’s Thailand, people are very poor. That’s why, they need to be inventors and use some materials at hand to construct their own skylift. So, say hello to Village Monster 2052 – a cherry picker, built with an old radio mast and several bamboo stems, based on an usual tractor. It can even lift up/down, but because a basket hardly mounted to the mast, it can’t keep a horizontal position, and man had to balance on handrails. Also a worker should be careful when tractor moves (yep, he doesn’t get off during tractor’s rides), because the mast starts to vibrate and can brake, or a tractor can roll off even. Hard work, isn’t it? But it’s Thailand – they just don’t care

Elephant is the most popular animal in Thailand. It’s a symbol, friend and vehicle for Thais. During Thai holidays village people come to cities with elephants and drive them by streets blessing houses and earn some money. 2 days ago I noticed a funny thing: two elephant owners decided to follow official regulations for vehicles on a road and put red blinking tail light (same as everybody put on bicycles) and old CD (as a reflector) on elephant’s tail. I don’t support elephants exploitation, but it was a funny picture. Where is a number plate, guys???
