Bangkok Ludicrous

Bangkok never ceases to amaze.


When walking about the streets one gets all kind of marketing fliers thrust into ones hands.

This one was given to me by a cute girl after I stepped aside to let her by - I didn't read it until I got back to my room and I ended up in tears as a result.

It started out normal enough...

Now Grand Opening,
NAREE SUITES
Room for Rent
700THB/NIGHT
Standard Room
Family Room
Safe and Clean 100%
Free Internet Wi=Fi
Free Cable TV
Free Safety Box
Free Car Parking

This sounded good and it was on the street where I am currently staying and half the price - maybe I will consider this the next time (as the airlines would say) my travel plans bring me to Bangkok (when don't they as I would say) - then the flier had the following line which led me to tears of laughter..

DUNGEON ROOM FOR RENT

Yes it was all in capitals - my only overriding thought was "where is the dungeon room in relation to the Family Room".

That line was followed by “24h Services” but by that point who cared what services were being offered – my god it was a dungeon room!!

My god I love this country.
