Suicidal Gecko
I don't know what is it with geckos and car trunks. A poor unfortunate gecko was squashed between a taxi trunk door see here. And now this gecko is seen hugging very closely to another car trunk. Maybe this is the way geckos like to kill themselves??

The travel website released the results of its inaugural TripIndex –- a cost comparison of 50 key tourist cities around the world and 15 hot spots in the U.S. -- tracked against the U.S. dollar.
Beating 49 cities, Bangkok was found to be the best-value global city for U.S. travelers, with a total TripIndex tally of US$112.

Is The Great Flood Coming Yet?
There was a rumor created by a Thai monk a few months ago that a great flood was going to wipe out Bangkok from the face of the earth around April-May. Since building an ark will be impossible, I guess the driver of this pick up truck thought raising his car will do the trick...

Thai 2011 Election Posters
So it's that time again.
Let us highlight some of the most interesting and eye-catching election posters:
Here is the poster of Yingluck Shinawatra, dearest baby sister of fugitive ex-PM Thaksin Shinawatra.
Chuwit Kamolvisit, former massage parlor tycoon/gangster/journalist and wife beater trumps both Yingluck AND Abhisit with his eye-catching, if somehow stressed-out looking posters:
This one says
"Just the mere thought of shaving my 'stache has me breaking into cold sweat"
This one says
"Friggin' Thai people don't know jack how to driiiive!!!!"
And my favorite:
"Once this girl's 18 years old, she's miiiiine! Don't even think about it, buster; FINDERS KEEPERS!"
Even sour grapes don't want to get left behind. The political party of the PAD (People Against Democracy), aware that they'll lose the election for sure (because that stunt they did at the airport sure pissed off a lot of people), decided they'll boycott the election.
But they want other people to boycott as well, by voting "NO" on the ballot. Conscious that nobody in the party is good-looking and/or fashionable enough, they've resorted to using animal posters instead (which somehow end up looking cuter than many of the other candidates):
"Don't let the animals into the Parliament!"
As a dog-lover, I take offense at PAD's insinuation that dogs are just like those sneaky, dirty, cheating politicians. Dogs are wonderful creatures. They're the only beings on this Earth capable of unconditional love. A dog doesn't give a rat's ass whether you're born into old money, or can use fancy-schmancy words in your speeches. Or use deodorant.
And what's this business of using buffaloes on the posters?
(in Thailand, a buffalo, called khwai, is supposedly a very dumb animal, thus it is an insult to call anyone khwai)
Call me biased, but these khwais certainly look more lovable than those yellow idiots who took over the airport.
And a monkey on the poster too?
Didn't they see that monkey in "Hangover 2"? That monkey's more well-trained than most of the people in the Parliament!
Well, I might be whining now, but once the election's over, I'm sure I'll be missin' 'em.
So for the sake of posterity, here's a slideshow of a compilation of the election posters:

Weird Thai Picture of the Day: Chilled-Out Doggie
Walking from the National Stadium BTS Station to MBK, I came across this very oh-so-trendy dog.
He was actually sleeping, and apparently someone slipped on a pair of fire-engine red sunglasses on him.
As you can see, his eyes were actually closed.
This extremely well-fed barker was getting SO MUCH attention from passers-by (both locals and tourists) who excitedly snapped his pictures.
The doggie remained cool, calm and composed through all the hoopla.
One last look:
EVERYBODY!!!!!!! Say it together with me now~~~~
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwww~~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!

Weird Thai Picture of the Day: Crazy Old Man Peeing in Public
This old dude was in front of Sukhumvit 49 Road when he suddenly whipped out his shriveled lil' dick and started peeing RIGHT THERE!
(Sorry for the bad quality of the pic; I was inside a moving car and couldn't hold the camera steady)
I am betting all of Thaksin's assets that he's a ting-tong homeless man.
Just a typical day in Bangkok.
*jaw drops*

Weird Thai Picture Of The Day: Giant Gecko
Not sure if this is a real gecko or not, but it sure is nas-tay! Found this picture in one of the Thai sites. Maybe giant geckos also need hugs like us warm-blooded humans.....

Lucky Numbers or Just Showing Off?
What goes with an expensive car besides the stereotype sexy ladies in skimpy clothes? Expensive plate numbers, of course! The "thing" to do in Thailand when you have a sports car or any other luxurious vehicle is to get a very expensive plate number. Some actually cost more than the vehicle itself! And some people would wait for MONTHS just to get the number they want. Some are bought in auctions...woo-pee!
Most famous number are repetitive number such as 111, 999 and 555. The number one is always a good thing. Number 9 is believed to bring you luck and will bring you forward to better things as 9 in Thai is called "kao", which also can mean "stepping forward". Number 5 is "ha". This is called "the happy plate". So a plate number bearing 555 means "ha ha ha". Hopefully it means the driver of the car would always stay in a good mood during traffic! Let's check out some of the nice cars with their nice plates:
If your car has any of these numbers, most likely cops wouldn't dare stop you for any driving violation. Why? Because only "big" people are able to afford these kind of plate numbers. Don't you mess with the BIG people, now!
