Remaindered Notes from Thailand
Andy, 29 April 2008
(The following are a couple leftover scribblings I just pulled from my little black moleskine.)
Middle-aged woman in Hat Yai airport with “BURBCURRY” embroidered in a pastel rainbow down the leg of her jeans. [Probably one of my favorite engrish sightings.]
DOG BALLS
CAT BALLS
MOTH BALLS
[The ever-present stray dogs and cats were never neutered, naturally. Some of those dogs had the biggest nuts, and they were usually all chapped and covered in sand. Woo! I couldn’t even recall the last time I’d seen feline testicles in the states. As for the moth balls, well, they seemed to be the fashionable substitute for urinal cakes wherever we went. It was like peeing in my grandma’s closet.]
Brunch cooked by katoey! [I was a big fan of having my chocolate chip pancakes cooked by a ladyboy every morning on Ko Lipe. The novelty wore off by day four, but only a little. PS: The trannies in Thailand were all masters of bershon, especially those working at tourist-heavy restaurants.]
