    Seen in Bangkok - History's Most Ironic Motor Rally

    The appearance of the below ad in the Bangkok Post, an otherwise solid and reputable publication, has caused quite a bit of tittering in the Big Mango; I heard about it from four or five people before I saw it myself and had to take a picture. I guess it's nothing new in Thailand - the PAD (People's Alliance for Democracy) preaching a form of government that's anything but democratic; porn is illegal to purchase, but red light fantasies galore are easy to find; and customer service desks often offer anything but. Thailand is a land of contradictions - many of them maddeningly upsetting - so it's nice to see a funny one every once in a while...

    Come help save the Earth by driving your car the 200km from Bangkok to Hua Hin! Something tells me this wasn't thought out so well...
