Well, as the airport is open and things are back to ‘normal’ (which in Thailand usually means the political scene could implode at any second), I thought I’d put something light up, in the form of two stickers I saw recently. The range of window decals on vehicles here is always fun to keep tabs on, such as the “I Love Farang – I Speak English!” stickers, which are usually inside taxis where the driver can’t speak English and has no particular feelings on foriegners either way (although this guy has the regular mass-produced variety beat hands down). But at least it’s never boring.

Another oft-seen sticker that has little to do with anything except saving lives, often seen on cars that can barely start, let alone race to the scene of a life-or-death situation. I once saw a truck that had about 8 of these, ranging from around 1cm high to probably a foot.

I have no idea why this sticker can be found everywhere, and neither do several Thai friends I've asked. It ranges from thumbnail size to nearly a foot tall and represents... something. Change is good? Naked girls are better? The mystery remains.

This one isn't one sticker, but I thought it was an interesting placement of two different ones. A Monk - highly revered and admired in Thailand - and a sticker for 50 Cent. Maybe the tuk-tuk driver aspires to some type of monastic thug life?

fart

Reader Strangely_Brown mentioned this one in the comments below, and guess what I saw on the way home today? I find it ironic that there’s a no farting sticker in a taxi, when taxi drivers often treat their hostages, I mean, passengers to smells that would make a cow wince.
