On our last night in Sangklaburi, Reena, MaiMai and I went to one of two sit-down restaurants in town. There was even an English menu!...sort of. This is the most extreme example of Thinglish (Thai English) I have ever seen, and I’ve seen some extreme examples. I forgot my camera but dutifully copied down all indecipherable menu items onto paper, because these phrases were too good to forget.
