That's a Krabi joke!

I did it. I recently bought a tie from Thailand! Whilst north of the border, me and my esteemed colleague, Lee 'is my first name and I'm not in any way Chinese' Taylor, couldn't help but notice the number of mildly amusing place names that the country where you don't even vaguely joke about the king has to offer: Bangkok, Krabi, Phuket and Phi Phi Island (pronounced pee pee).


So, doing our best impression of 'Aussie' tourists, sitting on the beach sipping at a 20 baht long-neck of what we assumed to be very bad goon (after being surprised to discover it's distinctly non beer like qualities), we tried to come up with stupid things to do in places that weren't afforded names of such obvious comic value.

Here goes:

-Buy a new jumper in New Jersey.
-Go out by yourself in Barcelona.
-Reserve a place to stay in Bucharest.
-Annoy some Buddhists in Budapest.
-Tell your girlfriend to hurry up in Russia.
-Block a river with a hampster in Amsterdam.
-Explain that it's actually your girlfriend's drink in Serbia.
-Explain to your travel buddies that you've arrived in Syria.
-Find someone to con in Osaka.
-Agree with someone in Yeman.
-Piss someone off in Hanoi.
-Tell people that you've left, albeit ungrammatically, in Saigon.
-Buy cheese from Delhi.
-Purchase a folder from Manila.
-Commit beastiality in Kathmandu.
-Shake your arse in Djibouti.
-Be friendly in Nice.
-Have a bite in München.
-Watch the tennis in Tennessee.
-Study Islam in Whyalla.
-Finish a meal in Dunedin.

Anyway, you get the point. I best stop now.

Skip to the end: Some krabi place name puns.
