More scenic photos from Thailand coming soon, but in the meantime this. Thailand, for some reason, presented far more interesting and/or hilarious signs than other places we’ve been. Here, then, is a sample.

Not clear what the threat level is with Thai pickpocket gangs, but the foreign ones are apparently worthy of special notice.
The fourth icon is priceless.
