It wasn’t just the Ubiquitous Plastic Stools that caught my eye, but the incongruity of their placement, all lined up in anticipation of . . . . what?
I snapped this shot along one of the small aisles of the amulet market buried behind Wat Ratchanadda in Bangkok. I love this kind of shot. There’s a story there; it challenges you to decide just what that story is.
Okay, maybe not. But I know ya’ll were missing your weekly Ubiquitous Plastic Stool Shot fix!
AAAARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, take them away, take them away. This is the devil’s work!!
(hmmmm, one of them is an imposter, aluminium I think.)
Damn Al! I knew one of you purists would catch that and register a foul.
Purist??????????/ Me????? Surely you jest.
Purist, Al. Not pure . . .
🙂
Bitch!
The blue one is OK, but the faded red ones just don’t do it for me. 😉
I’m guessing the chairs are in a reserved parking formation… in the gutter, not on the curb.
Another convert!
🙂
I’m trying to figure out the significance of the two faded red being stacked . . . see what I mean?
Yes – unfathomable!
It’s an ancient signal of doom dating back to before Thaksin,probably around the time of Mongut, it warns of political upheaval and perhaps military intervention within the next 10 years. A very repected and ominous signal to the general public. In years gone by it was not permitted to warn anyone of such things so in 1422 they found they could stack these plastic chairs without fear of retibution or being impaled on an elephant’s trunk, usually these signals were placed outside the Tawan bar up until 1550 when they were moved to Duangtawee plaza. Anyone found interfering with the signal was immediately banished to future boys and never to be released. When such persons ran outr of tips they were stoned to death with glitter balls and loose satang coins that no one ever wanted anyway.
So there you have it, I trust this has helped in your understanding of Siamese / Thai culture. Khop khun Krap.
lol
And here I was worried about the Mayan prediction of the end of the world come December!
I’m gonna forward this info to Newt’s campaign. It sounds like something he should be ready to prepare us for.
do you know that i now spend far to long looking for plasic stools doing as these 3 are . nothing !!! and its all your fault .. p.s. nice to see a pavement that you can actually walk on !
lastly i think you need to start to worry about your readers .. you get more comments on plastic stools now that the sexy guys … mmmmm red plastic mmmmmm..
lol.
I’m waiting for readers to start sending in their own favorite Ubiquitous Plastic Stool shots. And am enjoying the thought that Thais will soon be shaking their heads over all the farang running around town taking those shots. I know we are often as difficult to figure out for them as they are for us, this should help send them over the edge.
I have to admit though that I’m worried about those of you who have this fondness for red chairs. I try to understand, but it just doesn’t seem right. I think that preference ruins the rest of our reputations and that ya’ll may need to get some professional help.
i think if the blue stool had been sandwiched between the 2 red ones it would have sent me over the edge !!!
A mixed color pairing?
That’s so sick!
I mean if the blue had been topping the reds I could understand, but sandwiched?
You is one sick puppy Timmy!
🙂
I told ya this obsession would come to no good!
No no Al, it’s good that a place exists on the internet even for those into Ubiquitous Plastic Stool kink. As a community we need to be more inclusive. Even if that means pandering to perverts.
🙂
i think maybe now is the time to move the Ubiquitous stool pictures ( had to copy and paste that as ive not idea how to spell it .. also had to google it to see what it meant !!! me thick never ) onwards .. how about finding some acient ruin shots of stools ?
if anyone can do im sure its you !!
I think I have one of me sitting on a Ubiquitous Plastic Stool, that should count toward ancient ruins I think.
I fukn did NOT give you permission to take that pic of me, bitch!
lol
Tim was going another way, but maybe ancient ruins on Ubiquitous Plastic Stools might become a trip’s photogrpahic theme in the future.
well it would probably damage the stool … which is what i meant .. acient old broken stools .. not stools in ruins
God I wish you people over there would learn how to speak English!
🙂
STOOLS, STOOLS bloody stools………..JEEEZUZ, bunch a bloody scat freaks!!!
Oh thanks Al.
Now the scat fans will be hitting my blog off of keyword searches.

Amazing isn’t it? Doesn’t matter what someone’s native language is or how proficient in English they are, ‘fuck’ is a word known and understood all around the world.
