But is the call in English or Thai?
Thai attempts at English are always good for a laugh. It’s usually a malapropism with a uniquely Thai twist that gives you the chuckle. A menu of drinks listing My Thais is one of my favorites. This one, from a souvenir stand at the Amazing Hot Springs! just outside of Chiang Rai gets extra points for the effort. I don’t think Google Translate could have done any better.
But then fair is fair. It’s not like native English speakers do that much better when it comes to signs:
(BTW, congratulate me for not making a joke about Pattaya with that “Chicken to Blow” sign.)

Which one would that be?
Christian, I’m never sure if your need to have jokes explained is because you are not a native English speaker or that you are German . . .
‘Chicken’ is slang for the exceptionally young. I’ll let you Google ‘blow’.
