Sign of the Thais


Most of us see these peculiar signs pop up everywhere in Thailand and all over Asia for that matter. Images blend with phrases in a rare mix. The meaning may seem a bit hazy, but… What can we say?


From today we will start to build a an Image Library of these incredible signs from the Lanna Region. As we stumble across fresh signs we will of course add them to the collection. Stay posted on updates by following us at Twitter @thenorthernrose


Of course you can also check out the images directly at Flickr, which provides a much nicer fullscreen slideshow.


We more than welcome your contributions and suggestions! If you have pics or locations, please go ahead and send them in. In due time we will select Top Contributions and create a "Sign of the Thai" Gallery at Flickr. Who knows... the selected winner might even be rewarded ;) We just have to figure out a suitable Grand Prize :)


Please share and upload your suggestions Right Here, Right Now


Join the wisdom of the crowd!
