Ohh I saw an ohh so funny farang gone mad the other day..

Waiting at an out of town car wash.. This Vigo pickup comes in.. All rude boy'ed up, bodykit, big shiny alloys, low profile sport tyres (must have a rough noisy ride) silly little LED lights all over it, all the nasty cheap thai style boy'ed up 'upgrades'..

Out of it gets this farang, I wont comment on his physical but he was wearing about 10 baht of gold, fat thai neck chain and wrist bracelets, plus a gold encased jatukahm about 6 inches across.. Just a serious tasteless overcompensating try hard.

Sometimes when you see the amulet loving farangs I have to stifle a giggle.

I too have one I was given way back before this sudden enthusiasm, its a nice small size, in a silver style shell, I dont imagine it is worth much if anything (It was given to me by someone with almost no money) but it was genuinely given with good feeling, which to me is all the more important. But as I dont wear jewellery I dont carry it. I cant put it with my keys as they go in my trouser pockets (or even might get sat on) and the GF says I shouldnt hang it in the car as it will add to the risk of broken windows snatch and grab (lucky way to acquire a Buddha if ever I heard one !!) so it sits unused.
