Thai marketing skills at their finest! at The FARANG Speaks 2 Much

Thai marketing skills at their finest!

Published by sideshowBOB on April 10th, 2007 in Main. 13 Comments

Saw this today in front of a hotel while walking down soi 4. By the time I got home I still did not know what ABF stood for. After a phone call and some googling my friend figured it out but I sure did not just by staring at the sign. U would think if they spent all that money on a sign they would not make it so cryptic. I also love the “here only” part. Yeah I thought that even though the sign was on soi 4, the “hot promotion” was for that place over on Silom. Right…

Yeah. I guess I am just an idiot but I could not sort it out.

Maybe I have not been a tourist for a while since it some others knew the acronym.

My friend mentioned that since it is soi 4 the ABF stands for angry brown female.

Never seen that one before, or if I had I’d have probably thought it was short for “Air conditioning, Bathroom, (some word beginning with F)”. What is an American breakfast anyway? A bowl of Oreos in half-a-gallon of milk?

None of us knew until we looked it up.

I was racking my brain thinking automatic something or something. American Breakfast never came to mind.

I also thought air bathroom but got stuck on F so figured I was way off.

great stuff.
