HAPPY LETTERS

Roger Crutchley, aka Old Crutch, is somewhat of a legend. He's been working for The Bangkok Post for many, many years. He's the sports editor and he also writes a very entertaining column every Sunday. Yesterday he suggested there should be more 'happy' letters in The Bangkok Post's postbag, and proceeded to give some hilarious examples. Here's one.

Welcome to Thailand

Dear Sir: I have just received a most wonderful welcome at Suvarnabhumi airport. When I entered the arrivals area, admittedly a little weary after walking five kilometres through a shopping mall to reach the immigration counter, dozens of gentlemen in white shirts and dark trousers rushed over to greet me and offered to drive me to my hotel in a luxury limousine at a "special fare". They kindly explained that the ordinary taxis were a "rip-off" and saved me from all sorts of problems.
It was nice to feel so popular. Some were so helpful they even ran off with my suitcase. I think they must have got lost because my suitcase hasn't arrived at the hotel yet. I think the driver also accidentally took me to the wrong hotel. It's a sort of drive-in with lots of curtains and there are huge mirrors on the bedroom ceiling. Every hour a young lady knocks on the door and asks if I would like "some company". These people are so considerate, they are even afraid I might be lonely.

Happy Tourist
