[quote=socal;2180992]generally, thais seem to e fairly clean about their bodies (they often wash their hands before eating the stuff the guys who didn't wash their hands prepared for them)
food hygiene however, is a totally different thing altogether- they either don't fukkn care or they are totally fukkn clueless!
the cutting board thing is a big one, and the fact that flies sitting all over the food somehow doesn't seem to bother them at all, even in the "restaurants" that have been issued that silly "clean food "etc endorsement from the authorities.
so..........to sum it all up:
i agree with socal that perhaps the thais know how to shit.
they know fukkall about how to prepare hygienic food though
or if you wish you could combine both sentences and come up with:
"the thais know SHIT!
...which is what most of us here figured out a long time ago, anyway!!
