Funny or flippant?
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 21/03/2014
» Thais are sanook people. We like to have fun and don’t take things too seriously.

Go ahead since you’ll probably find more followers than you think, like these strange Facebook pages.

There goes our plan to suck in helium and talk funny to pass time on the train.
