Thailand

Patong Beach in Phuket with a dolphin street sign.

Krabi Town with a sword-wielding elephant. Of course.

Maeklong is best known as the place where the train goes through a market. The city logo happens to be a drum, so sadly no trains decorate the street signs here.

Chiang Mai is a city full of wats, and the signs here look like they try and fit as many temples on the top of the sign as possible.

Chiang Rai, not to be confused with Chiang Mai, have broken with the Thai standard black and blue signs by going gold. Maybe they got tired of

being confused with Chiang Mai.

Chiang Khong is a border town sitting on the Mekong opposite Laos. Their sign features the soon-to-be extinct Irrawaddy dolphin.

Ubon Ratchathani in the Isaan region is best known for its annual Candle Festival.

Songkhla in the deep south of Thailand is famous for the Golden Mermaid, and she is the town logo as well.

Thong Sala – the administrative centre of Ko Pha Ngan – has a happy monkey under coconut trees and a dolphin by the sea, and thankfully no wasted

foreign backpackers in honour of the Full Moon Party.

Another town, another temple. This is Ranong, near the border of Myanmar.

If you had of asked me what I thought would be on the Pattaya street sign, I would have guessed a go-go girl pole dancing, but no, Pattaya have

honoured is maritime heritage with a ship’s wheel.

Nothing fancy here. I’ve just added this one to illustrate what an every day street sign looks like in Thailand.
