See the rest...
An ATM machine/bank, Louang Prabang, Laos.
Taken at a waterfall near Louang Prabang, Laos.
This picture was actually printed on the wall tiles of one of our guest house bathrooms. Oddly enough, there were several photos like this in northern Vietnamese bathrooms... just weird.)
On the door of a bar in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Yes, that says Crap Fish. Nothing goes better with "Deep friend crispy Crap Fish" than "Braised Crap fish with sour Vegtable"... but there is always the "Special Seamed Crap fish king style." Taken in HaNoi, Vietnam.
Perhaps they should work on those first quality translations.
Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Above the toilets at Angkor Wat, Cambodia.
Our boat tickets to the Thai/Laos border... Apparently this was important enough to make it larger than the boat number type. (I think it was written especially for me.)
Taken Luang Prabang, Laos.
Taken onboard boat to Thai/Laos border making the typo somehow appropriate.
Still trying to figure out what they meant to say the second time... Taken in Huang Xai (Thai/Laos Border)

I think that one of the most amusing things in other countries is the English translations. I really do appreciate it that they try - else we would be completely clueless - but they do make you laugh. We are so fortunate to speak English as our native language.
i cant believe so many of the signs are translated to english. here in switzerland-france, almost nothing is translated for us.
The main reason for the signage is that english is the language of trade here. I always enjoy watching Koreans, Japanese, Germans, and Thai all talking in my native language... I feel quite fortunate. The signs are still funny though...
