Only in Thailand..

.. do the landlord send three men up to change the lock on the door.

The lock on the door of our new room in the apartment has always been hard to open. So, the landlord said they would send people up to our room to change it.

The damn door


So three men turned up at our door the next day. After over an hour of struggling, the new lock was installed. Ok, now let's try it.

One of the guys went outside, closed the door and tried to open it.

Nope. It wouldn't open.

Okay, it's fooked then. Open it from inside please.

Err... nope. It wouldn't open also.

Ehh... huh?!? Scuse me?!?

Oh, crap. So we were stuck in the room with two men.

15 minutes later, God heard my prayer and the guy outside could open it with the key.

So, they started taking the new lock off and re-installed the old one.

Almost two hours after their arrival, they buggered off saying they would be back with new crews and tools.

We are still using the old lock.
