Thai Monopoly


We recently purchased the Thai version of Monopoly. It has just been released here in Thailand this year. It comes with a certificate telling us how special we are to have one of the first edition copies. We though it would be pretty cool to play this classic game with a Thai twist. We finally broke it out the other night and played. We have been too busy to have a proper game night. The properties are all Thai. The most coveted properties are Silom and Sukhumvit as opposed to Boardwalk and Park Place. The properties come from different hot spots throughout Thailand. The playing pieces are the same and the Chance and Community Chest cards are the same. There is both Thai and English written on everything. So you can be told to "go to jail" or " by kao kook" . I played Jack the other night. Of course, he has to "trash talk" about how he will win. I smoked him! I mean beat him badly up and down Silom and Sukhumvit Roads. I owned both properties with multiple houses!!! To be fair, he kept getting slammed with "fees" for various different things, while I kept getting rewarded. That's only part of the game. The rest was my saavy game playing! All of these "digs" are for my dear husband's benefit for his trash talk! He loves it!

Way to go Kim!! You have the power now to talk trash! Poor Jack, getting caught like that! Go for a repeat next time. Make sure that you bring that home with you - it will be interesting to see a Thai version.

love you, Mimi

Sure imagine some of the great com chest and chance cards:
You shoot someone but your dad is a politician... Get out of Jail free!
You come from a long proud line of essarn farmers... go to jail go directly to jail.. do not pass go!
You win 2nd prize in a beauty contest.. Pay $50/- to have your testees removed.
Pay extortion on all your properties...
