    It’s ok. I didn’t pack any eggs on my trip. I did bring Dave. Can I boil him here?

  3. the ninky nonk says:

    yes boil some dave do you want veg with that?

  4. rocksprites says:

    It’s because you’re allowed to boil eggs at the hot springs. I guess you’re not allowed to do it at this one, hence the sign.

    • Shy Guy says:

      I was thinking it was a hot spring. It wouldn’t make sense for a pond to have anything to do with eggs…

    • jdoomsy says:

      Spa boiled eggs are actually a delicacy in some asian countires. I think the real FAIL is the poster who was (presumably) in one of such countries and obviously didn’t bother or manage to learn about the culture of said countries. Maybe that’s a little judgmental of me, but I’d think someone whose gonna put something online for other people to laugh at would at least bother to ask or check, as to make sure it wasn’t his/her misunderstanding.

      • Doodoodadum says:

        Seriously? OK, let me get this right…

        It’s ok to make fun of another culture’s inability to grasp English sentence construction. It’s ok to laugh at the fact that some people have trouble pronouncing their “L”‘s. I can infer this from the fact that you browsed this site rather than just closed the window in disgust.

        But make fun of how another culture cooks their food–you’re going to hell!

        The only FAIL here is your hypocrisy.

  5. PiranhaChan says:

    Yeah, I think this means exactly what it says. Lots of people around the world apparently use hot springs and seismic thermal areas to boil eggs.

  6. Scum says:

    The writing looks Thai. There is at least one hot springs in southern Thailand where they sell raw eggs so tourists can boil them.

  7. telefil says:

    In the “Harvest Moon” games, some of the girls/boys absolutely love eggs boiled in the hot springs.

    Not that that’s got anything to do with this, I was just feeling waffy at the discussion of hot spring eggs :)

  8. puddnsnacks says:

    I don’t get what’s wrong. It’s a hot spring and it’s very common to drop a bag with a couple of eggs in there, take a soak in a cooler spring and return to eat fresh boiled eggs. If it’s simply because it says “No” instead of “Don’t” that’s not funny enough for this site.

    • dr handle says:

      There could be various metal contaminants in this particular spring that are detrimental to humans. Or the area could be inhabited by a rampaging slavering carnivorous giant chicken that charges out of the shrubbery the minute it sees someone drop eggs into the water, shouting “Don’t you boil my children!” before it pecks the would-be egg boilers to death and throws them into the spring. That’s probably the reason, because of the vengeful giant rampaging chicken, this spring is in fact a well-simmered pool of cream of human soup.

  9. kinne says:

    not engrish unless you count the lack of an ing. saw that place on a survival show. it is possible to boil eggs and meat

    • JohnB says:

      For want of an ing, the egg was lost. For want of an egg, the meat was lost. For want of the meat, the survivor was lost. For want of a survivor, the show was lost. No boil rerun.

  10. laconejita says:

    I bet there’s a sulfur smell in this pond.

  11. Crazyhorse says:

    I am curious on what would be the penalty if somebody attempts to boil egg there. What kind of traveler in the first place to bring a fresh egg along? :-)

    • Donald Zerli, Patriot says:

      Hey, I have done weekend hikes with a few fresh eggs in my pack any number of times. Fresh eggs for breakfast, along with some whole wheat toast and coffee, beats choking down an “energy bar” first thing in the morning.

      I can see where it might be a problem in a tropical country, though, unless you kept them in a large thermos with ice water.

      As far as the penalty…as I have advised my son who is attending school in Nanjing: when you are in a foreign country, you just DO NOT BREAK THE LAW. Ever.

  12. They have places where you can boil eggs all over Thailand. Not sure where this one is but others have mentioned they’ve seen them in the south. They also have them in Chiang Mai in the north.

    So, like others . . . I don’t really see what’s so funny about this one.

  13. strawrose says:

    We did this in Taiwan, in the rain. XD

  14. Mister Travel says:

    Ooh! Ooh! I knoes, I knoes!
    The pit is a sulfur hotsprings. In asian countries, eggs boiled in them are supposed to give you longer life for each one you eat. The only thing is, if people don’t do it properly, they can get sulfur burns. Very nasty. The sign is probably a very terse way of preventing people from getting said burns in exchange for a black egg. (the sulfur reacts with the shell and the albumen, colouring it black) In any case, black eggs taste funky.
