Random Thai Stuff - keychains

Almost every place we stay at has some signature key chain that is never quite what I expect. I start taking photos of them a few days into the trip so I can remember them and I've put a few here as samples.

Several of the rooms we stay in have electricity that shuts off whenever the key chain is removed from a custom wall cradle - this way you never forget your TV/AC/fan on all day while you're out:


The thinking behind most other key chains seems to be "If we make it big and clunky maybe the bloody tourists will stop forgetting them." It works - you definitely know when you have your key on you.

This one came with a glasses case attached: 

Another key came with both a doll and a rectangular slab of wood attached, complete with a picture of our bungalow:

The winner for classiest key chain is definitely the P. California guesthouse in Nang Rong with its handmade ceramic thingy:

I dunno, but I see a Dianna Graham coffee table book idea here. I love the pics!
