The travelling Medicine show

Rice

Resident Smart Arse
Just when you think you have probably seen it all. Up rolls The travelling medicine show to the village. A true relic of the early part of the 20th century in the US and Australia. Snake oil and all.

The spin doctor set up a cinema and at regular intervals lambasted the crowd with buying cure all medicine. The movie was an old Thai ghost movie circa 1960.

What amused me most of all was the local slang for this event.
Nang Kay Ya. Literal meaning the seated pharmacy but loosely implied the captive seated pharmacy.

Funny As.
