These are the first words I hear upon my arrival in the Land of Smiles. And, mind you, the plane has just landed and I am not even past the arrival gate yet.
It was an honest mistake, really. I was the last person off the plane and had the concourse pretty much to myself. Walking past a glassed-off waiting area, I notice that the security door is wide open, so I pop in to sit down and check email. As I pop back out and continue on, I hear a female voice call out the very un-Thai salutation.
I glance back at two bovine-looking gate attendants lumbering up, smiling -- incongruously, considering what was just said. "Why you come through there?" the one wants to know. I explain about the just-got-off-the-plane, the check-email, the wide-open-door-for-criminy-sakes, and then add, "But I guess my question is: 'Hey, stupid'? Really?" Still grinning, she goes back to close the security door, and I beat-feet it off to immigration.
The adventure begins!
