On 14th November 2022, a ฿19 noodle stall in a temple in Chiang Mai reportedly went viral after they came up with a funny slogan to guarantee the tastiness of their dishes. The slogan goes, “If the noodles are not delicious, you can punch a monk.”

Translation: It will be sinful to punch a monk. But the noodles were delicious.

Finally, someone expressed that punching a monk wouldn’t be a good thing and confirmed the deliciousness of their signature noodles.

Hope nobody punches a monk if they aren’t happy with the noodles

We think a slogan is always an important part of advertising a product or attracting customers. That said, some might consider this slogan to be improper as it suggests violence towards a monk who is deemed to be a respected figure, even though the idea was suggested by a monk himself.

In any case, we’re glad that the noodle stall has gained a lot of customers after coming up with a successful catchphrase to generate publicity. Finally, we hope no one really punches a monk even if they are unhappy with their noodles.
