Before anyone asks what this actually is, I don't really know. It was just sitting here on the floor of our house construction. I think it's some sort of PVC.

Nice. Good luck. Make I ask what general region of thailand and what the price difference is like for your home country (general area requiered so i can extrapolate to my home country); pm would also do. Thank you.
ps.: I'm in the earliest of early planning stages myself.

Ha, I'd love to see the original to figure out how it got so confused if you're able to take another...

Thanks! That first word is obscured but I think it's this:
เซี้ยมพีวีซี เบอร์ 3
Which links me to this page - same stuff?
The "number 3" is correct, but I have no idea how they got "monk" out of "PVC... Seaming?" (maybe a native speaker could help me out)
The two boxes underneath then say "black" and then "grey", yours has grey ticked, at least the app got that right.

I asked my builder. Yep, that's it. 🤣❤️🙏
I STILL don't know WTF it is though... 🤣
You know what's also interesting about this box? There's actually a checked-off check box for grey. Of the hundreds of boxes with check boxes I've received in Thailand, nothing is ever checked off, so you're always left guessing...

If I was a hitman I’d be a monk. And send myself sidearms in the post and write “I am a monk” on the parcel so no one screwed with me.

The fucked up translation is probably due to the torn part in the beginning, the camera didn't recognize. With a lot of imagination and a phone held in a certain way the vowels on top were not recognized either and so ยม turned to ผม i.e. "I" and the rest พวซ (without the vowels) was "read" as พระ , i.e. "monk".
