In the village where I live it is the Thai men many with pot bellies, others like walking skeletons, who are seen wandering the streets shirtless in public - even entering into stores and shops.  Are they too devoid of respect for their culture? 

This Thai culture thing get mentioned over and over. What is it?

Women going about their business topless would be OK for me.

I do not go into shops, eating places, toilets or bars without a T-shirt or similar on. A couple of years back I was fined at a police check-point for driving the pick-up shirtless.

In my local town the ladies wear more clothes than the men.

What about walking around bare-footed?

Ah, the biggest women's complaint against men- "you leave the toilet seat up". I guess they don't have much to complain about then.

If a woman were ever to say that to me, I'd say that I'd put it down after I use it when they put it up after using it.

Probably the best way to shut them up is just to leave it down and piddle on it.

I agree with you TBL. They are simply moaning rats. They do not, and do not want to, understand us men. If it wasn't the toilet seat it would be hiding the TV remote to stop her watching Thai soaps or farting in front of their sisters or taking out false teeth in a restaurtant.

If I pee on the seat I wash it off with the water jet; still she moans.

In days gone by the man would see a woman he fancied, whack her over the head and drag her, by the hair, into the nearest cave and shag her. All the while she would be squealing, like a pig, but secretely hoping he didn't spot a better looking or younger girl on the way to a cave.

After the deed he would fall alsleep but she would get up, chase any vermin out and generally tidy up their new home. And make a bit of grub for luvver boy. He would awaken, look around and think 'this is a half-decent pad'. After food he would see the lady bending over cleaning and think 'I'll hang my hat here for a while'.

Of course 9 months later the little one would pop out and that was that. Hooked!! Line and sinker. "Give me some pebbles to get a fish for dinner dear. I know you have some hidden away."

Some on TVForum would like to turn the clock back a little. And why not?????

I've seen a few farangs walking around bare foot. Makes me cringe but may have to join them

I am one of those farang who walk about barefooted. I just can't find footwear to fit. The most uncomfortable thing for me is climbing ladders in bare feet. Feeding the pigs is also not nice. Poo poo gets under your toenails.

Thongkorn, it does not matter if I am Christian or not, (but I was brought up Christian but know I follow Buddhism), the facts are that many cultures did not see a woman's breasts as a sexual thing, it was not until Christians came to those countries that it was deemed that women's breasts were sexual and must be covered. Even today a woman can be charged with indecent exposure in many countries if she breast feeds a baby in public, she must go into a germ ridden toilet to feed the baby in many places, and that is the interference from Christianity in the countries that England colonized and that America put on Thailand and because of this there are many native cultures from many countries have been destroyed

How does the Muslim way sit with this. Could a woman plop out her breast to feed the nipper in; say Saudi? Or Luton even!

Well I hope you had your strides on

Very droll OL. Attempt at humour. Like it!

We had to get to the Vehicle Licencing Centre (VLC) on Sakon Nakon Road. I was carrying the little one (just a few months old then) in Ban Dung and she was sick down my T-shirt. The wife said not to worry we could get a new shirt at Non Han (on the way) to VLC. Got stopped and paid up. Been done for more for less.

Recall reading  of shirtless tourists being finned, (of all times during Songkhran)

 

It must be an "outrage to public decency" under Thai law.

I was stopped driving our pick-up without wearing a shirt. 40 baht fine! Between Non Mek and Ban Dung. 7 years ago.

Unless Muslim Thais don't like the smell of beef.  Try minced pork and you will be a success.

My third wife was a Muslim. She was a real fashion fiend.

"Owl dear; how does the new dress look?" Pruning herself in front of the mirror. "It looks great dear," eyes still on the footy, "really great."

"You are not even looking darling!"  This time I looked over. "It looks great love, but you are putting on a bit of weight. You're not preggers are you?"

"No silly; that's just my new bomb belt. Picked it up at the mosque this morning; cheap. Very fashionable."

"But you can't see it. It's under your dress." "Well it's the 'in' colour in town.  What would you know anyway?!"

Women!!! Back to my footy.

With my first wife; English I would shout 'cup of tea' and I would get one after about an hour. By then I had forgotton about it.

My second wife was Caribbean and I had changed. No more calling out,, no,, I whistled for my cuppa instead. It would arrive fast but slopped in the saucer, luke warm or with salt instead of sugar. I would say to her; "you are a seemingly intellegent lady, How come you can't make a decent cup of tea." She would just snarl.

Of course now I'm older I have seen the error of my ways. I can't whistle 'cause I have no front teeth. And I've realised that shouting gets one nowhere. So I've devised a system that works well in Thailand; one clap for tea, two for coffee and three claps for a beer.

Sorted!!

Sounds like a lot of old men on this forum with a curmudgeonly disposition. You all really should find some sort of hobby in retirement that isn’t trying to elevate your own social station in life by denigrating others.

TVForum is the hobby for many. You only have to look at the posters on the first page or so on a freash topic. The same names crop up virtually every time. Nothing wrong with that for me.

And to a certain extent you are missing the point of a forum. Most posters build up a raport with others. They don't know them personally; it's just chatting through their pseudonyms.

I draw the line at wellies especially in supermarkets and restaurants.

As they get older other things come into play. The ability to manage the joint bank account and make a nice cup of tea. Letting their underarm air grow. Stuff like that.

Made in Thailand by Thai people.

This could be misleading. It certainly baffles me. How can beer be 'made'. I always thought there was more to it than simply being 'made'.

I make (blend) my own wine (55 Bhat a litre) but I'm going to try beer next.

IMO, Vietnamese women have better bodies, but Thai women have prettier faces. Of course, I am generalizing.

Yes!! And the Vietnamese women don't have this obsession of shaving their legs and arm pits.

Get 7 litres of low khow.

Buy half litre of concentrated fruit juice (CFJ) I like raspberry.

Pour the CFJ into the low khow (not the other way 'round)

Shake well; but not that well that some is spilled.

Start the music and let the girls in.

 

Another recipe is similar but takes longer to prepare. 

Get half kilo of ginger. 

Peel and then grate the ginger.

Put in a pan with a little water.

Bring to the boil and simmer for 3.5 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let it cool.

Strain it.

Mix it into the Low Khow (the juice not the residue).

Start the music and let the girls in.

 

Total cost for 7.5 litres; 380 Bhat

This was post 88 I think might have been 78 or even......never mind. It's above now anyway!

Actually I'm making some right now and tasting it as I go.

I have shared my wine-making bizzo skills with the local lads and lasses but they prefer me to do the bizzo every Saturday night. They tell me it's because my hooch is the bizzo. But I think it's  'cause if I make it I buy the ingredients.

Tastes really good tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ready for decanting and chillin'.

When I last went to Savannakhet for a visa I took a chance & brought back a 5 litre box of Chilean Merlot in my backpack, it was the nicest wine I've drunk in 6 years.

Well done. I'm not that lucky with wine. I make my own now!

Only if they get together and all the bars on the street raise them in solidarity.  (Or in collusion, depending on how you view that kind of thing).

If I run a bar I'd have a free hour first thing every night. After that hour was thru I'd open up the single malts and the low khow wines. Make a fortune!!

Screw tops supposedly better at keeping the wine "fresher" - or less chance of an off bottle.

Many, many wines even at higher price points come with screw tops and have done for quite a few years now.

I also read that the best way to keep wine was in a bag that collasped as it was emptied. To stop any air from getting in after it was opened.

When I was Laos a few years back I found just what I was looking for; the collaspable bag wine. Only a quarter of a million Kip for 5 litres. Could not go wrong with this I was thinking

I bought one and took it to my hotel room. It was <snip> putrid!!!!!

Im curious have any of you had a situation similar to this?

I met her online, and now she wants to come to BKK and stay with me for a week. I have work so there would be days where I wouldnt be home ( im not okay with that). Im also curious in why just meeting me online she feels ready to just come live with me for a week.

I think some of the posts have been a little droll Haja. You are obviously a serious guy who just wants reassurance and advice.

Here's my take.

01 First establish if she is indeed a lady (not ladyboy).

02 Why only a week? Has she something else to do the following?

03 Ask her whether she know the rules of pool.

04 Try to get a nice pic of her face, or any other distinguishable marks (tattoo across her abdomen etc).

05 Post the pics on TvisaF and see what occurs.

Just go with the flow. She might make great cup of tea to wake you up with. One thing though; no matter how much she says you are Mr wonderful after the first night together consider that this might not be the first time she has said this.

I got charged over 100 euros at Murcia for using hold luggage.
