Popular Post tgeezer Posted December 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2017 Driving to the park today on Phahonyothin Road a shirtless farang was seen walking on the pavement. It is against public decency and many Thais feel, probably hope, that it is against the law. It is sad to see foreigners who don't give a damn about people's feelings, probably the same sort who complain when they are treated with distain by people.

Popular Post Meljames Posted December 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2017 I watched a fat Thai man take off his sweaty shirt and walk around in the restaurant at the golf club one day last week. Not really what I like seeing while trying to enjoy my lunch. Arschlochs belong to all nationalities. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrzent Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Lots of people working out and jogging with no shirts on. Also lots at the beach with no shirt on. Is that not permitted? What are the exact rules and regulations? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ukrules Posted December 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) There's a Thai guy who walks around near to where I live and during the summer he never wears a shirt. Just shorts and flip flops. OP : When I see this 50+ year old Thai man next summer without his shirt should I tell him how non Thai his behaviour is and that he should respect local culture Edited December 20, 2017 by ukrules 10 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP : When I see this 50+ year old Thai man next summer without his shirt should I tell him how non Thai his behaviour is and that he should respect local culture I have seen Chinese shopkeepers sweeping up the pavement outside their shops without shirts on around here, I presume that like the man you saw he knows the form. Going shirtless was Thai culture for people who couldn't afford many clothes especially in the countryside working the fields. Why would you interpret my objection to a farang going shirtless as me believing that it was non Thai conduct? The similarities between Thai and English attitude to societies norms make it easy for both to behave in an acceptable way in one another's countries. I doubt that the Chinese shopkeeper or the man in your town would go to London and walk about shabbily dressed. I am sure that both would try to give a good impression of themselves and their country.Sent from my iPad using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a bottomless girl going up the escalator the other day. I wouldn't have noticed except for the fat that two Thai guys were squatting and taking photos or filming. I guess they were all together as she was bending over for them. It was all over in a few seconds. I go back every day, but alas, no luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotpoom Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I find it annoying too to see Farangs without a shirt on in the Soi's......but at the same time I can see why they may be unaware of any wrongdoing. I'd say that any country they had been in on holiday before here there was no such problem. Thai men also can be seen in public on occasion shirtless, so can be confusing.

moonseeker Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Pattaya is full of old, fat, tattooed, shameless, low or no class, ugly and shirtless men.

Dazinoz Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I was in church one time and a topless girl walked in just as the priest was giving his sermon. He said to her "you can't come in here dressed like that". She said "but I have a divine right". The priest said "you have a divine left too but you still can't come in here dressed like that". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Time Traveller Posted December 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) OMG fellow snowflakes. A farang was observed walking on the pavement. Yes I entirely agree with the OP, farangs walking on pavements should be against the law. tgeezer, given your superior knowledge of Thai laws and customs, did you set this farang straight and shame him in public, or just rush home to post on Thaivisa about your hurt feelings ?
