EricTh Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) I was in for a shock today when I went to the bank today. All the bank staff were wearing traditional Thai costumes. I though the male staff looked very casual. Then I went to Lotus to do some shopping and lo and behold, we have staff there dressing in Thai costumes baring their right shoulders in an air-conditioned place. Where to buy these traditional costumes, maybe I should wear like them. Edited April 12, 2018 by EricTh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxcorrigan Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I think i should too, i think i would look quite fetching in those pants that look like the old Bombay Dung Hammocks the old Indian gents used to wear! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungstib Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Playing dress up, a chance to be something else, a desire to be one of royalty, a break from minimum pay boredom or even worse, unemployment. I've noticed "working class' English people just love top hat and tails weddings, dressing up for the races, etc. Looking like the 1% even if it only lasts a few hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortly after there was a new rule that women should wear bra and cover themselves and the men should wear clothes that cover their tattoos. Some history buffs can find that somewhere and there are many historical photos to support that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is it dotpoom , yesterday way way up here in Huai Khrai and having a coffee outside Lotus express it was noticed that all the staff were dressed very smartly , even the entrance to Lotus was festooned in flowers , apparantly this had nothing to do with the Boss , but Mr Tesco Lotus was coming along later.

samsensam Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 nice thing to do. due to a combination of the recent obsession with love destiny, every thai i have asked has been watching it, and the PM telling/asking locals to wear traditional costume.

Thats because their Husbands were having a Ball and who can blame them, that will not have gone down well with alot of Fat Frumpy Tarts from Essex i.e. Their Wives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
