Duh. If she told me that Thai folks find the smell of balm offensive, I would adjust quite easily thanks. Are you missing Thailand so bad you are being cranky? I ate a Pla Kapong Nung Manao earlier, it was quite yummy.

Sorry about the crunky part. Indeed I am missing Thailand very much. and sorry to be crunky to you, usually I find your posts to be very reasonable. It just that IMO this one put Ying on the spot, and being the knight in not so shiny armor that I am , I run to the rescue  of the damsel in distress.

    Some foreigners (and Thais) find that most lavatories in malls, supermarkets, bus stations, petrol stations, and so on ... do not have 'bum guns'. I think we should petition the Prime Minister.

My wife would agree 100% with Yinn. She rides a baht bus to our shop here in Hua Hin and at least twice a week complains of unwashed farang stench. She says it's not so much the smell but it's the burning of the eyes..

I can't imagine why farang would not have the the most basic of personal hygiene. If you re looking for company of the opposite sex, why not splugre 59 Euro on a bottle quality smelly stuff?

I would have to take your word on that. But as ethnic Chinese can you understand that the  many Chinese who  ingest raw  garlic as a "protection" when embarking on public transport present an equivalent  odour problem.

Jump to 2:40 for the part about genes, but watch the whole video to understand the science behind body odour. 

I'm not sure where you get the idea that the Chinese ingest raw garlic as a "protection" but I can assure you that I have never met a single ethnic Chinese in Malaysia that does that, and the practice is alien to me.

59 euros? What's that a drugstore "scent"? A little bottle of Tommy's best juice runs over 200

The women here aren't keen on using overpowering perfume, if any at all......

I'm guessing it turns them off when men are attempting to cover up odors ala: Pepe Le Pew.... 

Hit the bong a few times for a most pleasant stench. The ladies will love it.

I love it when the Kasalong girls tell me I smell good ????

 

 

no problem, everyone likes the smell and its preferable to body odour!

What!! Pay to make yourself smell, when there are fruits and vegetables all around. Just get a lime. Slice it through and rub under the arms, between the legs and any other places that you sweat from.

 

As for looking for opposite sex company; there is a trick. When the lady speaks look at her mouth and when you speak look into her eyes. Any smells are then rendered irrelevant. 

I dont use any deodorants,  just live with the smell, keeps  people away, works  wonders Ive  found, well that and a lot of deodorants really aint so good for you.

I hear you, but the difference between having a scent and being bathed in a scent needs to be taken into consideration.

And some foreigners think the Thai toilets are very stinky, especially on Suvarnabhumi....

Do you like the smell of your man after exercise or do you want him to shower straight

Is she straight ?   well, that is another topic, i suppose.  But usually good to shower BEFORE the exercise,

isn't it ?   But if "good thai"  maybe no exercise before marriage.   Or at least some girls claim that.

Perhaps Malay Chinese do not but many mainland and Hong Kong Chinese do. Presumably because they put a lot of faith in the antibacterial properties of raw garlic.

Like Yinn and my wife both say, using perfume to cover up body stench from the lack of hygiene just doesn't cut it. A proper shower and the use of some sort of deodorant is key especially in hot climes. As a side note, do some young folks in Euro/UK believe deodorant use is bad? I've unfortunately had the experience to be almost gagged off a bus due to young people obviously not using anything, hopefully this isn't a new trend..

Terminal 21 toilets in Pattaya have the Japanese type with buttons for hot/cold, jets strength - weak mid or strong and a dryer too.

First time I see this in a public loo. I was in there for hours reading my book 5555

Now,i have researched the hell out of this,yes Indians have a strong body odour,same as many,how do you you say this now Africans,followed by caucasians,no the question is personal hygiene,i swim in my pool every arvo,then shower-HOWEVER i use shower gel maybe once or twice a week,no one has ever said i smell,my hair ,i may shampoo once a month,hair is self cleaning,and you are loosing it because of to much shampoo.I am 55 and have hair a 30 year old would be happy with,glossy,sun kissed,and very few greys,hey i don't deserve greys,i intake at least 5 can's of cider a day,guess what this fixed my tooth decay, i eat once a day and always include a sweet after dinner,maybe a pastry or a chocolate bar washed down by water,a glass of urine in the morning always invigorates me,as to the op i am sure the Thai's would much rather be smelling the oils applied no doubt by a reputable massuer,than the stink of bo.even i recoil at that after 7 years.Asians do not generally have it due to genetics,they sweat much less than us never have i had a Thai girl that smelt bad,anyway i think the op would be pleasant in the bts due his veritable cacophoney of oils ,and aftershaves.

What a great, informative post Marko.

 

I don't want to get this wrong as I might try it myself. Does your intake of cider cure rotten teeth? I've only got 5 left (2 on top and 3 on bottom) and I'm pulling them out about one a year. Don't go to dentists as I don't thrust 'em. I have to put apples in the blender or I can't eat them. A carpenter friend was making me some dentures from bamboo, but he was taking so long. Another tooth had gone, and he had to start again.

 

Is that your own urine Marko or someone elses? Interesting! I'll have a word with the wife.

Well my own,due to an absense of cows around here,cow urine is best,keep it chilled overnight,and then ,man what a rush,but clean the teeth after.
