Someone was asking about belts. I think trousers are more important.

As I wouldn´t walk around in shorts wherever I go in my home country, I have been taken it as a rule to keep also in Thailand.

Trousers are worn dependent on occasion and time, ie. Official, weddings, funerals, after dark as an example.

Great start to the New year, a 'what do you wear' topic, been a couple of months since we've had one. I'm sure it will turn into 'what to wear at immigration '.

Well done to the OP.

Just guess I am a little bit more adaptive to the circumstances of climate change then. Also looks like you are in minority with only about 33% according to your own poll.

Climate change is a hoax. The climate of this planet has been changing for 4.5 billion years. It's only very recently that people started to be concerned with it and forced their children to be outspoken about the matter in the hope of getting some YouTube income.

Never worn trousers since I've been living in Thailand. Or underwear!

Have to agree , Not what you look like in a dress but when I am ready to go out and see myself in shorts I tend to say what a teacher said about 60 years ago  ' Put them away boy nobody wants to see them '.   72 yo legs in shorts ...no ..really.

I think that "House of the Long Shadows" was the only movie where all three appeared together. Of course I could be wrong (and I often am).

Totally agree. The climate crisis 'debate' is being financed by the plastics industry as a huge deflection from the very, very real threat that they present to the global environment.

Your legs couldn't be any skinnier than mine and I wear shorts all the time. I've just reached an age when I really don't give a rats rectum what other people think.

Only wear shorts at home , very very rarely wear shorts out ,except if walking for exercise in the morning .

just like wearing a shirt and trousers ,always have ,dont get hot and sweaty ,must be lucky .

Nor my fat hairy legs.

For the same reason, I wear neither underwear nor trousers in Thailand. Shorts, T shirt/polo shirt and shoes. Why wear anything else?

If you want to keep down a job it's probably a good idea to wear trousers to work.

 

Of course, if you're working for a socks-and-sandals style of tech startup or self-employed then the rules don't apply.


But, if you're in the corporate world, trousers/pants are a must.

Jeans are also acceptable as business-casual, but depends on the company.

 

It's image over everything else in Thailand.
