Any 6 feet (180 cm) people finding themselves too tall in Thailand?

Motorcycles, farangs on rented Honda Waves look just ridiculous.

 

Honda Waves are actually for big Thais. Smaller Thais ride those little motor scooters where you can put your feet down on the floor, typically for Thai women with shorter legs.

BTW subways in the West aren't any higher than the BTS. Most men from a place like Amsterdam won't fit upright through Western subway doors. Furniture, cars etc in the West are made in Asia, by Asians, for Asians and according to Asian standards.

 

Just be glad that Mr. Wang is making your furnutire and cars, not Somchai, because the Chinese are a head taller than the Thais. It's common for taller Chinese and Koreans to be in the 180-185 cm range, so they will generally build things to accomodate people up to 190 cm or so.

 

But Somchai thinks that the maximum possible human height is 175-179 cm and builds everything accordingly.
