Popular Post Fortean1 Posted September 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2021 In 13 years living in Thailand I have relied on family to bring my favorite underarm deodorant. Those 'mules' have not come since the summer of 2017. My favorite is Old Spice. See: https://oldspice.com/ What are worthwhile underarm deodorants here in Thailand? I've tried Top Country and find it has a faint smell of something. The television commercials show two guys wearing fake horse heads.

scubascuba3 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Despite the average smell of Top Country i still reckon it's the best, usually it's 38 baht for 60 ml, others seem to be smaller 30ml for 70+ baht and don't roll as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jonathan Fairfield Posted September 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2021 Terry, get yourself off to Boots in Market Village and pick up Nivea Dry Impact.

LomSak27 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Of the local products I use Nivea for men Stress protect. Looks like the pic above, but liquid. They market a bunch of brands. Still, I have to look a bit to find that exact one. I do not know what stores are in Hua Hin, but I ran into some Old Spice 'Pure Sport' a couple months back. I am in CM, so either in Tops or Rimping market, I forget the exact store, but I picked one up So it is out there.

KannikaP Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I use Gillette Endurance gel, bought a lot last time in UK for £2 at Superdrug. Same thing (or fake) on Lazada for Bht 400. The last lot I bought said 24 hour protection, but now it is 48 hours. Someone tell me how it works please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TooPoopedToPop Posted October 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2021 Speed Stick (Musk) is widely available here and reasonably priced. It's a manly scent, not fruity or feminine in any way, if that's what you want. To each his own. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted October 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2021 Rexona - an antiperspirant deodorant (which falls under the Sure brand in the UK) - the issue is that its 162 Baht per can which is outrageously expensive compared to the UK (and other countries). As far as actually Smelling nice: 2-3 showers per day.... underarm deodorant, then Usually 'Clinque Happy’ ETD on the clothes (perhaps the Clinique is a a bit fruity for ‘manly men’ here - its fresh and the wife likes it). But nothing really stops me sweating in this humidity - Yesterday I adjusted the chain on my motorcycle and came back in the house 15 mins later ’sodden’. Put a bike rack on the car (took an hour of messing around) - was pished wet through to the under-crackers with sweat ! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internationalism Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 not deodorant, but plain hospital alcohol from 35b/litre or more expensive alcohol jelly for disinfecting hands. Fill up any diffusing bottle. I have one constantly on my computer desk. Another one in the car, that one is also used for car disinfection. For scent you can use essential oils (which would also enhance disinfection effect) or aftershave. Same would freshen up your face, clean hands before meal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try it and you'll never hear "farang men" again as long as you're here. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really tempted by Mach Man if only for the name. Under arms and around the wedding tackle. Well 'ard. I imagine it to smell of a Formular 1 pit lane , petrol ,grease and burning rubber.

userabcd Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Remember old spice and brut being very smelly in the 70's early 80's. Surprised they make them anymore. Found Boots deodorants are quite good and work well for me in Thailand's climate. Edited October 1, 2021 by userabcd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to do that as well but he can order that and other US products on Shopee. I have also picked it up at Central Lad Prao or Mall Namawan in Bkk in the imported products isle. Also seen at Villa Market and other expat/tourist stores. I prefer the anti persirant solid stiks or spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwanajohn Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 The skin is the largest organ of the body and performs multiple functions to keep our bodies healthy and regulated. .Can you imagine spraying some chemical on your heart or liver to interfere with its function. Never understood the use of deodorant. 1 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaan sailor Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I stay away from the ever present Nivea deodorants because they contain an aluminium derivative. It sets off the jacked up TSA alarms when I go through the airport scans at JFK. Took me several trips to realise what set off the alarm—similar to the composition of gun powder or some kind of explosive, I think. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lokie Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I dont bother much with under arm sprays/roll ons... Iv always found best (for me anyway) is Trusty Tin of Snake Brand Talc - Original Lavender or the newer Red can... get it anywhere - 7/11s, Mom n Pop shops etc... and deffo No1 for Jock itch or Sweaty Nads lol... Great for keeping these areas dry & comfortable If never tried before Do Not Over Do it around your Knackers as you will have some interesting results 555 Clinique Happy is a great fresh smelling Citrus daytime fragrance (after a shower or gym) just a little though, been wearing that since a GF back in UK bought me some and I was hooked from then, Hugo Boss do a similar smelling scent but is not as good and is higher priced.
