Just thought I'd share the views of my tutor, a well educated Thai whom I respect very much.

That's good. Yesterday I respect mine three times after lunch.

Just an observation, but seems more than a few AN members think about other folks' penis a bit too much.  Wonder why that is ?

 

Note to self:  wait to get home or back to the room, before using public restroom.

I will concur with the many posts saying Thais have smaller penises than most Westerners. Based on personal observation. And (although this will make me vulnerable to ridicule, I'm sure) I actively try to look at as many penises as possible.

 

Which leads me to a question no one can answer (maybe because I can't figure out who I could ask!):

 

I used to live in Hong Kong. Chinese men, in general, are about as open as can be in public restrooms. You can usually see whatever there is to see. They also don't consider it odd to select the urinal right next to a person even if there are many other options. My hypothesis is that there are so many Chinese in such compact places that they're just used to have no privacy. So why do Thai men practically hug the urinals and desperately try to make sure nothing is visible? First of all, how do they prevent splashing their clothes with urine? And secondly, why so conscious about what's visible? I figure if someone wants to look, let them look. And if nobody wants to look, it doesn't matter what I do. Admittedly, I say this as a person who *would* prefer to look . . .

 

So there it is. Or rather, usually there it *isn't.*

Meh... give me a tall, loud, assertive and opinionated Dutch girl any day over these bland, Thai 'up to you' fake princesses.

Blond heifers with thighs like tree trunks and body odor emanating from their preference for raw herring and chopped onion. No thanks.

Most guys would take co-operation over opinions any day of the week.

I suppose they would not be loud if one kept their mouths full.

Yep, some manufacturers add less water, some more water.

It was once the case that Thais, and East Asian people generally, were smaller than westerners, but less so these days. A visit to an old Thai house will reveal less headroom in doorways etc.

I don't know how the show managed to get on the air. It's a UK show. A "contestant" chooses someone to go on a date with based on their looks. There are 6 or 7 people (I've only seen a couple of episodes, so I'm not entirely sure) totally naked behind a door, which reveals each person from the bottom up. So yes, the host and contestant discuss the relative merits of what they're seeing as the door stops midway and then just below the head. The sex of the people behind the doors depends on the preference of the contestant. Usually, half the show is a woman choosing a man and the other half is a man choosing a woman. But there have been women choosing women, men choosing men, and a contestant having people of both sexes to choose from.

 

The idea of choosing a date based on their genitalia seems extraordinarily bizarre to me. On the positive side, I personally think that destigmatizing the human body is a good thing. If more people knew what other regular, normal people look like, there would be fewer body image issues. Well, in my opinion. Or not. I only have an opinion. No facts at all . . .

 

As far as entertainment goes, in my opinion, your life may be sheltered, but you're not missing much.

IMO you can put it down to just three brands - Maccas, KFC, and Pizza Hut. In Thailand, eating that garbage is also regarded as a status symbol.

I've never really been able to get my head around reality TV shows such as Married at First Sight, The Bachelor, Big Brother, MasterChef etc. Why people would consciously choose to publicly humiliate themselves is beyond my comprehension.

A former GF of mine doted on them, I would read a book.

Everything is too small for me now. Thailand is getting bigger but I'm still ahead of the changes. Being too big to fit became the end of me here.  Maybe I should change my name to TooBigForThailand.  And it's not even the physical things that are smaller. It's the regime and its thinking that keeps the nation from bettering things. The regime and old powers in Thailand is stuck in backwards small thinking.

 

Thailand certainly is a heavenly place for smaller people physically, but it's also a place for people who can accept less quality in their lives. As the song goes, you can't always get what you want but you can get you need, but not for those with bigger bodies and bigger desires and dreams. Finally Thailand is morally smaller when it comes to human rights and a lot of things.  It could be bigger and better but again it's trapped in apathy from leadership. 

 

The rest of the world isn't perfect either. Every place has its problems, especially nowadays. In the end, some people just grow out of things. Many grow too big for Thailand.
