There could be Arab women who are not strictly religious, so it might require closer attention than just their clothes. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lokie Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Well I walk Patong beach every morning, the full length between 08.00 - 10.00. All these people flocking there must be late risers as lately its been pretty quiet. On the other hand music bars with live bands seem to attract lots of groups of particular tourists who like the music and dance but dont want to buy any drinks in the place...? The Thai Guards are quickly catching onto the issue it did appear last weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 holidays are only for those living in thailand, it would be them getting to beaches and resorts. For foreign tourists local thai holidays are meaningless. I see red flags on the beach, nobody suppose to be in the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I see is a woman sitting under a shade, doing nothing, which is the norm for these people on holiday. Maybe its some 'spot the ball' sort of contest.

Stargeezr Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Rainy season and high windy days are not when I like swimming in any ocean. Just saying that in November to March the seas and oceans can have much more pleasant weather for swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the complete opposite a few years back on Pattaya beach two Moslem women on a jet ski garbed up with head to toe black gear looking completely ridiculous, came straight through the protected area for swimmers when shouted at from the shore they turned around (seemingly not understanding a word) went straight back through the protected area luckily not many swimming that day!
