Is it okay to be shirtless ( barechested) for a man doing exercise in a park?

[scubascuba3]

Could just do what this fat American did at Presidents Cup, no shame, like the guys going shirtless in Pattaya

Hmmm, perhaps you have an unhealthy phobia on the subject...????...

[SpaceKadet]

Shirtless is one thing, but Crocks and showing underwear definitely a no no.

No wonder Thais don't like us very much...

Looks staged to me ....

[Myran]

No, it's not appropriate. No shirt is okay at the beach or at the pool, but pretty much nowhere else. People who walk around in public places without a shirt is looked down upon, and rightly so.

I see shirtless foreigners exercising in lumpini frequently.  I really do think it is a matter of anesthetics. You already know if taking your shirt off is a good idea.

Most mornings I'm down jomtien beach. 

 

Some of the elderly guys going for their morning walk shirtless. 

The sight is sickening. 

 

Should be a law against it.

No I don't, but then again I am not a people watcher, or a photo watcher...????

[userabcd]

On the Sukhumvit line BTS the other day, 2 elderly gentlemen with pot bellies got on the train wearing tank vests with shorts and both had tattooed arms.

 

My goodness, do they really think they look good like that.

Only to a people watcher, try to break the habit....????

 

Remember, we all get old, but still want to do our thing, without others pointing fingers...????

can't you do your thing with a shirt on? too much to ask? no one wants to see your wrinkled droopy nipples and gut

Well it is quite hard when on a train not to be aware of ones surroundings and they did stand out from everyone on the carriage.

ideally I'd prefer women to be shirtless, but failing that at least braless

Only women with breast that aren't sagging at all.

Is it not illegal to be shirtless in a public park?

 

A guy was arrested for not wearing a shirt in a Bangkok park and was jailed for 50 years.

OK, after being arrested for not wearing a shirt they found 5M THB of Ecstasy drug sown into his trousers.

That's where we differ, I personally would only remember a bird with big boobs, my head is sort of tuned to locate them.

Fat blokes, naaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, not my thing, though to some here, it might be... ....????

Well, I do have a tie of course in my wardrobe ????  I only wear it on more formal occasions than walking on the beach, such as visiting 7/11...

Who sez Thais don't like 'us' very much? I'm a bit of cult figure round my neighbourhood,  and I did spell cult correctly! ????????

[Aussieroaming]

I have seen some Thai's running at Chatuchak Park without shirts. Depends on the mood of the Security Sloths.

Was from Southampton, the Manc was a young lad caught at the airport about the same time.

Seems like they have been working out and watching their diet and are showing off their bodies and are looking for attention and admiration and treating the local girls to a view how sexy they are, even showing off their underpants

I'm not really that fused, shirt or shirtless. 

 

It's actually really good to see everyone out and about, exercising and enjoying themselves. 

 

I like the atmosphere, you say good morning and you get a reply. 

Reminds of when I was living in Brisbane and Vung Tau lots of exercise facilities for those wanting to improve their health. 

 

I'm not the sharpest knife in the draw but I do know taking care of yourself is a first priority. I often wonder, how smart people become obese, they should know better, why not look after yourself? ????

 

Just a few hours of exercise a week will keep you alive for many years more.

As you are a self proclaimed "not the sharpest tool in the box" I will let you know that its unhealthy to have bare skin in the sun, especially when the sun is hot . 

   Better to keep skin covered for various reasons

I wonder how smart people can have stupid fad diets, one the other day, just eating meat, they lose some weight and think it's a success

Yes lots of strange things going on. 

I'm confused. 

 

Who grades smartness.?

 

I reckon it's one of the dumbest things you can do is to not look after your health, take care of yourself, it's free.

Life is too short, keep fit and enjoy this short time we have on planet earth.

 

Diabetes is killing so many of these obese people.

Dying early due to lack of exercise is very selfish, your family, loved one's will miss you.

Daily sunlight on your bare skin is actually extremely healthy for you.

You want/need  about 20 minutes of your bare skin in the sun daily, best if soaked in midday between hours of 8 and noon to get healthy natural vitamin D production for your body.

 

The sun helps our bodies produce and absorb Vitamin D.

 

Vitamin D is beneficial for your immune system, bone health, and mood. Vitamin D also helps speed up metabolism and increases metabolism.

 

Getting sun in the morning also helps stabilize your circadian rhythm which improves your sleep quality and energy. At night the dark triggers our brains produce melatonin which is needed for sleep and recovery.

 

During the day the sunlight triggers our brains to produce serotonin which is needed for energy and vitality.

 

Getting into the sun in the morning tells our brain that it’s day time and that it’s time to start producing serotonin. 

The Serotonin produced from sun exposure also helps improve our moods and may even help with mild depression. 

 

Studies have also shown that sun exposure improves brain function.

 

Can you get vitamin D through clothes?

 

NO. This is not true, as the only way to trigger the chemical reaction that results in vitamin D production is for sunlight to reach your skin directly. Wearing clothes, or even sunscreen for that matter, blocks the sun's UV rays and limits vitamin D production.

5 Other Benefits

• The sun's light kills bacteria. 
• Sunlight reduces your blood pressure. ...
• Limited Sun exposure reduces cancer risk. ...
• The sun strengthens your bones. ...
• Sunlight improves your sleep quality.

Like all things though.  Moderation is the key and not going all George Hamilton and  becoming leather face.
