I’d joke about it with other Thai’s and they’d laugh about it it too.... 5 Baht in the ear, Pack of Cigarettes under their t-shirt on their shoulder, ya-dom up a nostril, woman’s hair-band holding the hair back, t-shirt hitched up exposing the belly to cool down !!!

Kerryd Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 It was to pay for a ride on a baht bus (5 baht for Thais). Used to be quite common in Pattaya to see girls (and some guys) with a coin in their ear but like many other fads and fashions, it faded away over time.

Good question, never been able to work that one out. The uni skirts generally don't have belt loops. The belts aren't really functional, they just sit at the top of the skirts. The clips keep the ends in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mystery, it was simply a way of keeping their bus fare. Years ago I saw younger guys with 10-baht coins in their ear. (Probably easier to keep it there than 6 baht 50...)
