wwest5829 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) Blue Planet bag ... easily seen in the malls. Back pocket, iPad, paper for jotting things down. Inside this pocket is a zippered pocket where I keep my Passport, bank books. Outside back pocket holds my keys. Large inside pocket, wallet with credit cards, medical cards and cash, reading glasses, iPhone, small card holder for Makro, BigC, 1Card, etc., small flashlight, phone/iPad charger, earphones. In front of the main pocket is another, tissues, camping roll of TP, cloth kerchief, folding Japanese hand fan. Ha there is another zippered pocket on the front where I keep a couple of bandaids, toothpicks. What can I tell you ... Be Prepared was the Motto ... OK, OK but I am not in danger of leaving it and I do not frequent dicey places ... anymore. B9921 looks close.

Yellowtail Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 4 hours ago, Lacessit said: Much more convenient for when I draw 100,000 baht for living expenses, pockets are too small. I have a bigger man bag for when I draw larger amounts. I would not be surprised if some posters use them to hold KY and condoms. I also have a man cave. What do you wear that you can't get 100K in your pocket, Speedos? That's only one bundle of bills. I regularly get 30K in my wallet, and I could easily get at least 600K in my two front pockets. Oh, and I have a card in my wallet (that I keep in my back pocket) that holds about four million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water, sunglasses, reading glasses, a raincoat, a small umbrella, snacks, etc. Very practical. I don't care one iota what others think of me. You think I look gay? Where I come from in New York, that is considered a compliment, by all but the most insecure of men. Don't like my look? So what? Means less than zero to me. None of that is a factor. There are alot of good ones out there. Have a couple by pacsafe. 3000 baht and up. Worth it. Brilliant post! Especially where you say "Don't like my look? So what? Means less than zero to me" Abso-bloody-lutely!!! Anyone who wastes their time and energy worrying about MY appearance is a very sad individual and can "do one" By the way, i have a very similar bag to yours - ideal when flying and going through security.

Dude, you do not need me to validate you, if you want to carry a man-bag carry one, it makes no nevermind to me. And to be clear, when I go shopping, I also carry a bag (typically rolled up in my left front pocket) but honestly, I don't spend much time checking out the ladyboys and the number of "straight" guys with man-bags.

Cannot image why you want a single thin strap cutting into your shoulder when you can use a backpack with padded straps when travelling.

Gknrd Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 When I was in Thailand I had a man bag for years. She was a great gal. "Hey baby put this in your bag" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnative Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Yes, I own one and never leave home without it. Don't know what I did before they became popular. In my man bag you will find: cell phone, wallet, spare masks, throat spray for polluted days, spare coins, kleenex, pen, small notepad, MRT and BTS fare cards, keycard to open the Bangkok condo door and operate the elevator, cloth tape measure, salt and pepper packets, Equal packets, a foldable shopping bag, and a few Werther's caramels. Sometimes passport and bank books if I am doing banking. Can't imagine trying to stuff all that into my pockets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
