Popular Post snoop1130 Posted July 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2023 Thai netizens expressed their admiration and laughed at two foreign women who mistook Thai-style bamboo sticky rice steamers for hats. They bought them from a local vendor who could not communicate very well due to the language barrier. A Thai man named Surat Seehabut shared pictures of the two European women wearing hats which looked like weaving baskets. The caption said… “At a local grocery shop, the foreign customers inquired, “What is this?” and pointed at the sticky rice steamer. The vendor informed them, “This is a หวด (Huad which means sticky rice steamers).” They might have misheard “huad” as “hat” so they bought them.” The post quickly gained over 4,700 reactions and 5,000 shares from Thai netizens. Many of them expressed their admiration for the foreigners but several could not help but chuckle at their adorable fashion choice in the comments section… “That is a great idea. It can protect them from the sun! Multipurpose haud!” By Petch Petpailin Caption: Photo by สุรัตน์ ศรีหะบุตร via Facebook/ ข่าวสาร - คนไทรน้อย_นนทบุรี Full Story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/lost-in-translation-foreign-women-turn-thai-rice-steamers-into-hilarious-hats -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-07-31 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

From this angle, it appears the eccentric head wear isn't helping their rather rubenesque presence. They need to stay away from the McDs and KFC. Farang.... ???? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsxrnz Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Dollars to donuts the women were Brits and assumed the baskets were a Thai version of a pith helmet. Traditional British tropical headgear - back in the day of the Raj. The size of their rear ends is further confirmation of them being Brits. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangkokReady Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Why not tell them the error they had made, rather than take photos and share them online for people to laugh at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume a Thai took the pics, and Thais, well, prefer to talk about other people, not to them... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Maybe they knew exactly what they were buying them for. Good for keeping both the sun and rain off. Not unusual for Thais to also wear what I would guess is equally uncomfortable headgear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the jungle Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 ....said the Thais who use plastic bags as hats in the rain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
