Make that "chump" instead of "champ". ‘Champ’ is an Aussie slur, origination from the prisons of Victoria… A few etymological reasons, not sure which is correct: 1) Rhyming with ‘tamp’ (tamper ; to tamper with) & is basically calling someone a kiddie fiddler. 2) Someone who performs in return oral for ‘champion ruby tobacco’.. it’s basically more offensive than the ‘c-bomb’ to Australians… So, in this context ‘only if you feel like a champ’ is perhaps apt… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herfiehandbag Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Frankly no. It is regarded by Thai culture as extremely rude. It gives great offence. Even when on my most Adonis like form I would not dream of so doing. Edited August 22, 2023 by herfiehandbag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why that particular element of "Thainess" is no longer promoted. I am only mildly curious to learn if it was primarily Christian Missionary pressure, as is documented in so many other cultures, or if it was a Thai motivated change primarily to be seen as an advancing country.

Thanks There's a time & place for everything. At a beach or holiday type location, then do as you please. But in a metro area, as implied with photos in OP, probably not. Thinking back, I've never went topless if strolling around Philly, no matter how brutally hot it was. Around my urban home town (suburbia Philly), yes, or just a shirt unbuttoned was more like it, just as I do here quite a bit, if not trying to avoid the sun, which has been my thing lately, where we live now/PKK. Of late if sun's out, it's been long sleeves & pants, on the scooter and walking around, as I was looking a bit too much like a chocolate person.

khunPer Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 There might be other unwritten acceptable rules for Thais, than for foreigners. It's not well-seen dress code, especially in town or city areas, while it's accepted in beachfront tourist destinations by the beach area that foreign men walks with naked breasts.

Photoguy21 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 To expose more of your body to the sun? Really? Doesnt sound a very clever thing to do when all hot countries advise covering up to reduce the risk of heat stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
