KannikaP Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) The very short cotton socks which one wears with trainers are to make it more comfortable, so not putting your 'sweaty' foot next to a synthetic insole. They are not meant to be seen, hence the shortness. But I agree, socks with sandals, flip-flops, long or short, are a no-no. The second photo with the red/green/black jobbies are OK. A fashion statement, or a Christmas/birthday present from a wife or GF. Edited January 21 by KannikaP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 A long time ago in a cold country far away I saw a movie. In it a guy was wearing moccasins without socks in cold weather. A girl in the movie fancied him and thought that looks very sexy. At that time, I thought, ok, let's try that. And I never wore socks again. In the hindsight I can't confirm that all girls were exited about this. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 IMO it is a good idea to wear socks in Thailand, due to the risk of opportunistic infections. Some years ago, I was just wearing sandals here. My right foot became infected with cellulitis, and it took a 10,000 baht course of intravenous antibiotic to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
