June 10, 20241 yr She was probably expecting a long, oval-shaped custard donut. Now she's probably pondering divorce. Can't say I blame her.
June 10, 20241 yr It's more of a funny story between you and your wife than a story that's remotely funny to anyone else in any way. But it's nice that you're in love. At BKK, Airport yesterday, there was a very long line for Crispy Creme Donuts. I put it down to the flat box they come in; there's always room for it in the overhead luggage compartments. It's a loophole free add-on to the carry-on allowance, like fake duty-free is.

I never understood the whole Krispy Kreme donut phenomenon. I remember when I saw the first branch open in Paragon in 2010 and all the people lining up. I think it was a soft opening in fact and people were only allowed to purchase a limited quantity. I thought "wait what is this?" then I thought "no, they are lining up like that for foonkin donuts?". I was at a loss for words. I was sure it was just a passing phase (as with many things that are popular for only the first minute in the hub of trendy). Sadly, I was wrong though: Also, don't think I would be pleased at all if someone showed up at my door from the airport wielding a box of fried dough drowned in sugar.

It's why I wear a polo shirt with a little alligator on it. It's for them, not for me. I pay double for the polo shirt so that they can feel better interacting with me. I def notice an uptick in cheeriness. At least 4 times, they have said: "Special edition, 5000 baht". I save that one for special occasions.

I save that one for special occasions. It is brand-obsessed, but so is most of Asia. That was another thing that struck me when I first came to Thailand. People didn't seem to mind showing off all their branded stuff. In fact, they often pay a lot of money to act as a walking advertisement for many of these meaningless brands. But in the West this behavior would stick out as being cliched and pretentious. Where I came from the people with money were often the worst dressed to avoid drawing attention. So I was certainly not used to the phenomenon in Asia. Being low key and subtle was always my approach. Not in the hub of bling though. I definitely don't want any extra attention. So you'll find me only in 100 Baht T-shirts now. Guess that poser who just had his US$170K watch swiped off his wrist in Frankfurt learned one lesson the hard way about how needlessly trying to show off and get attention can also have its downsides.
June 10, 20241 yr I live in Nimman, Chiang Mai. I am also being judged and appraised by swarms of Chinese and Korean people living here. I def notice a diff than if I'm wearing a Uniqlo back tee shirt. Might be a good idea for a thread: Have you dressed up or down since moving to Thailand? Next up for me: more long pants-wearing.
June 10, 20241 yr Everytime we pass a durian stall I feel a gentle but firm grasp of my wrist to let me know he's pondering... 😘

I used to hang out up there well before the regional Asian invasion. It was quaint. Some nice quiet restaurants. Can't imagine what it's like now. I dress however I feel comfortable. That's the beauty of not having to care what anyone thinks. I was recently in Japan, picked up a couple of pairs of high quality long pants at Uniqlo at 50% off sale. ¥2,000 a pair. Would have cost ฿2000 a pair for the same pants in Thailand.
