Not only the one wheeled scooter. Since when did we start to go on motorbikes, bicycles and other vehicles shirtless on public roads. Have we really lost our pride, dignity and respect soo much? 

I think it was the 'stern' warning which scared him shirtless....😋

I think there is a 'line' in the sand, but that line varies depending upon how close a person is to the sand... 

 

Yeah, it can be that simple. Or even more simple. I think it all comes down to self-respect.

I look in the mirror these days and no long have the physique I had a few years ago...   

 

....  Its not self respect that prevents me from going shirtless, quite the opposite !!!!   

 

 

 

Jokes aside - I think your point is spot on... Its about self respect and respect for ones surroundings...   this carries for not just how we dress, but also how we behave and interact.

Well its actually deemed as an insult and extremely rude in Thailand, maybe if you want to stay here, along with many others, you might want to be respectful of Thai culture instead of being a yob !!!

So, you have never seen Thai men in the village walking around with no shirt?

Come to Koh Samui. Plenty here.

He's a Farang, easy target, easy money, no repercussions. Thai locals are ignored, business as usual.

 

What money? He was warned. Are any locals riding these vehicles? Bias as usual.
