Been in Thailand for one week and my BO (body odour) has disappeared?

[rocket2]

Not sure if it is change of diet or the stress free lifestyle?  Or maybe using the hotel pool 4 times per day? I have been wearing my shirts 2 days and they don’t smell. Wife has said the same thing. 
 

I was several kilometres/hours a day and sweat but no stank.

Have others arrived at the same conclusion?

 

If you smelled your own BO it must have been truly powerful.

Did you shower in your home country?

[Woke to Sounds]

Are you from the West? Food is laced with phyto-toxins. Not so much in Thailand. Plus, it's plausible your stress has decreased.

Your culture produces a lot of trolls as well.

From Canada. Lots of processed  foods and colours and preservatives.  It is true what they say about “you are what you eat”
 

work is fairly stress free but still 35 hours/week.

Pool chlorine killing the bacteria?

Please Sir keep us up to date on the body odor situation...We would not want to be left wondering...

I just looked up what a phytotoxin is. It is any substance that is toxic to plant growth.

 

This could be a herbicide or it could be a chemical produced by an insect, a microbe, the plant itself, etc.

 

No shortage of herbicide use or biodiversity here (insect/microbes/plants) I am binning the phytotoxin theory until further evidence is produced.

We had one in the army who had the same problem, but we teached him to shower and change clothes.

Not wearing shoes?Wearing only lose clothing and drinking more water?

Makes sense to me.

The fact you wear your shirts for 2 days after walking several hours a day makes it easy to see why you would have BO. Probably only gone now because of the 4 times a day in the pool chlorine 😉

 

On a serious note, I've only ever had BO when severely dehydrated. Drink loads of water and you may sweat lots but no BO. Maybe you've drank a lot more fluids here than in Canada due the heat?

No change in your body fragrance. You simply don't notice it due to the pungent aroma of fish sauce consumers around you.

 

You could run a marathon in a diving suit and be comparatively fresh as a daisy.

Your BO probably hasn't gone away but has been masked by a stronger smell of traffic fumes, pollution and cigarettes in this area which has bounded tightly to your clothes.

[john donson]

people are gladly immune to their own BO and your wife got used to it, same as laundry detergent or fragrances
