Tell us what pool you swim in so that we can avoid it. Two days wearing the same shirt? Take your missus for a nasal test. Her sense of smell must have gone or she is telling you lies.

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. 

Are you changing your clothes not EVERY day???😳🤢

Arab or Indian?

Hindus are very clean! That's where the Thais get it from  (Buddhism is from Hinduism). But sadly, armpits seem not to be included in Muslim's five times a day pre-prayer ablutions!

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. 

You forgot the strongest of them all; somtam!

Me neither! I wear only a pair of shorts when mostly indoors all day.  So l only wear a shirt when I go out perhaps just for an hour or 3 in the evenings. So why be unecological wasting water and electricity washing them so much unnecessarily? I rotate three shirts so friends like you don't get stressed about it...555. P.S: I have always been fortunate in having very little B.O.

You and your friends' efforts to save the planet are not to be sniffed at.

What has this got to do with manners? And don't insult my friends!

It's not an insult but a fact. He doesn't want to change his clothes after outside in dust and (cigarette + food) smog. And this dirt he will like to have on his body again ??? Creepy.

Shower at least twice per day.

Put clothes in for washing after being outside in the heat.

Always wear fresh clothes.

Always wash clothes in antibacterial detergent.

Use deodeaunt.

 

Those are the basics - some may be fortunate and 'get away with it' but its more likely they just don't notice themselves...

Quite possible swimming in a pool 4 times a day, treated with chlorine, would remove BO.

 

OTOH, also possible breathing chlorine 4 times a day has killed his sense of smell.

Don't forget to destroy, burn even all your old shirts, they will have BO impregnated that is impossible to remove and gets triggered when you wear again, all people with bad BO have this.

 

Edit, don't give to charity

What have you done so far to try and get it back? Have you tried alerting everyone you know? You may need to report it to the police to help widen the search.

      Is It Better to Date a “6” Than a “10” in Thailand?

      You mean like a 3? But my wallet is definitely a solid 12!

      DTV visa extension

      This isn't what I asked, you said that you had Thai friends that lost their business due to immigration denying people entry and what immigration is doing is illegal. As I said what immigration is doing is not illegal, they will ask for onward ticket, see cash, etc if you dont have any of these they will refuse you entry, all valid, nothing to do with covering their tracks, it's procedure. But this isn't the point, I asked how did this effect your Thai friends in loosing their business due to immigration? As I dont believe that many people are turned away. This isn't something new immigration is doing, it's been going on for decades. Meanwhile Thailand keeps hitting new record highs for tourist numbers.

      Is It Better to Date a “6” Than a “10” in Thailand?

      I don't date long time any more in TH. I pay for short-times with 8s and above from time to time instead. In another country with pussy more abundant and cheaper, I might have long term relationships with top-tier girls. But I'd have to live in such a country. The price of pussy is not the only factor when it comes to choosing a country to settle in. If it were we'd all be chasing long-term visas in some African countries. Dating down so that the woman is less of a headache and less of a hole in one's budget? Easier said than done. Whenever I've tried to do so I've regretted it instantly. I couldn't wait to be alone again. If short-time with a top-tier girl goes up, let's say to 200 dollars, from now "only" 100 dollars, I may consider leaving Thailand though. Everything is a trade-off but some point may be reached at which it's not worth it any more.

      Japan dethrones Thailand as top tourist spot

      Ok maybe for people who like cities and have no social skills or are highly introverted, an East Asian city could be the preferred place. I prefer to be around actual humans somewhere that's by the coast in the tropics or up in the mountains. Moving from Europe to sit in a Japanese city, that is a rip off of Western European cities (like pretty much all major cities now) just doesn't do it for me, but hey everyone has their own preferences I suppose.

      Is It Better to Date a “6” Than a “10” in Thailand?

      It's well known that 10s are an entitled nightmare to date. Inside and outside of Thailand. But would you date an ugly lwoman just so that you don't have to deal with other guys hitting on her? Probably not. So why date a 6 for LTR? I just can't do it. I can't live with myself if I see her and just feel disappointed due to her looks. Yes, integrity is a massive problem with 10s, yes, bedroom performance too, yes, everything in the OP post is true. But I still would prefer a 10 over a 6 for LTR.

      Saudia Airlines - Choose Carefully

      Mods, feel free to move this if its in the wrong place. Flights being expensive I booked a split flight for my forthcoming visit - thinking I was saving a substantial amount. The split was using Saudia Airlines outbound from the UK and Qatar on the way back. Not using Qatar both ways means foregoing my usual gold card entitlements on the outbound. I'm not being snobby - when you've had those entitlements for many years, having lounge access and not having to queue with 300 other people at check in really makes a difference but OK, I'll live with that this one time. The stopover in Riyadh is quite a long one and a quick check revealed that I could get 3 hours of lounge access for £27 through Expedia - not too bad, or so I thought (its now gone up to £35). My Saudia flight arrives at terminal 4 in Riyadh and departs from the same terminal. The only lounge in that terminal is the Alfursan lounge which is for Saudia's first, business and gold members only. When attempting to book the lounge access with Expedia, I noticed the Plaza Premium Lounge they are selling access to is located at terminal 2. So before booking I checked with the airline as to whether I could travel between terminal 4 and 2. Not without a visa or an electronic visa waiver I can't and the cost of that is £45. Before calling the airline I searched for an answer online but only came up with a lot of discusssion from people who had been told they could not go between the terminals without a visa and others who claimed they had done just that. However, as a result of that search I came across some Trustpilot reviews on the airline itself - they did not make good reading. To add to that there is no alcohol allowed on the flight and none in the lounges if I was prepared to fork out for one or could even use one. So Saudia land you at a terminal where you cannot gain access to a lounge. You can't even use a paid lounge unless you are also prepared to pay for the visa waiver - seems very wrong to me. That's my experience pre-flight, I'm hoping is doesn't go downhill from here - I'll just have to suck it up this time. The imposing of Islamic laws on international travellers had already made my mind up that this would be my first and last flight with Saudia but this latest thing over lounge access has sealed that decision. There will no doubt be those amongst you who may have had a pleasant experience with this airline but I'm not expecting good things. I've only travelled with either Etihad or Qatar for many years and this has confirmed why. It just goes to show, check out an airline before you travel - 12 - 14 hours + stopovers is a long time, just be sure you are aware of any pitfalls before you choose an airline you're not familiar with. I normally review check any large purchase I make, god knows why I didn't on this occasion.
