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

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.

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.
