This is a downside?

Hawaiian shirts in Thailand should be banned. Johnny Foreigner in jodhpurs are out. Fat men without shirts are out. Israeli trousers with lots pockets - out. Any clothing deliberately chosen to make you look like like a tourist instead of a normal member of society - out again.

He is smiling.

This is a facial expression that happy people display.

I would guess his policy is to dress to please himself.

Seems to be very content.

More power to him.

The 2 hotties on the back of the pec are more the business, but they seem a bit overdressed ? 😜

Very controlling Purdey.

Do you wear the make believe govt ฿20 Shop military uniform on Mondays?

Complete with fake medals?

Point taken. But is this OK?

Hard to visualize. Post photos of your bottom being accessed. On second thought, don't!

My first trip to Thailand I wore jeans and polo shirts. That was a big mistake. I figured since that is what I wore in Texas I would be fine. I was wrong.

My second trip I bought some lightweight ripstop cotton cargo shorts and some quick drying cargo pants as well as a bunch of compression shirts. While I'm no Charles Atlas, I'm also not seriously overweight so I looked okay. The only downside was the young ladies constantly pinching my nipples.

Other than that I bought a bunch of low rise socks and wore Topsiders most of the time.

Who's Charles Atlas?

Most guys pay extra for it. In fact, that's why many of them fly 12+ hours plus to get here. Explain the downside in that?

I wear good quality T Shirts, board shorts and a fur lined jock strap which gives me the feeling of ball to ball carpet. Seriously I'm very casual around my house but I do wear the appropiate clothing when I go to funerals and other more serious events within my Thai family.

I mean, who doesn't, right?

For work (farm visits) lightweight long trousers with so many cargo pockets I can never find my keys, company polo shirt with T shirt under to prevent the sweaty falang look, 'off-road crocs' (croc copies with decent grip) .... they are washable and protect my toes and nobody cares what you look like on a farm.

Leisure - I do like a vintage Hawaiian shirt and cotton shorts, I just can't help it

For holidays - matching Chang 'wife beater' vest over swim shorts for me and over bikini for her. She looks significantly better than me in a vest 😄

I've never seen local girls (I don't mean prostitutes) pinching farang men's nipples. And I doubt if I ever will.

Well now, that got nasty fast. Straight to personal and political, too. At least you didn’t completely lose it.

His comment was light. Plus the topic is pants and satire. Keep it light.

And Spandex? PLEASE! Wearing that should be a capital offense.

Wearing Spandex is a privilege not a right.

I have found these 3/4 length cotton cargo pants very good for daily wear....Lazada has them....They are constructed well, cut well & no unsightly bulging pockets....

I don't like synthetic clothes in this climate.....

I have a full range of slacks/pants choices ranging from Levis to a tux, but for daily casual wear these are my first choice.....

My comment was based on pulling your plonker.

I reckon you should try a wee bit harder.

...at not bringing up politics I mean, not pulling your plonker.

That 3/4 leg length is called the French 'capri' cut. It's for girls and men who shave their legs.

3XL eh?

Your Masters being decimated has unhinged you even more. Glad you think of my plonker.

Obviously elephant pants and shirt is the outfit to wear in Thailand.

But truly when I see a guy wearing elephant pants and shirt (not sure if I like matching or contrasting colors best) and an eat the world grin on his face, I know he is having a blast no matter what anyone thinks.

What is really memorable is a little tourist group with all members attired this way, a sight to behold.

There seem to be a lot of pajama type outfits being worn by men these days.

Colorful print shirts with matching shorts, you gotta be cool to pull that off.

So, sadly, I won't be trying.

Is that the bra thing that the bloke in Bavaria wears?🙃🙃

I'm the same height and few kg heavier. I can confirm that leg shaving isn't worth it unless you're a triathlete.

And that's a Thai 3XL of course, my mistake.
