I think my ballsweat stinks, too.

Thank you kindly for sharing. Gifts come in all forms. My day is absolutely completely now.

I will be sending @georgegeorgia over to your place to conduct further field research and gather statistics on said intel. He will be adding it to his ongoing field report on bad smelling foreigners in Thailand and all the unusual places they are able to generate peculiar forms of BO.

Be prepared for a bit of sniffing and prodding. It shouldn't hurt too much. The ladyboys regularly attest that is he has gotten rather good at his job.

    I've phoned 191 and given them your address. They asked me what's the emergency. I told them they will find out as soon as they show up. They said they are on their way.

    It's a question of semantics, Cole. Both are correct in their proper places. Incidentally, coming from someone whose middle name is "BO" made a reply obligatory.

How can Farang/Gaijin truly know if their personal body odor might be objectionable to Thai People?



Dear Folks,


Have you ever read the books by Clavell?

Well, if you have, then you will recall that Clavel told us that the Japanese Pople found Farng Smells objectionable, back in the day.


Do you believe me?


Yes, it’s true.


And so, I also wonder if Farang guys have different smells.


And, just how do their GFs deal with these different smells.



Has your GF ever told you that she finds your smell objectionable?


This is NOT a JOKE POST, of course; this Topic is based on classical literature that I have read.


Maybe you eat too much sauerkraut, for example, and who knows?


But, I am sure that your GF, at least in the beginning, probably finds your smell, the smell of a Farang, to be just a bit offputting, at first, until she begins to love it.


Years ago, in China and Taiwan, my GFs insisted that they loved my smell.

They told me my smell was unique.

Sort of like.....UMAMI.....

So, has your GF ever told you that you smell different?


And, why does she prefer your smell, compared to other men?’


This is a REAL thing, of course.


The OLFACTORY EXPERIENCE is just one important part of Liking and Loving.


Best regards,

So, how, REALLY, do you smell to your Thai GF?

Would she ever tell you?

NO....!!!!!

Probably, and most likely, she would never tell you just how much you stink.

Instead, she will endure it, and wait for another Farang, in her future life....one who....

Smells sweeter.

Do you REALLY think that she enjoys your scent????


There's weird mingin' coming from this post.

Part of the problem is Western society's use of toilet paper instead of bum-gun bidets. Nothing like wiping with a few sheet of tissue, then smearing the poop all over your butt-cheeks, and then believing that you don't actually smell like 💩

Insightful post.

The bum=guns are without a doubt one of the reasons Thai girls smell so good.

When I'm out and about I catch the eye of women far younger on not rare occasions. When I'm in the pub even the pub girls will compliment me on my clothes, skin/age, smell good. I have a reputation of never buying lady drinks and yet all the pub girlies well come chat me up and see how I'm doing. Mind you they're working and they don't need to do that.

Me too and Im 71 fat, ugly and stoned. But, I do try to bather daily and wear a fine premium scent such as Tom Ford Tobacco Vanilla or Xereus Naxos which scents the air about me when I am walking down Soi 4 past gaggles of sweaty yobs from Leeds reeking of beer, or a gaggle of first timers from Mumbai who share a broken shower with 10 of their countrymen or my favourite, spandex clad wig askewed Nigerian hookers.

I can only imagine the stench in Pattaya.

I always dress in clean clothes too, with my fringe of 1000 baht bills.

I just shudder to think how heavily Thailand’s chances of survival would deteriorate without shining examples of Western civilization like yourself. If you ever left, they might have to retire the phrase “quality tourists” forever. Who else would bless the country with such a magnificent combination of vulgar eyesore aesthetics and the unmistakable aroma of stale weed and alcohol flowing out of your gob by 10am? Truly irreplaceable cultural ambassadors like you, the very sort Thailand is so proud to attract.

So “Nigerian hookers” are your favourite? Ah, you mean the men. Sure, whatever floats your boat.

The women are usually from East Africa. Even your stereotypes are geographically illiterate.

Lookie, lookie, another "gay" insult from the woke gang. LOL. Homophobic much?

How do you know where they are from? You chat with them a lot, do you? hahahahahahaha

If you were a native american speaker, you would know why I used the term Nigerian LOL

Thanks! I am a free spender and nicely perfumed too. Plus an American. Im therefore a higher notch on the tourist scale. Plus I am a happy human being and dont join Forums to chase folks around and spew insults after getting banned for the same conduct before.

You post clearly illustrate the culture of envy prevalent among your lot.

You type like a minging old git who practices arguments in the shower and still loses them like an online tosser.

But please, keep adding “LOL” after every sentence, dude. It really gives the whole thing that homo intellectual confidence boost it desperately needs. Trump 2028, bro!

Just now, BilllyGOAT said:

Ah yes, “nicely perfumed.” The old Puerto Rican shower. A timeless classic among men who think a few spritzes in lieu of bathing counts as personal growth.

And the “I’m American therefore higher on the tourist scale” bit was magnificent. Truly heartwarming to see someone still clinging to 1997 with such determination. Most Americans abroad these days tend to lower their voices and pray nobody asks where they’re from, but you’ve clearly chosen the bold “obnoxious exchange student on his third beer before noon” approach instead. Admirable commitment to the bit.

The imaginary “banned before” storyline was a nice touch and easily overlooked too. You do seem to enjoy inventing little cinematic universes in your head whenever reality refuses to cooperate. Very creative coping mechanism, but slightly undermined by the awkward little detail that the forum seems to react to my posts rather more warmly than yours. Still, never let reality interrupt a dramatic and confused monologue.

As for the “culture of envy” angle, that was weapons grade level misconception. You’ve spent this entire exchange wildly guessing nationalities, politics, sexuality, motives, probably blood type by now, all because somebody laughed at your tragic pub philosopher routine. It is genuinely fascinating watching a tired old mug build an entire conspiracy board just to avoid accepting that people simply think you look and behave like a complete bell-end.

LOL, you are definitely a rerun. You will give yourself away sooner or later.

Back in the day as in the 1600's? That is the time period of the novel, and yes, hygiene then isn't what it is today so the whole premise of this thread is nonsense.

This forum keeps sinking lower and lower. The number of posts that would not deserve a sensible response if the person was sitting next to you is getting bigger and bigger.

At least they did not try to get Trump into it. But if they did at least I could think of something to say.

I do not think the forum is just declining. I think it has already undergone a kind of filtering process.

The people who had anything interesting, informed, or genuinely thoughtful to contribute in the form of new topics mostly lost interest and left. What remains is a mutually sustaining relationship between people posting increasingly irrational, nonsensical, or intellectually thin threads, and people still willing to respond to them.

At a certain point, discussion stops being driven by curiosity or quality and becomes driven by the need for any form of human interaction itself. One group keeps producing noise, often the same small handful of users responsible for many nearly identical schizophrenic threads every week, while the other keeps validating it because any engagement becomes preferable to silence, isolation, or loneliness.

From the outside, it creates the impression of activity while the overall standard steadily collapses toward the lowest common denominator.

Anyone relatively normal senses this almost immediately, which is probably why the attrition only accelerates over time.

There should be a law against dumb and useless posts, and also introduce another emoji that is

harsher than the red thumb down, because some of the post here really deserves them.

Wiping with toilet paper is not rocket science. I suppose when you wipe your mouth with a napkin during meals, you smear the food all over your face, and then believe you actually have a clean face? Is that how it works? Most Westerners are not that stupid.

People of East Asian ancestry do not generally have fewer underarm sweat glands. The main difference is usually in the type and activity of sweat glands, especially the apocrine glands in the armpits.

  • Humans have two main sweat gland types:

    • Eccrine glands → produce watery sweat for cooling

    • Apocrine glands → produce thicker secretions that skin bacteria break down into body odor

A genetic variant in the ABCC11 gene is very common in East Asian populations. This variant is associated with:

  • reduced apocrine secretion

  • less underarm odor

  • dry earwax (instead of wet earwax)

Because of this, many East Asians produce less noticeable body odor, but that does not necessarily mean fewer sweat glands overall or less sweating for temperature control.

Research shows:

  • Eccrine sweating (cooling sweat) is broadly similar across populations when controlling for fitness, climate adaptation, and body size.

  • The big difference is odor-related apocrine activity, not total sweat gland count.

Actually, I had been thinking of Trump from the very beginning....

Especially after reading a few popular conspiracy theories about Trump and his smell.

I discount these scurrilous reports from his detractors.

I therefore did not include any of these reports here.

This Topic is fine and good as it stands.

However, this is NOT a breakfast Topic for Sunday Morning, as one usually provides.

Wait until you have downed your Farang Food, smelly though it might be, before discussing the Topic at hand.

I am sure that using too much sugar in your coffee, or any sugar in Tea, leads to bad outgassing from the body, and risk for Diabetes and Coronary disease, as well.

Eat like a Thai, and be odorless like a Thai.

This is your best plan for life.

Back in the Vietnam war Aussies would not shower and eat local Vietcong food prior to going on ops. So that the VC and their dogs found it more difficult to locate them.

It's largely genetic, along with a person's own lifestyle, as diet and what you drink has outcome on a person's odor. Some who drink a lot , especially beer, as the body metabolizes the alcohol it gives off an odor through sweat and breath.

A best friend had this all his life, as he took daily showers and used cologne, but it still came through.

I always heard that blacks had a certain smell, and it wasn't evident being around black friends. They say whites smell like bologna, and it seemed to be true after a workout which was amusing. A lot does have to do with that diet, as certain spices eaten a lot can have that person give off an odor from them, like garlic, onions, curry and cumin, which has some giving Italians and Indians that stereotype, but it's still personal.

I heard many times, especially from a certain friend who was prejudiced towards some, that Indians didn't wash much so smelled. Going into many convenience stores in Texas, which are owned mostly by them or middle easterners, it was evident in some but not all, so again it might be diet related or again just a personal thing, as I've passed by many and some smelled bad while others didn't, or like cologne or perfume.

You forgot age, older people smell different than younger people. So it can take more self care to keep a fresh good look and smell.

True, most start changing the body chemistry in their 40's. Most people keep the same habits throughout their adult lives, unless they really need a change and can make them. If you take good care of yourself through the years, you'll know what to do when you get older.Using the same cologne can smell different years later on the same person.
