What about the guy with the umbrella. black jacket ,baseball cap and a huge grey beard, .looks like ZZ tops grandad ! we need to carry cameras more and start a topic for thee characters, . yep. seen him loads over the years. however, he wears a suit, has a long beard, and carries an umbrella. it does look a tad strange but take away the beard and he wouldnt get a second look in the west. i agree that we should have a proper thread on this as their is loads of people in patters that look very bizarre, can i change the title?

MrSquigle Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Whats ya problem...you wear what you wanna wear and I'll wear what I wanna wear. So whats your oppinion on singlets, flip-flops and shorts, and not to forget, the ultimate crime in farang fashion - the yellow t-shirt? My opinion is you should worry about more important things than my attire....I also wear socks with my thongs if it is a little chilly. What's wrong with a yellow T-shirt ? Are you saying we should not show our appreciation for the big fellow ? By wearing it, we are accepted a little more and show that we are one of them, not just a promiscuous tourist.

stevemiddie Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 The " Zulu Chief " lives at the Flybird Condo on soi 17. We see him pretty much every day. Definately a pepperoni short of a full pizza but he is harmless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Definitely diff characters running around in Thailand - saw a white lad in BKK with plates in his ears - like those in african countries. Nice lad turned out to be, however just thought it was well strange. However lesson is don't judge a book by its cover - checkout whats inside.

No no, you misunderstand me. That was actually a little kick at the whinging squad on here that seems to agree that anybody wearing said garments in public while farang should be flogged and burned at the town square. Meself I don't give a toss what people are wearing. Including the Zulu outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including the Zulu outfit. i do not think that there is anything wrong in it, fair play if you have the balls to walk round looking like that. however you are open to ridicule. i love me clothes, always have, thats why i find it so bizarre. maybe its my age though. i just dont get why though? he has his reasons for sure. id love to hear it. ill ask him next time i see him. i also love the fact that theres people in this city like him. just like to wag my tongue about them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astromash Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 HAS ANYONE SEEN A FELLA DRESSED.... .... like a cross between Screaming Lord Sutch and a pearly king? He rides a bicycle and is usually decked out in sort of gold tinsel and flags - UK and Thailand as I recall. I usually seem to see him on Third Road. A falang in his forties/early fifties. Wears a top hat? Probably just advertising a restaurant or something - but if he is it isn't obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piker Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 What about Andy/Sandy the English ladyboy? Actually a very nice (and straight!) bloke. What about the bicycle rider with the flashing bicycle and top hat? What about the adult Thai dressed as a boy scout always hanging around Carrefour? The others are the Soi 8 lady with the white face (obviously mentally challenged) and the other Soi 8 mainstay Thai male with a mohawk and recently tattoos on his face? Then there's farangs on choppers with tattoos on their face, arms, and neck. Aside from the face, this is becoming more and more common. There's a German with 2 big dogs near my condo who is covered everywhere but his face in tattoos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, what a menagerie of characters down there. I'm afraid if a dude tried walking around up here in Isaan like that...well...does the word "lynch" create a mental picture?

kopite Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 The others are the Soi 8 lady with the white face (obviously mentally challenged) my brother in law was stood behind her in the bank, and she kicked off. his missus then told him that it was a missing deposit, she should of had 4**,000 instead of 3**,***. cant remember the exact figures but i found that to be bizarre. i always figured her to be a down and out.
