RakJungTorlae Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Why don’t you stitch your self a half yellow half red shirt and wear a sing around your neck saying “som tum mai aroi” … hahah that would be classic. What’s white shirt got to do with anything anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tod Daniels Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Back on topic to the O/P's post. White isn't gonna have a HUGE impact on these people. In fact its likely to have no impact at all, other than perhaps having thais confuse you for a mormon or jehovah witness missionary. It's not gonna be seen as a political statement or an "I am neutral" statement either. There is just no significance in that color here, unlike the ever popular yellow, pink, sky blue, and of course now red. Personally I don't give two shits about the political deal here, it's for the thais to sort out, but I feel sad that thais are fighting thais.

PhilHarries Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Jeez, I guess ourmaninbangers is suffering from one of those "Chang moments". Don't worry it'll pass leaving a pain behind the eyes as a reminder. To the OP, can't figure out if you are serious (most others it seems think not) but I wouldn't worry about shirt colour or making a peace statement or whatever. Nobody gives a dam_n what you think as long as you drink up and pay your bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chutai Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 White reflects the suns heat, black absorbs it, there can only be one winner - learn to eat more carefully<snip> Something of an urban myth that one. Wearing either black or white is exactly the same as far as heat is concerned. Both absorb the sun's heat in equal measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjan jb Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 "Good Guys Don't Wear White" I'm a poor boy born in a rut Some say my manners ain't the best Some of my friends made a whole lot of trouble And some towns are better than the rest But tell your momma and your papa Sometimes good guys don't wear white Everyday I work hard At night I spend restless time Those rich kids and all their lazy money They can't hold a candle to mine So tell your momma and your papa Sometimes good guys don't wear white Good guys, bad guys Which is which? The white collar worker Or the digger of the ditch? Man, who's to say who's the better man? I'm doing the very best I can Best I can You thought I had a dirty mind All those messed up chicks Of the changing times Love-filled and easy living Can't come close To the love that I've given So tell your momma and your papa Sometimes good guys don't wear white They don't wear white They don't wear white The Standells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuestHouse Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Back in the days of Poland's "Solidarność" movement a friend of mine was arrested while on a business trip to Warsaw. He'd committed the crime of going out for a walk wearing white running shoes - on the very day that the Solidarność movement had called for people who support the fight for democracy should wear white shoes. -- Mind, spare a thought for all those Man-U fans in Thailand - 'Come on you Reds' might not go down very well in some parts.

dingdongrb Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 White reflects the suns heat, black absorbs it, there can only be one winner - learn to eat more carefully<snip> Something of an urban myth that one. Wearing either black or white is exactly the same as far as heat is concerned. Both absorb the sun's heat in equal measure. I think you had better get out your 7th grade science book and look that one up as it is not a myth.. Dark colors tend to absorb heat more quicker than lighter colors. But as far as how the OP dresses, I suggest an outfit like this if he is really looking to make a statement and get noticed....

jackr Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I wouldn't worry about it as we're sort of exempted from the current colour thing, unless you make a point of wearing either colour in the wrong place at the right time that is. Just don't go wearing yellow with the words 'I Love PAD' / 'Phom Rak PAD' wherever you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandpops Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 No no no. A white beer chang vest would show the vomit, beans, egg, beer, coffee etc and scare the locals. No the natural colour of chang vests should be vomint and egg yolk yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
