Of course there may be other factors ... some farangs are, how can I put it, pretty well 'enveloped' as the French would say ...

Would you mind disambiguating your innuendo ; unless you're implying that " les invites sont emmitoufles dans les couettes" ,I cannot imagine the meaning of your double entendre?

I'm just looking for the Thai equivalent of an Army Navy surplus store here, with used blankets.

I'm looking for one of those lovely ,warm,plump,fleecy, sleeveless jackets made by people like Berghaus,North Face etc.

Do you think I might find one on sale up in the hills?
