Portlandstone Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 When it comes to underwear I need something that keeps me wrapped but comfortable. I've only seen local Thai underwear and don't even want to try, unless someone has a recommendation for Thai underwear comfortable for a westerner. Would like to get real stuff from the US, such as Hanes classics or the like. Any recs? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassienie Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I have no idea where you are located, but there is a Marks and Spencer in Chiang Mai. Most of their clothing is imported from the UK and is expensive, but it`s good quality stuff. Here is the link to the Marks and Spencer in Thailand web site: http://www2.marksandspencer.com/thecompany....asp?country=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that farang dangly bits are somehow different from Thai dangly bits? Why do you need a Western recommendation for a pair of underpants? You don't buy into the fable that western willies are bigger than asian willies do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I'm afraid that calling the cheap stuff you buy at Kmart the "real stuff", is going to make you the brunt of jokes my newbie friend. If you are willing to go up market a bit, then checkout any decent department store and you will find brand-name stuff to coddle your family jewels.

GungaDin Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) @ endure Maybe because the quality and fit are crap? Edited November 6, 2009 by GungaDin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am used to the Pinklao branch, which tends to be slightly cheaper than the ones in CBD. Make sure that you know your size, because no try, refund or exchange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizzi39 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) Fortunately my mother sends me underwear from the States. I only wear GAP boxers (OK maybe too much information) I have had a hard time in the sock department as well, so I have "Docker" socks sent from the States as well. Unfortunately I have never found a good pair of undies or socks here My GAP undies are made in Indonesia and Bangladesh, Socks made in China, but both companies have good quality control.

CitizenSmith Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Undies? Who needs undies? Beat the heat and swing to the beat. Hahahaha. And socks what socks are we talking about? I wear trainer socks and that's about it, you can buy them just about everywhere here. Please don't wear long socks with shorts it looks so incredibly naff.

Meridian007 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I think it's the quality of the fabric. Cotton here just isn't cotton to me. That's why I too bring it from home. I think there was a post on this a while back? What would you bring from home? A few posters commented on the quality of cotton here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave111223 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Aren't Hanes and Fruit of the Loom the plain white cotton super-econo undies that you buy from Walmart...? That's the "Real Stuff"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
