Public Displays Of Affection In Thailand

[meadish_sweetball]

Holding hands, light kiss on the cheek or lips.

All of these displays of affection are *generally* seen as ok for farang since Thais are familiar with them from American movies.

Deep tongue kissing doesnt belong in public IMO. You can do whatever you want when you have privacy (and with any luck, you do ) but don't snog in other people's faces... I am sure some of you disagree and that there are cultural differences at play here as well, but personally I think it is part of showing consideration to others.

unlike what other girls have said about their thai men mine will hold hands & kiss on the lips in public but neither of us are particually demonstrative anyway so I wouldn't feel comfortable with anything more than peck on the lips in public anyway. At his mums is a different story but she does let us sleep in the same bed together  (in the same room as everyone else so no nookie)

Boo, my husband will hold my hand and give me a peck on the cheek in the US, but here? No way. Of course, it might have something to do with the fact that everybody knows everybody else and everybody knows everybody else's business. I can just hear it now "Oooh, look, they are kissing!" It would be all over the island in a matter of hours

A quick peck on the lips in public or in front of others, we generally hold hands everywhere we go.

[Boo]

even here in the UK my friends thai husband wont kisss or hold hands with her in public!

[Sarpedon]

Holding hands in public is not a problem anywhere i go with the gf and most of the time a quick light kiss on the lips or cheek will do...

[Fast Eddie]

I would usually say, and indeed voted for, kissing on the lips. However, depending on how much i've had to drink when i'm out, i could probably stretch to cover pretty much everything on the list, and i'm fairly sure i have at some point or other. What i deem appropriate would certainly change depending on where i was and who i was with.

And I believe the Americans are more familiar with 'French kissing' as opposed to 'snogging' ?

I believe it's called FREEDOM kissing now... .

Long snog - but I guess that was in a club.

Having voted I now think I wouldn't do that in public around a shopping centre or on the street...there's a time and a place...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Near a fruit stall zazzer....??? Long time no chat buddy.

[Joey Boy]

voted for holding hands as thats the way things work over here, though I would'nt be bothered about shaggin in public if that was the norm

[Ice Maiden]

When I was in the UK I've never been one for holding hands to be honest. Sometimes I'll just take a quick hold of the arm so my guy knows I'm there!

Usually some light kissing, depending on where I am at the time it will turn into heavier kissing and petting like in cinemas that kind of thing.

[bkkmadness]

Get out of it Icey, I bet your the kind of girl that turns off the light before sex by closing the car door.

Nopes. None of these farang Pattaya guys have attracted me. But in Bangkok there are some real hotties!

I draw the line at kissing on the cheek. It gets enough public attention simply when trying to remove the knickers.

BOOM BOOM!

Now that I know what snogging is

Im " allowed " a kiss on the lips.....sometimes . I would not want to go farther than that in public anyway .

[sego]

Personally light snogging is what I am most comfy with!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, what the heck is snogging?

Deep Tongue kissing for you yanks!!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You would have said "French kiss", everyone would have understood I guess....

I voted kiss on the cheek (back in farangland, I am shy, even more here)

[Soph]

For me, a quick kiss on the lips is it - in any country. It makes me want to puke when I see people snogging in public - especially in the street, they should be arrested! Nightclub is a bit more exceptable (ive probably done it myself a few times drunkenly!)

The other day I was driving my bike through Lamai and saw a fat old farrang guy sat in one of the dodgy bars snogging with this poor tiny Thai girl who looked like she had no controll over the situation. It was disgusting, not so much for me, but for all the normal Thais who were driving past and had to whitness this

Arrested that is bit much, not a muslim country yet. Your scenario is oddly entertaining ie old farang in dodgey bar. To be honest I'd be less impressed in normal areas - expect as much in dodgey areas.

[chanchao]

Ok, I would vote 'kiss on the cheek' AND/OR light petting. But I can't because snogging is in between.
