Neeranam Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Although I don't wear sandals, what is wrong with this? Socks and sandals are universally ridiculed around the world. However, you will likely not find a more comfortable combination of footwear in the universe. I am a confessed habitual sock and sandal wearer, I can't help it. Although, I have since graduated to "skele-toes" which are even more hideous than socks and sandals, but I love them like family and I simply can't stop wearing them:D I wear what I find comfortable with and couldn't care what others think. I walk around the house and garden and nearby barefoot. Actually met a girlfriend's family once in a restaurant in Nontaburi with no shoes on but that's another story worth a thread of it's own. When my father, who is 75, comes here, he wears socks and sandals as he finds it comfortable. I really can't see any cause for ridicule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louse1953 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 You see some hippy looking dudes going about in fisherman pants, some of them suit them, but there are some atrocious eye damaging abominations out there. I caught it on Facebook a while ago before the site went down. They were talking about guys wearing these wife beaters, and I personally can't stand them. I've seen myself standing in decent restaurants and clubs and guys wander in wearing them, shorts and flip flops. At best they're day wear, of an evening smarten up a bit. I saw a guy in Hotshots ( a cabaret bar, decent mainly Thai crowd ) wander in wearing a grey wife beater, shorts and flip flops. His pals were dressed the same way, where he stood out was he was hairier than a silver back gorilla. I was repulsed, the Thais I was with were boaking, his hairy arms matted with sweat. It was disgusting. As far as I'm concerned it was the doormen to blame, they should be knocking guys dressed like that back. If your going out at night at least put on a smart casual shirt / polo shirt and dress shorts at least. I've guys who are overweight like men can be smart looking, and in Thailand it's not hard, not expensive for slimmer guys to dress sharp. Ideal day wear for many, atrocious evening wear in a club. I dress for me,not you.You concerns don't interest me at all.Next time you see me please tell me how disgusting i am,and we will discuss it,outside.

transam Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sun glasses on top of the head, in fact wearing them in the cinema on their nose. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louse1953 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I must admit I have never seen farangs wandering around in Fisherman pants and I would prefer if fat old men wore baggy pants than skin tight lycra. Maybe Thai's prefer their farang this way. What are fishermans pants? Shorts may be comfortable, but they look awful on any man whether they are fat, thin, tall short or whatever. Why!We live in a hot country,i dress for comfort every day,not for your opinon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louse1953 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I always wear shorts and have been refused entry on occasion IMO that was their loss not mine. Thailand is hot and humid how does wearing a button down shirt and tie even make sense? Lack of dress regulations is one of the reasons i came to this country.I have never been refused entry,but same as you,their loss.Plenty of other places to go.

kevozman1 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I gave up ridiculing what some foreign dudes and Thais wear while in Thailand quite some time back. Really as long as people dress in a clean fashion then I see no reason for others to be concern themselves too much. Coming from London originally I was at one point quite a hipster (certainly not anymore, that is for sure) and when I first come to Thailand the "given up" look of certain western tourists did amuse me as did the Thais who seemed to dress in a western trend from a decade or two previous, also with poor colour co-ordination and mostly fake designer gear, even in "trendy" (lol) Bangkok.

JemJem Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 For phuck's sake, let's let people feel okay with what they wear. If someone feels good about walking around in ultra minishorts and barefoot, don't criticise him/her; same thing for someone who likes to wear a suit, even on his/her day off from his/her office job.

chickenslegs Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 As long as they wear something: Let's be fair. Those two guys are at the beach, so a little overdressed if anything. Now, if they wander around Tesco or Big C like that .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears they're normal pants for me too. Only without the folding bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
